Patent number: 11086474Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a local scene recreation of an augmented reality meeting space to a mobile device, laptop computer, or other computing device. By decoupling the augmented reality meeting space from virtual reality headsets, the user-base expands to include users that could otherwise not participate in the collaborative augmented reality meeting spaces. Users participating on mobile devices and laptops may choose between multiple modes of interaction including an auto-switch view and manual views as well as interacting with the augmented reality meeting space by installing an augmented reality toolkit. Users may deploy and interact with various forms of avatars representing other users in the augmented reality meeting space.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: SPATIAL SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Jinha Lee, Anand Agarawala, Peter Ng, Tyler Hatch

Patent number: 10908769Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for displaying a three-dimensional representation of a media source in an augmented reality meeting space. The augmented reality meeting space receives structured data from the media source, for example, via an RSS feed, and translates the structured data into a three-dimensional representation using an application adapter. The application adapter can be enhanced by including additional information about the structure of the data that is specific to the media source. Users can view, manipulate, and otherwise interact the three-dimensional representation within a shared, collaborative, augmented reality meeting space.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: SPATIAL SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Anand Agarawala, Jinha Lee, Peter Ng, Mischa Fierer, Elliot Pjecha

Patent number: 10838574Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for saving and loading workspaces in augmented reality (AR) environments. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of an AR meeting space to open in a current physical location, wherein AR meeting space was previously configured for a remote physical location different from the current physical location. A selection of an AR meeting space to open in a current physical location is received. An arrangement of one or more digital objects of the selected AR meeting space is determined. A current anchor area within the current physical location that corresponds to a remote anchor area of the remote physical location is identified. The arrangement of the one or more digital objects of the AR meeting space is modified in the current physical location based on an alignment of the current anchor area with the remote anchor area.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: SPATIAL SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Anand Agarawala, Jinha Lee, Peter Ng, Roman Revzin

Publication number: 20190354542Abstract: A system and method for generating activity summaries for users. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. Once enough data is received and processed, the data is analyzes and segmented to determine and create an activity summary or story. Content is selected. The selection of the content includes selection of content items, such as multimedia items, e.g. pictures and videos. Secondary information, such as user activity information or location information is analyzed. A story is generated based on the selected content, including the selected content. The story is represented by a display of the selected media and other information associated with the media.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Joseph Robert Smarr, Anand Agarawala, Brett Rolston Lider, Benjamin David Eidelson

Patent number: 10025450Abstract: A system and method for generating activity summaries to users of a social network server is disclosed. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. The user activity information is then categorized by a categorization module, which in some implementations, also groups the categorized user activity information in accordance with commonalities identified among the user activity information. The categorized user activity information is ranked according to relevance to the user by the ranking module or according to relevance to the user's contacts. An output generation module 308 determines when the groupings are complete. Activity summaries are then generated by the output generation module. The activity summary includes the categorized user activity information. The activity summary is sent for display on a user device of a user.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2013Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Brett Rolston Lider, Joseph Robert Smarr, David Glazer, Kenneth Norton, Anand Agarawala
