  • Patent number: 11954402
    Abstract: A multimedia system records audio segments and allows speakers and other users to select recorded audio segments as “Loved” or “Kept” for selective later playback in a timed sequence in association with corresponding images. A concept of telerecording is that one can call their relative in another country and ask them to explain what's going on in a picture. This way we can record their voices without having to travel to wherever they live.

  • Patent number: 11949761
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for efficient generation and maintenance of interface components in an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) environment. A system may receive a request to display a dashboard of components. A declarative metadata set of components is generated and a multi-use agent to parse the declarative metadata set. The multi-use agent may be replicated according to the parsed declarative definition in order to create multiple instances of the multi-use agent corresponding to the one or more determined interface components. The multiple instances of the multi-use agent may then generate and maintain the interface components in real-time. Component generation may be distributed among systems to prevent excessive data transfers and wasteful communications.

  • Patent number: 11941227
    Abstract: The technical problem of reducing the amount of processing involved when searching for customizable media content items that are suitable for incorporating input text is addressed by providing a hybrid search system. In some examples, the hybrid search system executes a rough search first, to determine whether a line of text can be incorporated into a media content item, based on character count conditions associated with the media content item. A more thorough evaluation of the input text with respect to the media content item is executed subsequent to the rough search if the rough search produces a result indicating uncertainty with respect to whether the combination of specific characters included in the input text can or cannot be incorporated into the media content item.

  • Patent number: 11921979
    Abstract: A computer system concurrently displays a plurality of panes in a user interface. The panes include a first pane that displays a flow diagram having one or more nodes. Each node contains one or more icons. Each icon represents a respective data transformation operation. The panes include a second pane that displays a plurality of data rows and/or data columns for an intermediate dataset corresponding to a user-selected node. The computer system receives a user input, in the first pane, to perform a first data transformation operation at a selected node. In response to receiving the user input, the computer system performs the first data transformation operation. The computer system displays, in the first pane, an additional icon corresponding to the first data transformation operation at the selected node. The computer system updates the second pane in accordance with the first data transformation operation.

  • Patent number: 11860602
    Abstract: A system is provided for programming workpiece feature inspection operations for a coordinate measuring machine. The system includes a user interface with a simulation portion (e.g., including a 3D view of a workpiece) and an editing user interface portion (e.g., including an editable plan representation of a current workpiece feature inspection plan). Transparency operations are performed including automatically identifying as a target feature a workpiece feature in the 3D view that corresponds to a workpiece feature or inspection operation representation in the editable plan representation that is indicated by a current feature-directed operation (e.g., a selection operation for selecting a workpiece feature or inspection operation in the editable plan representation). An occluding workpiece feature that would otherwise be occluding at least a portion of the target feature in the 3D view is then automatically rendered as at least partially transparent in the 3D view.

  • Patent number: 11853539
    Abstract: Visualizable data (Din) are obtained that represent a scene (S) with at least one object (110, 120, 130). The visualizable data (Din) describe the scene (S) as seen from a position (P). First and second measures (L1; L2) are determined, which represent extensions of one of the objects (110) in a smallest and a largest dimension respectively. An object aspect ratio (R) is calculated that represents a relationship between the first and second measures (L1; L2). Based on the object aspect ratio (R), a selection margin (M) is assigned to the object (110). The selection margin designates a zone outside of the object (110) within which zone the object (110) is validly selectable for manipulation in addition to an area (A11) of the object (110) shown towards a view (V) thereof as seen from the position (P). Thus, it is made easier to manipulatable the visualizable data (Din) in response to user input, for instance in the form of gaze-based selection commands.

  • Patent number: 11755282
    Abstract: A graphical user interface of control software hosted by an audio interface device enables an operator to match a particular monitor mix with the input signals that contribute to the mix. The audio interface device receives live and non-live inputs and generates a plurality of monitor mixes. Using the graphical user interface, the operator selects a monitor mix to which a distinguishing graphical feature is assigned. In response, a graphical representation of faders representing the live and non-live inputs to the selected monitor mix automatically redisplays the faders with the distinguishing graphical feature and at an attenuation level corresponding to each input's contribution to the selected output mix. The distinguishing feature may be a color or a shading. The user interface may be used in the context of a studio recording session as well as in live performance settings.

  • Patent number: 11711406
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing dynamic and interactive content in an online chat session. When it is determined that an online chat session is established between two devices, an interactive chat engine may begin monitoring chat messages exchanged between the devices to derive a context for the online chat session. A particular workflow from multiple workflows may be selected and initiated for the online chat session based on the derived context. The interactive chat engine may generate a chat object for presenting dynamic and interactive content to the user related to the workflow within the online chat session. The chat object may be inserted into the chat flow of the online chat session. Once inserted the chat object may generate and subsequently modify presentations for the devices participating in the online chat session.
