  • Publication number: 20240104239
    Abstract: There is provided a method of dynamic adaptation of a graphical user interface for exploring sensitive data, comprising: dynamically creating a hidden data presentation by applying permissions to a dataset, for hiding records, obtaining a selection of a target variable via the GUI presenting the hidden data presentation, feeding the dataset and the target variable into a hypothesis engine that extracts hypothesis features from the dataset, tests correlations between the hypothesis features and the target variable, and selects a set of insight features from the hypothesis features according to the correlations, dynamically creating a hidden result presentation by propagating the permission to the portions of the dataset used to compute the insight features, and presenting within the GUI the hidden result presentation that presents the insight features and hides the portions of the dataset used to compute the insight features according to the permissions.

  • Patent number: 11941344
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to displaying a version of a content item and an indication of differences between that version and another version of the content item. For example, a content management system can iterate through portions of a first version of a content item and attempt to match those portions with portions of a second version of the content item. The content management system can analyze these matches to determine differences between the respective portions and to classify and categorize the differences (e.g., do they represent a significant change or do they change the meaning of the content item). A client device can then represent a clean version of the content item in a first application and the differences and characteristics in a second application in coordination with the first application.

  • Patent number: 8938124
    Abstract: A system and method for computer vision based tracking of a hand may include receiving a sequence of images, the images including at least one object having a shape of a hand. A first selected feature is tracked from within the hand shaped object. Shape recognition algorithms are applied at a suspected location of the hand shaped object in an image from the sequence of images to detect a shape of a hand in the image and a second feature from within the detected shape of the hand is then selected and tracked, thereby providing verification and updating of the location of the hand shaped object.

  • Publication number: 20140139429
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for computer vision based hand gesture device control, which includes receiving 2D and 3D image information of a field of view which includes at least one user. An area of the user's hand is determined based on the 3D information and a shape of the user's hand is determined based on the 2D information. The detected shape of the hand and the position of the hand are then used to control a device.

  • Publication number: 20140118244
    Abstract: In the invention two consecutive movement paths are detected and displayed content may be manipulated based on the detection of the first movement path of the hand but once a first movement and a second movement path are detected manipulation of the displayed content by the second movement is prevented. Thus, detection of a pair of movement paths prevents unintentional activation of a device.
