Patent number: 11249665Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with object synthesis are described. One example apparatus includes logic for identifying a block in a data de-duplication repository and for identifying a reference to the block. The apparatus also includes logic for representing a source object using a first named, organized collection of references to blocks in the data de-duplication repository and logic for representing a target object using a second named, organized collection of references. The apparatus is configured to synthesize the target object from the source object. Since synthesis may be complicated by edge cases, the apparatus is configured to account for conditions including a block in the target object needing less than all the data in a source object block, data to be used to synthesize the target object residing in a sparse hole in a data stream, and the target object needing data not present in the source object.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Quantum CorporationInventors: Timothy Stoakes, Andrew Leppard

Patent number: 11227006Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for navigating through a media object collection using a mobile device. Users navigate to the target media objects by repeatedly specifying filters. After a user specifies a filter, the filter is applied in combination with all previously specified filters to produce a filtered set of media objects. After a filter is applied, a display level is selected for each hierarchical dimension for which the media objects have metadata. The selection of the display level may be based on the number of distinct values that the media objects in the filtered set have for each level of the hierarchical dimension. Single-action controls are then displayed for each of the values that the media objects in the filtered set have for the selected display level.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yefim Grosman, Bertrand Serlet, Douglas Richardson

Patent number: 11216496Abstract: Roughly described, a system for user identification of a desired document. A database is provided which identifies a catalog of documents in an embedding space, the database identifying a distance in the embedding space between each pair of documents corresponding to a predetermined measure of dissimilarity between the pair of documents. The system presents an initial collection of the documents toward the user, from an initial candidate space which is part of the embedding space. The system then iteratively refines the candidate space using geometric constraints on the embedding space determined in response to relative feedback by the user. At each iteration the system identifies to the user a subset of documents from the then-current candidate space, based on which the user provides the relative feedback. In an embodiment, these subsets of documents are more discriminative than the average discriminativeness of similar sets of documents in the then-current candidate space.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Evolv Technology Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Nigel Duffy

Patent number: 11017019Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for authentic content search using style classifications. A system may be a search engine that uses a set of style classifiers to detect one or more styles associated with an image and a logistic regression model to determine a level of authenticity for the image based on the associated styles. Training images are fed to train a series of neural networks that output a set of style classifiers. An image is processed through the style classifiers to determine respective probabilities for each style classification. The results from the set of style classifiers are then input to the logistic regression model to determine an authenticity score for the image. For example, the authenticity score shows how authentic is an image (e.g., a score of 1.0 refers to 100% authenticity, whereas a score of 0.0 represents a non-authentic image).Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Shutterstock, Inc.Inventors: Heath Hohwald, David Chester
