Abstract: Artificial Intelligence systems receive two dimensional design plans (e.g., physical, or electronic documents) that are processed to mimic the perception, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making formerly performed by human workers assessing the design plans for compliance with an applicable code. AI analysis converts vector images into patterns that are conducive to machine learning and generates a dynamic interface that allows a user to interact with the AI findings. The AI assesses whether a building described in the design plans complies with a relevant code set forth by an authority having jurisdiction. Codes may include, for example, codes enforcing fire safety and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Abstract: Example implementations may involve using a prompt to prevent inadvertent control or playback of audio content. When a mobile device receives input data indicating a command to play back audio content on a first playback device, the mobile device determines whether the mobile device is in proximity to the first playback device. If the mobile device determines that the mobile device within a given proximity to the first playback device, the mobile device transmits, via the network interface, one or more commands to instruct the first playback device to play back the audio content. However, if the mobile device determines that the mobile device outside the proximity, the mobile device displays a prompt indicating that the mobile device is the outside the given proximity to the first playback device and a selectable control that, when selected, transmits the one or more commands to play back the audio content.

Abstract: The layout of network-based interfaces can be defined in markup language files rendered in browsers executed on client devices. Interference problems among interface elements in such interfaces can be detected using the tools and processes described herein. The text nodes in a markup language file can be parsed out for processing. A number of pseudo characters or strings can be inserted into the text nodes to mimic the expansion that might occur if the plaintext in the text nodes was translated into a different language. The positions of those text nodes can then be determined and evaluated for interference with each other. Additionally or alternatively, the text nodes can be machine translated to a different language. In turn, the markup file including the translated text nodes can be rendered to evaluate whether the translated text nodes interfere with each other using optical character recognition, for example.
