Abstract: This disclosure describes a system that delivers content (e.g. multimedia video), and analyzes and aggregates feedback of a user viewing the content. The user may interact with the multimedia video in the form of answering questions which are dynamically placed between video segments. The system may determine the response type of the user for a given question. The system may handle both positive and negative responses (e.g. correct and incorrect responses to questions). The system may help the user navigate the segments of the video.

Abstract: Improved techniques are provided for processing streams of data. The duration of the time that an event is eligible for remaining in a time-based window can be variable for different events received via the same event stream. In certain embodiments, the duration of time that an input event spends in a time-based window is a function of one or more values of one or more attributes of the event. Since different events can have different one or more attribute values, the different events can spend different amounts of time in the time-based window for that event stream. The amount of time that an event spends in a time-based window can be controlled via the one or more attributes of the event.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system that effectuates presentation of video content based on complexity of video content segments therein. The system may analyze the video content using semantic ontology to identify semantic concepts; segment the video content into one or more video content segments based on identified semantic concepts, determine the complexity measure of the one or more video content segments based on a weightage of the identified semantic concepts, present the one or more video content segments based on the complexity measure, and present a visualization of the measure of the complexity.

Abstract: An online conferencing system that provides fine-grained control over recording of the online conference. A participant manager component detects current participants in an online conference. A video gathering component gathers video streams for each of at least some of the current participants in the online conference. A triggering component allows one or more of the participants to trigger operation of a recording component. The recording component identifies one or more of the gather video streams to record, and records the identified one or more video streams. The recording component may have fine-grained control over the recording process. If a participant joins the conference, that video from the new participant may be automatically recorded also. If a participant leaves a conference, the recording of that video may be stopped.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (10) for use in improving a user interaction with a user interface application. It is described to provide (210) data for a user, the data comprising interaction data of the user with a plurality of interaction fields of a first version of a user interface application. The interaction data is clustered (220) into a plurality of groups. The interaction data is analysed (230) to determine the contribution a specific user interaction field of the plurality of interaction fields makes to a specific group of the plurality of groups. The specific user interaction field is modified (240) on the basis of the determined contribution the specific user interaction field makes. A second version of the user interface application is displayed (250) comprising the modified specific user interaction field.

Abstract: Online conferencing involving video and audio in which automatic actions such as recording and broadcasting is performed by adding a visualized representation of the action into the online conference area of a user interface. The action appears as a visualization in the contacts portion of the user interface, some of which contacts may represent individuals that may be joined into a conference. Recording or broadcasting the action may thus be efficiently performed in a consistent manner as how individuals are added into an online conference, thereby taking advantage of muscle memory of the participant.

Abstract: Techniques for managing continuous queries with archived relations are provided. In some examples, a query that includes at least a data stream may be identified. Additionally, the query may be initialized with at least a portion of historical data. Further, in some instances, the query may be evaluated based at least in part on the data stream and the portion of the historical data.

Abstract: A continuous event processing (CEP) query processor determines how and when a CEP query can be processed in a concurrent manner, such that multiple threads of execution can concurrently perform at least some of the CEP query's operations concurrently with each other. According to one technique, a user can instruct a CEP query processor to attempt to execute a CEP query in a concurrent manner. The CEP query processor responsively determines whether the CEP query's execution, or parts thereof, can be made concurrent based on certain constraints that can depend on inheritance and operation type. Based on this determination, the CEP query processor can execute at least certain parts of a CEP query in parallel relative to the same event within an event stream.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing cooking recipes among multiple cooking appliances and multiple users are disclosed. Translating one recipe work flow, designed for a specific cooking device into another work flow process designed for a second, dissimilar cooking device typically requires significant manual analysis, especially considering the multitudes of cooking devices available. Embodiments of the present invention accomplish recipe sharing among multiple dissimilar cooking appliances by performing a number of steps, including but not limited to determining the functional capabilities of a second networked cooking appliance or device, adapting a recipe designed for a first networked cooking device to the second cooking device, and then sharing the adapted recipe with the second cooking device. The adapted recipe may also be converted to a textual, audio or video work flow process for use by a cooking appliance user.

Abstract: Techniques for managing continuous queries that include subqueries are provided. In some examples, a continuous query that includes at least a subquery may be identified.
