Patent number: 10606453Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatically synchronizing a visual presentation with a live presenter. Visual presentation slides are preprocessed to determine one or more topics for each slide. A topic index contains one or more topics corresponding to slides of the presentation. As a presenter provides a verbal presentation for corresponding slides, natural language processing analyzes the verbal presentation and creates one or more temporal verbal topic categories. The temporal verbal topic categories are used to search the topic index to find one or more slides that best match the current temporal verbal topic categories. In this way, the slides can automatically follow the discussion of the presenter, enabling improved presentations that can enhance the user experience, increase audience engagement, and improve the dissemination of information.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kelley Anders, Jonathan Dunne, Jeremy R.

Patent number: 10503387Abstract: A novel method for scrolling an electronic document (e.g., a webpage, article, etc.) that is displayed in a display area on a screen is provided. The method receives a swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive input surface, which can be a touch-sensitive surface of a cursor controller (e.g., trackpad, etc.) or can be a touch-sensitive surface of the screen. Based on the swipe gesture's velocity, the method scrolls the document on the display screen and identifies a first location on the document for ending the scrolling. Also, based on this velocity, the method identifies a size for a neighboring region around the identified location. The method then determines whether a scroll stoppage marker is defined for the neighboring region. Each scroll stoppage marker specifies a location within the document for stopping the document's scrolling.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jean Sebastiaen Metz, Pepijn T.

Patent number: 10474320Abstract: Some embodiments provide a document viewing application with first and second document channel browsing modes. The first mode displays selectable items corresponding to document channels. Selection of an item causes the application to add the corresponding document channel to a set of selected document channels from which to retrieve documents for presentation within the application and dynamically add items corresponding to document channels related to the selected document channel to the selectable items for display in the first mode. The second mode displays a first set of selectable items corresponding to sources of documents and a second set of selectable items corresponding to document topics. Selection of an item in the second browsing mode causes the application to add the corresponding document channel to the set of selected document channels and modify the selectable items presented in the second mode a next time the second mode is entered.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Genevieve Garand, Imran Chaudhri, Anton Davydov, Michel Elings, Mark A.
