  • Patent number: 11307746
    Abstract: A method includes displaying an image on a first area of a touch-sensitive electronic display and receiving touch input on a second area of the display, comprising the first area. A gesture type is detected from the touch input by detecting a larger component of motion of the touch input along one of first and second axes of the display than along the other of the axes. Detecting a second gesture type comprises detecting a larger component of motion of the touch input along the other of the axes than along the one of the axes. If the gesture type is the first gesture type, a display characteristic of the image is adjusted, during displaying the image. If the gesture type is the second gesture type, the display ceases to display the image and displays a further image. A computing system is provided.

  • Patent number: 11276127
    Abstract: A system and method for recommending matches between persons are provided. Data processing is performed using artificial intelligence technology. A supervised machine learning engine is trained from empirical data about existing relationships which have been evaluated as to quality of the relationships. Quality of candidate relationships is calculated as an output of the supervised machine learning engine when provided input data of attributes of two candidate persons. Likelihood of a successful relationship between two candidate persons is predicted by comparing the calculated quality of the candidate relationship against a threshold. The prediction in this learning task may be made by a neural network. A user is notified of a candidate match that is likely to become a successful relationship.

  • Patent number: 11262835
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for selecting an Augmented Reality (AR) object on a head mounted device (HMD) are presented. In some embodiments, an HMD may define a Region-of-Interest (ROI) based on a gesture formed by at least one hand of a user. Subsequently the HMD may display to the user a shape on the HMD. In at least one arrangement, the shape outlines the ROI. Additionally, the HMD may display to the user a plurality of AR objects, each of the plurality of AR objects being associated with a target inside the ROI. Furthermore, the HMD may reduce the size of the ROI based on a first movement of the at least one hand of the user to form a reduced-sized ROI. In at least one arrangement, the reduced-sized ROI is used to select a specific AR object from the plurality of AR objects.

  • Patent number: 11256387
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a multi-platform omni-channel content creation and distribution system. The system includes a multi-platform media content data and logic structure, a user interface logic section configured to interface with a user and the multi-platform media content data and logic structure, and a multi-sectional view configured to be shown on a display. The multi-sectional view includes a metadata section in a first section thereof and a simulated true-to-life preview section in a second section thereof. The user interface logic section receives metadata information from the user. The metadata section displays the metadata information. The multi-platform media content data and logic structure causes the simulated true-to-life preview section to show a piece of content with exact proportional dimensions and appearance as it would appear under actual non-simulated real-world circumstances for a particular media platform and associated physical device.
