  • Publication number: 20200175579
    Abstract: A user trainable user interface page classification system applies a rule set to information associated with a user interface page to determine whether the user interface page satisfies a domain page condition. If the user interface page does not satisfy the domain page condition, a user trains the system such that the user interface page classification system classifies the user interface page as a domain page. The rule set of the user interface page classification system is updated, and the updated rule set is applied to the information associated with the user interface page. The user interface page classification system then classifies the user interface page as a domain page.

  • Publication number: 20170153905
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for organizing information pertaining to entity quests in which a user is engaged in an easily retrievable and viewable manner. An active digital memory assistant on a user computing device may automatically detect and organize activity, taken by a particular user and centered on a single user intent, into an entity list. Information comprising a relevant entity list may be proactively surfaced to the user when the user is performing a task for which a related entity list exists. Alternatively, the user may manually invoke the active digital memory assistant (e.g., via selection of an appropriate icon or tile on the user's desktop) to show his or her entity related activity in the form of content previously extracted and actions previously taken.

  • Publication number: 20140122291
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for providing a vendor-independent item list to a computer user are presented. A vendor-independent item list is provided in which a plurality of computer users each have a corresponding item list upon which a computer user can add entries for various items offered by vendors. Upon receiving a user-initiated indication that the user would potentially like to add one or more items from a currently-viewed web page, a process identifies item information from the web page and presents the item information (including information for at least one item) to the computer user. Upon receiving a selection from the computer user of a presented item, an entry for that selected item is added to the computer user's item list. The computer user and one or more vendors can interact with offers and counter-offers.
