  • Patent number: 11861507
    Abstract: A computer-implemented content suggestion engine provides content suggestions to a requesting user based on information about content items that other users may have independently categorized or organized into folders within a content repository. Embodiments of the method comprise a content repository having a plurality of content items, where each content item is associated with one or more user-created folders. Embodiments further comprise receiving, via a network, a suggestion request for suggested content, where the suggestion request identifies a first content item for which suggestions are sought. Other content items in the content repository are then identified as potential suggestions based on the application of a formal relationship between the first content item and the potential suggested content items. One or more of the potential suggested content items may then be provided in response to the suggestion request via the network.

  • Publication number: 20230325460
    Abstract: Methods of generating websites using any combination of remotely and locally stored content are contemplated. Content is procured by a user on a client computer, and a request to add that content to a source folder is sent to a server. The server adds the content to the source folder, where it is made available for website creation. When a client requests creation of a website using the contents of a source folder, the server then generates that website. In some embodiments, the website can be generated according to a user-selected theme or a default theme.

  • Patent number: 11583747
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems, and methods for implementing drills and providing coaching instructions to users. Embodiments may load a drill, measure values obtained from one or more sensors installed on a player's tennis racket and/or worn on the player's body, and use those values to detect various parameters, such as the physical impact of a ball at the player's racket. Embodiments may then output a coaching instruction to the user. Embodiments may also include adding customized coaching instructions to a drill.

  • Patent number: 11361859
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems, and methods for measuring values obtained from one or more sensors installed on a player's tennis racket and/or worn on the player's body, and using those values to calculate various parameters, such as the physical position and motion of the tennis racket. Embodiments may translate the parameters and derive one or more occurrences corresponding to phases of a tennis point or drill and then generate real-time audible, visual, and/or haptic coaching prompts and other related commands and signals, for the purpose of improving a player's motor skills. Embodiments may also send and receive messages to/from other embodiments, thereby permitting a player to interact with other players, coaches, or devices, such as ball machines and cameras.

  • Patent number: 11314757
    Abstract: When a user conducts a search for content using one or more of the many search engines known in the art, embodiments of the present invention may receive results returned to the user's browser by the search engine, and may then proceed to filter, organize, modify, or enhance those results and/or their presentation by performing various editing and/or presentation operations on the search results, based on information relating to the user's prior interactions with the search results and the user's interests and preferences. Search results may also be modulated based on information about the way other users have responded to or interacted with each of the search results in the past.

  • Publication number: 20210397670
    Abstract: A computer-implemented suggestion engine suggests documents to a requesting user based on keywords in the documents and document metadata. The keywords may also be presented to the user, with each keyword associated with a visual indicator indicating the importance of the keyword relative to the other keywords. The user can manipulate the visual indicator for a keyword to adjust the relative importance of the keyword and the system will accordingly revise the documents suggested to the user.

  • Publication number: 20210109984
    Abstract: A computer-implemented suggestion engine suggests documents to a requesting user based on significant words in the documents and document metadata. Embodiments determine dictionaries for each document in a content repository as well as one or more documents comprising a basis data set. Embodiments then query the content repository with significant n-grams from the basis data set's dictionary. Embodiments return one or more documents with matching n-grams as a result set, and then filter the result set before providing one or more documents from the result set to the user. Embodiments can also suggest documents based on inferred document metadata. For example, embodiments can infer geographic location information about a document based on metadata associated with the document's neighbors (e.g., other documents saved in the same user folder). Embodiments can use the inferred information to suggest geographically relevant documents to the user.
