  • Patent number: 10764218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tree-type homepage system and a homepage management method. The tree-type homepage system includes a plurality of homepages connected according to the organization internal administrative management relationship or personnel internal relationship. Each of the homepages has at least one identification number with a preset length, and is used to implement a management operation on a subordinate homepage belonging to it. Each of the identification numbers is used to identify homepage information corresponding thereto and communication between the homepage and a target homepage. The existing organization internal relationship or administrative management relationship is mapped based on the tree-type homepage system to implement management on the internal organization and personnel, so that the management efficiency on the organization internal personnel or organization branches can be greatly improved, and the management process is more convenient, precise and human-based.

  • Patent number: 10754514
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems provide user interfaces that allow users to review search results, pinpoint relevant portions of media content items where the identified objects are determined to be present, review detector performance and retrain detectors, providing search result feedback, and/or reviewing video monitoring results and analytics.

  • Patent number: 10755040
    Abstract: An automated content authoring system includes a semantic article writing engine that processes an article template that includes sentences with fillable fields. The article template includes an article context comprising an article subject type and a subject, and each of the fillable fields includes a field key. The article writing engine selects a data set that corresponds to the article subject type and the subject. For each of the fillable fields, the engine will look for content elements having an article key that corresponds to the field key. When retrieving a content element having an article key that corresponds to the field key, it will insert the attribute of that content element into the fillable field to yield the digital article. The system will then publish the digital article to a content publication service.

  • Patent number: 10747728
    Abstract: As users increasingly shift to cloud services, devices are less likely to be pre-loaded with applications that support the multitudes of different file types that exist today and are continuing to be created. Thus, embodiments are directed to editing and sharing unsupported files through an instantly generated preview without having to install applications that support each file type and/or subscribe to services. For example, in response to detecting a user's request to access a file that is stored locally and determining a lack of a local application or previewer associated with the file, a preview that includes a presentation of the file using a registered previewer may be instantly generated. The preview may be rendered such that the file can be edited and/or shared through the previewer based on a level of editing and/or sharing functionality, respectively, where the levels of functionality are based on the user's subscription status.

  • Patent number: 10713019
    Abstract: Developer and runtime environments supporting multi-modal input for computing systems are disclosed. The developer environment includes a gesture library of human body gestures (e.g., hand gestures) that a previously-trained, system-level gesture recognition machine is configured to recognize. The developer environment further includes a user interface for linking a gesture of the gesture library with a semantic descriptor that is assigned to a function of the application program. The application program is executable to implement the function responsive to receiving an indication of the gesture recognized by the gesture recognition machine within image data captured by a camera. The semantic descriptor may be additionally linked to a different input modality than the gesture, such as a natural language input.

  • Patent number: 10685175
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of data analysis and prediction of a dataset through algorithm extrapolation from a spreadsheet formula. In one embodiment, a method extracts one or more spreadsheet formulas from one or more cells of a spreadsheet file and assembles a formula algorithm. The formula algorithm accepts a set of data entries comprising one or more independent variables, and outputs a prediction metric as a dependent variable such that each data entry is calculation independent. An extrapolated algorithm expressed in a programming language is generated. A computation block of a dataset is specified and submitted for computation along with the extrapolated algorithm over a network. The dataset comprising two or more data entries usable as an input to the extrapolated algorithm. An output data re-combined from the first output block and one or more additional output blocks is received.
