  • Patent number: 11287950
    Abstract: A graphical planner allows a user to create or select, and then display, images that represent tasks and events to be completed by the user, as well as corresponding images that represent tasks and events that the user has already completed. The graphical planner allows a user to plan and schedule events and tasks by indicating an event or task in a non-textual (i.e., graphic or symbolic) manner. Completion of the events and tasks by the user can also be signaled or otherwise indicated in a non-textual (e.g., visual, audible) manner.

  • Patent number: 11250205
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to evaluating the performance characteristics of annotator configurations against text pattern constructs in unstructured text. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, unstructured text is received by a processor. A text pattern construct is identified in the unstructured text and a first performance characteristic of an annotator is determined based on the text pattern construct. The text pattern construct is converted to a natural language text and a second performance characteristic of the annotator is determined based on the natural language text. A delta is determined between the first performance characteristic and the second performance characteristic. An alternative annotator configuration is identified for a portion of the unstructured text comprising the text pattern construct.

  • Patent number: 11231841
    Abstract: Implementations relate to continuation of playback of media content by different devices. In some implementations, a method includes causing a stream of media content data to be received from a stream source and output by a first device to a user, where a portion of the data is buffered on the first device before output. An indication is detected that the user has stopped using the first device for output of the content data. A place marker indicates a portion of the content that is output approximately at the time of the indication. The method causes the stream of content data to be received and output by a second device starting at the place marker portion. The buffered content data is sent from the first device to the second device for output by the second device before unbuffered portions of the content data received from the stream source.
