  • Patent number: 11954912
    Abstract: A method for cutting or extracting video clips from a video, including the audio content relevant to points of particular interest, and combining the same for instruction or training on particular points; a computing device applying the method extracts text information from the spoken audio content of a video to be cut and obtains multiple paragraph segmentation positions as candidates for inclusion in a desired and finished presentation by analyzing the information from text representing the spoken audio content, the analysis being carried out by a semantic segmentation model. Candidate items of text are obtained by isolating pieces of text according to the paragraph segmentation positions. Time stamps of the candidate text segments are acquired, and candidate video clips are obtained by cutting the video according to the acquired time stamps.

  • Patent number: 11934781
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a flexible controllable summarization system that allows users to control the generation of summaries without manually editing or writing the summary, e.g., without the user actually adding or deleting certain information under various granularity. Specifically, the summarization system performs controllable summarization through keywords manipulation. A neural network model is learned to generate summaries conditioned on both the keywords and source document so that at test time a user can interact with the neural network model through a keyword interface, potentially enabling multi-factor control.

  • Patent number: 11922689
    Abstract: A process of augmenting images of incident scenes with object descriptions retrieved from an audio stream. In operation, an electronic computing device detects an object of interest in an image captured corresponding to an incident scene and identifies an audio stream linked to an incident identifier of an incident that occurred at the incident scene. The electronic computing device then determines whether the audio stream contains an audio description of the detected object of interest. When it is determined that the audio stream contains the audio description of the detected object of interest, the electronic computing device generates a visual or audio prompt corresponding to the audio description of the detected object of interest and plays back the visual or audio prompt via a corresponding display or audio-output component communicatively coupled to the electronic computing device.

  • Patent number: 11869242
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for recording a portion of content of a sports game. A request to record the portion of the content, which specifies game clock time criteria, is received by user equipment. During transmission of the content, frames of the content including a game progress graphic are analyzed to determine time values representing progress points of the sports game. In response to determining that a first time value representing a first progress point of the sports game matches the game clock time criteria of the request, the user equipment begins to record the portion of the content. In response to determining that a second time value does not match the game clock time criteria of the request, the user equipment stops the recording of the portion of the content and stores the recorded portion of the content.

  • Patent number: 11864860
    Abstract: A biometric imaging and biotelemetry (BIB) system is provided that may be configured to capture, analyze, and process qualitative and quantitative biomarker data acquired from the process of imaging individuals. The BIB system can rapidly measure facial and other body temperatures of a test subject, along with a plurality of other biometric parameters that may be compiled into a subject-specific health profile which, in turn, may provide insights into the wellness or illness of the individual. The BIB system captures biometric data by appropriately configured, multispectral, high resolution digital cameras and sensors. This data is then interconnected to data processing units that employ algorithms, artificial intelligence, and self-learning/deep learning to analyze and process data, render decisions, and manage actions via complex analytical methodologies. The BIB system provides essentially instantaneous analyses that give real-time insights into the wellness or illness of a test subject.

  • Patent number: 11854529
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining hint words that improve the accuracy of automated speech recognition (ASR) systems. Hint words are determined in the context of a user issuing voice commands in connection with a voice interface system. Terms are initially taken from most frequently occurring terms in operation of a voice interface system. For example, most frequently occurring terms that arise in electronic search queries or received commands are selected. Certain of these terms are selected as hint words, and the selected hint words are then transmitted to an ASR system to assist in translation of speech to text.
