  • Patent number: 11520973
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing user-specific previews for terms within text. An example method can include receiving tracked user behavior reflecting terms selected by a user and entered into a search. A representation of known words can be created based on the tracked user behavior. By training machine-learning models for each individual user, personalized previews can be presented when each user encounters a new body of text, such as in a webpage or email. The preview can apply to a term not previously known to the user but likely to be searched by the user, relying on content gathered from a search on a search medium that the user was likely to use. The content can be presented to the user in a graphical user interface allowing for interaction and feedback.

  • Patent number: 11514231
    Abstract: A web browser extension identifies graphic objects from images or video being presented by a web browser. Webpages related to the graphic objects are identified. Web links that facilitate navigation to the webpages are embedded over an area of the image corresponding to the identified graphic image. Where the graphic objects are identified within video, the web links are progressively embedded within graphic object boundaries of the graphic object as the graphic objects move locations during progression of the video. In this way, a user is able to interact with graphic objects of images and video to navigate to webpages related to the graphic objects. Some implementations provide a webpage redirect command at a stop point of the video so that the user can interact with graphic objects while the video is playing and without interrupting the video.

  • Patent number: 11507639
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and accessibility analysis devices are disclosed that identify a web page context box. A hash function is applied to properties of elements to generate a semantic layer hash value for a semantic layer for the context box. The properties or elements are identified based on a semantic layer type. A determination is made that the context box is equivalent to another context box of another web page with respect to the semantic layer based on a match of the semantic layer hash value to another semantic layer hash value generated during a prior accessibility evaluation of the other web page. A review of an accessibility issue associated with one of the elements is retrieved based on the other semantic layer hash value. An issue report comprising the accessibility issue, the review, and the one of the elements is then generated and output.

  • Patent number: 11507737
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system dynamically adjusts an electronic form of an application based on user data and form data specified for the electronic form. Form data that specifies characteristics of the electronic form is initially received by a computing device. The form data specifies one or more rules configured to vary the content of the electronic form that is presented for different users. User data indicating characteristics of a user is then obtained by the computing device. An interactive element is then selected from among a set of multiple interactive elements based on the received user data and the rules in the received form data. A view of the electronic form is customized for the user by including, in the customized view, the interactive element. The view of the customized electronic form is then displayed by the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11475214
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein relate to determining whether to provide auto-completed values for fields in a digital form. More specifically, for a given field in the digital form, a machine-learning model can be trained to transform an input data set into a predicted field value and can further generate a corresponding confidence metric. A relative-loss parameter can be determined for the field, where the relative-loss parameter represents a loss of responding to an inaccurate predicted field value for the field relative to a loss corresponding to a human user providing a field value for the field. A confidence-metric threshold can be determined for the field based on the relative-loss parameter. For a given usage of the digital form, it can then be determined whether to auto-complete the field with a predicted field value generated by the model by determining whether the corresponding confidence metric exceeds the confidence-metric threshold.

  • Patent number: 11455360
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an inline editing field for nested website settings. A computing device may be used to process a search query with a search engine and receive results. The search query may include a search for a particular website setting, such as a user profile, account, security, or preference setting that may allow a user to provide input and affect particular user or website data with the website. Determination of the requested website may be performed through a machine learning engine. The machine learning engine may identify the security setting nested in the website through multiple navigations, website flows, and navigations, and may extract processes and flows for use of the setting. An inline editing field may then allow for user input in a search interface that allows for editing the setting without navigation to the website and nested setting.

  • Patent number: 11451499
    Abstract: Implementations relate to embedded programs and interfaces for chat conversations. In some implementations, a method includes initiating an embedded application in association with a chat interface displayed by a messaging application that executes at least in part on a first user device. The chat interface displays messages originating from other user devices participating in a chat conversation over a network and associated with chat users. An indication is received over the network that one or more particular devices of the other user devices have connected to an embedded session associated with the embedded application. In response, chat identities associated with particular users of the particular user devices are provided from the messaging application to the embedded application. The particular users are designated as member users of the embedded session, and the embedded application is updated based on data received from particular user devices of the embedded session.

  • Patent number: 11449675
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to perform selective deep parsing of natural language content. A targeted deep parse natural language processing system is configured to recognize one or more triggers that specify elements within natural language content that indicate a portion of natural language content that is to be targeted with a deep parse operation. A portion of natural language content is received and a pre-deep parse scan operation is performed on the natural language content based on the one or more triggers to identify one or more sub-portions of the natural language content that contain at least one of the one or more triggers. A deep parse is performed on only the one or more sub-portions of the portion of natural language content that contain at least one of the one or more triggers, while other sub-portions of the portion of natural language content are not deep parsed.
