  • Patent number: 11436267
    Abstract: In an approach to summarizing contextually sensitive text documents based on long short-term memory networks, one or more computer processors create a model based on a vectorized document corpus. The one or more computer processors determine one or more contextually relevant sections utilizing the created model. The one or more computer processors generate a relevancy level for each of the one or more respective determined sections. The one or more computer processors prioritize each of the one or more determined sections based on the respective relevancy level. The one or more computer processors generate one or more textual summaries based on the prioritized sections, wherein the generated one or more textual summaries are aggregated into a document.

  • Patent number: 11422833
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method that automatically generates a user interface (HMI) based on a selection of spreadsheet cells. The spreadsheet controls operations within the processor(s) of one or more vision system cameras. After selecting a range of cells in the spreadsheet, the user applies the system and method by pressing a button, or using a menu command that results in an automatically generated HMI with appropriate scaling of interface elements and a desired layout of such elements on the associated screen. Advantageously, the system and method essentially reduces the user's workflow to two steps, selecting spreadsheet cells and generating the HMI around them. The generated HMI runs in a web browser that can be instantiated on a user device, and communicates directly to a vision system processor(s). Data can pass directly between the user interface running in a web browser and the vision system processor(s).

  • Patent number: 11373034
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide a database-driven interdepartmental workflow, communication, and data gathering tool that allows forms to be designed without relying on trained software developers. A network device stores control object definitions and provides a section user interface to solicit a compilation of control objects for a section template. The network device provides a forms user interface to assemble multiple section templates, from a group of stored section templates that includes the section template, into an interactive form. The forms user interface generates section path logic options for each of the selected sections based on a multi-level hierarchy and key input terms supplied by a user. The network device provides for access, by other registered users, to the interactive form; receives form data via the interactive form; and stores the form data associated with the interactive form.

  • Patent number: 11354710
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for facilitating affiliate link generation using a web browser application. A publisher enables the system by identifying a webpage on an affiliate web site. The system performs an initial assessment of the page to extract webpage information, which is compared to information stored in a database. If the extracted information matches stored information, a record of the webpage is displayed and an affiliate link is dynamically generated for immediate use. If the extracted information does not match stored information, a new record of the webpage is created. If the webpage contains product-specific data, a product-specific record is stored. If the webpage does not contain product-specific data, a non-product record is stored. An affiliate link is then dynamically created. The new record of the product and dynamically created affiliate link is added to the database for immediate use.

  • Patent number: 11331007
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for monitoring a workout and for generating improved interfaces for the same. One example user interface detects when a workout of a particular type is started and begins generating activity data related to workout metrics associated with the type of workout selected. Using determined current values for the workout metrics, the example user interface displays a pro-view display that includes indicators for the workout metrics associated with the selected workout type. The pro-view display also includes a focus indicator that highlights a selected indicator representative of a focused workout metric. The focus indicator is movable among the indicators representative of the workout metrics based on user input. Upon detection of a gesture, the example user interface transitions to a simple-view display that includes an indicator representative of the focused workout metric.

  • Patent number: 11294542
    Abstract: Different types of media experiences can be developed based on characteristics of the consumer. “Linear” experiences may require execution of a pre-built script, although the script could be dynamically modified by a media production platform. Linear experiences can include guided audio tours that are modified or updated based on the location of the consumer. “Enhanced” experiences include conventional media content that is supplemented with intelligent media content. For example, turn-by-turn directions could be supplemented with audio descriptions about the surrounding area. “Freeform” experiences, meanwhile, are those that can continually morph based on information gleaned from a consumer. For example, a radio station may modify what content is being presented based on the geographical metadata uploaded by a computing device associated with the consumer.
