  • Patent number: 11748660
    Abstract: Implementations relate to an automated assistant that can automate repeatedly performed procedures. The automation can involve communicating with different users, organizations, and/or other automated assistants. The automated assistant, with prior permission from respective user(s), can detect repeated performance of a particular series of manually initiated computational actions. Based on this determination, the automated assistant can determine automated assistant computational action(s) that can be performed by the automated assistant in order to reduce latency in performing a procedure, reduce quantity and/or size of transmissions in performing the procedure, and/or reduce an amount of client device resources required for performing the procedure. Such actions can include communicating with an additional automated assistant that may be associated with another user and/or organization.

  • Patent number: 11704142
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a built-in training capability for a computer application associated with multiple operations. A control icon may be presented along with an image associated with the particular computer application. The control icon may list training tasks that are associated with the particular computer application or the particular image and train a user in performing a particular operation. Based upon a user interaction with the control icon, a training task may be implemented. The training task may comprise multiple steps or actions required to complete the task. The training task may cause a written description of each action and a training icon to be presented to the user. The training task may therefore assist the user in performing the operation associated with the training task.

  • Patent number: 11644966
    Abstract: Techniques for coordinating movements of various objects in an electronic document are disclosed. A first-type object remains stationary so that it becomes outside a content boundary of the electronic document, as the content boundary is pulled inside an edge of a window displaying the electronic document. A second-type object remains stationary until the content boundary reaches the edge of the window and then moves along with the scrolled electronic document as the content boundary is pulled inside the edge of the window. A third-type object and a fourth-type object may show different movement behaviors.

  • Patent number: 11640558
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an unbalanced sample classification method and an unbalanced sample classification apparatus. The method includes: obtaining unbalanced sample data; calculating a sample contribution rate based on the sample data and the characteristic data; filtering out a part of the sample data within a preset sample contribution threshold according to the sample contribution rate to determine as target sample data; and inputting the target sample data into a sample classification model to calculate a sample classification result through a classification algorithm. By using two variables of the characteristic value contribution rate and the characteristic contribution rate, the characteristics and samples with low contribution rate for classification are eliminated to effectively reducing the processing of unbalanced sample data, and a machine learning classification algorithm can be used on this basis to adopt the effective characteristics or samples to achieve efficient classification.

  • Patent number: 11625311
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for determining attention based on user interactions. While content is being presented by a client device, an attention determination system causes presentation of a prompt object on a display of the client device. The prompt object starts from an entry point and traverses a path across the display. While the prompt object is traversing the path across the display, the attention determination system detects a user input at a point on the display that is within a threshold distance of a current position of the prompt object along the path. The attention determination system determines an attention level of a user of the client device based on the user input.

  • Patent number: 11620338
    Abstract: Data on entities and how they are associated with other entities may be aggregated from multiple sources and reconciled. The aggregated data may be presented in a dashboard with a graphical user interface (GUI) that represents entities (e.g., nodes) and associations (e.g., edges) as distinguishable graphical elements that are individually selectable. Different nodes/edges may have distinct graphical representations that correspond with certain characteristics of the nodes/edges. The dashboard may include multiple dynamically-updated panes that may be populated with different information depending on a user's interaction with the GUI and/or depending on information received from various sources. A first entity's connection to or involvement in certain activities may be more readily understood by interactively examining not just the first entity's relationship with a second entity, but also the second entity's relationship with a third entity which is not directly related to the first entity.

  • Patent number: 11604556
    Abstract: In an example, a graphical user interface can be used to display a graphical representation of a virtual reference structure for an anatomic structure, the reference structure being determined from geometry of the anatomic structure. A location parameter along the reference structure is determined in response to a first user input from a user input device. A graphical proxy marker is displayed on the graphical representation of the reference structure based on the location parameter. A fixed location is selected along the reference structure for a final graphical marker in response to a second user input from the from the user input device. An output visualization is generated to include at least one view of the anatomic structure and a graphical representation of the final graphical marker at the fixed location.

  • Patent number: 11573695
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to transitioning a computing device between operating modes according to whether the computing device is suitably oriented for received non-audio related gestures. For instance, the user can attach a portable computing device to a docking station of a vehicle and, while in transit, wave their hand near the portable computing device in order to invoke the automated assistant. Such action by the user can be detected by a proximity sensor and/or any other device capable of determining a context of the portable computing device and/or an interest of the user in invoking the automated assistant. In some implementations location, orientation, and/or motion of the portable computing device can be detected and used in combination with an output of the proximity sensor to determine whether to invoke the automated assistant in response to an input gesture from the user.
