  • Patent number: 10915747
    Abstract: A computing device receives a request to render a listing of item entries on a graphical user interface. The computing device receives an electronic image of the document, analyzes the electronic image, and determines a document type by performing an image recognition on a first portion the electronic image, comparing information extrapolated via the image recognition algorithm to a database of document types, and identifying a match between the extrapolated information a document type. The computing device applies an OCR algorithm that corresponds to the determined document type to a second portion of the electronic image, and identifies items extracted from the second portion.

  • Patent number: 10789285
    Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, to systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features and improved user interfaces. For instance, a smart search may be provided, e.g., where search results vary based on the popularity of songs within the venue, in dependence on songs being promoted, etc. As another example, a tile-based approach to organizing groupings of songs is provided. Groupings may involve self-populating collections of songs that combine centrally-promoted songs, songs in a given genre that are popular across an audiovisual distribution network, and songs that are locally popular and match up with the given genre (e.g., because of shared attributes such as same or similar genre, artist, etc.). Different tile visual presentations also are contemplated, as are different physical jukebox designs. In certain example embodiments, a sealed core unit with the “brains” of the jukebox is insertable into a docking station.

  • Patent number: 10713625
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a source application part may be established having a source data object with a set of source attribute identifiers and associated source attribute values. A target application part may also be established having a target data object with a set of target attribute identifiers. An object reuse platform may then receive, from a user via a graphical interface, an indication that the source data object relates to the target data object. The object reuse platform may then calculate, for each source attribute identifier, a probability that the source attribute identifier is associated with one of the target attribute identifiers.
