Abstract: A data-processing system identifies entities and relationships between entities that are recited in a set of documents. By identifying differently-named entities that share similar sets of relationships, the system is able to identify differently-named, but identical entities recited in the set of documents. The resulting entity and relationship map may be displayed to an end-user for intelligence analysis. In some examples, the end-user may make corrections to the relationship map which can then be used by the system to improve the inferences produced.

Abstract: Machine data reflecting operation of a monitored system is ingested and made available for search by a data intake and query system (DIQS). Ingested data includes log data entries produced by an application that represent low-level instances of user interface or interaction events. Inference processing generates a new collection of data instances that each identifies a higher-level task performed by a user in a sequence of the low-level events without regard to any explicit task affiliation data component of the low-level instances. Information for the task may include a measure of confidence that each low-level event of the sequence is properly associated with the task. Tasks of the new collection may be advantageously visualized and included in downstream processing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing remote assistance via augmented reality (AR) by utilizing a field service device and a remote expert device are disclosed herein. An example method includes a field service device generating a non-AR video feed, and sending the non-AR video feed to a remote expert device. A user of the remote expert device then annotates the non-AR video feed by drawing a scribble pattern onto the non-AR video feed. The remote expert device then sends the scribble pattern to the field service device as an array of coordinates. The field service device then maps the received scribble pattern to a plane to create an AR scribble pattern. The field service device then creates an AR video feed based on the AR scribble pattern.

Abstract: A method of providing an augmented view of a real world scenery and of an occluded subsurface infrastructure. An image is taken by a camera with an image sensor and image reference information comprising a camera position and a camera orientation. From three dimensional information of a subsurface infrastructure, a two dimensional projection on the image sensor is made by using the reference information. A projection position of an anchor element of the subsurface infrastructure being visible on the at least one image is compared with an image position of the anchor element. A difference between the image position and the projection position is compensated for matching and overlaying the two dimensional projection derived from the three dimensional information of the subsurface infrastructure with the at least one image and thereby providing an improved augmented view.

Abstract: A head-mounted situational awareness system and method of operation provides a head gear with a retinal display, and multiple sensory-related electrical components. A microphone array and a motion sensor are integrated into head gear. The microphone array detects incoming audio signals to generate an audio signal. The motion sensor detects position and orientation of head gear relative to audio source to generate a position signal. A processor utilizes speech-to-text software to translate the sound to text for display on retinal display. The processor utilizes a position algorithm and triangulation functions to generate a position graphic of audio source. Noise cancelling software reduces background noise to sound. A remote subsystem, or command center, communicates audio signal and position signal with the head gear to receive an audio picture of the area, and also to generate actionable information that displays in real time on the retinal display of head gear.

Abstract: Devices, methods, systems, and media are described for selecting virtual objects for user interaction in an extended reality environment. Distant virtual objects are brought closer to the user within a virtual 3D space to situate the selected virtual object in virtual proximity to the user's hand for direct manipulation. A virtual object is selected by the user based on movements of the user's hand and/or head that are correlated or associated with an intent to select a specific virtual object within the virtual 3D space. As the user's hand moves in a way that is consistent with this intent, the virtual object is brought closer to the user's hand within the virtual 3D space. To predict the user's intent, hand and head trajectory data may be compared to a library of kinematic trajectory templates to identify a best-matched trajectory template.
