  • Publication number: 20240153219
    Abstract: A computer system displays a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras, including a representation of a portion of a three-dimensional physical environment that is in the field of view of the one or more cameras. The computer system receives a request to add a first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to receiving the request to add the first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras and in accordance with a determination that the first virtual effect requires a scan of the physical environment, the computer system initiates a scan of the physical environment to detect one or more features of the physical environment and displays a user interface that indicates a progress of the scan of the physical environment.

  • Patent number: 11880382
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating tables from print-ready digital source documents. A document is received and one or more text fragments are identified on a rendered page of the document. A wrapping region collection is generated, comprising one or more wrapping regions. A tabular, narrative and label score is generated for each wrapping region. A block type is assigned to each wrapping region based on the scores. A wrapping region group and a block set are generated. One or more tables are generated based on text fragments corresponding to one of the one or more blocks. The text fragments are organized into corresponding fields of the one or more tables.

  • Publication number: 20230214586
    Abstract: Described are methods for automatically extracting data from structured documents e.g. spreadsheets, regardless of the manner in which data is organized, and using the extracted data to generate an output table that is in a standardized format. The method can include the operations for automatically extracting data from a spreadsheet that defines rows and columns and includes a plurality of cells that are delineated by the rows and the columns, by identifying characteristics of data included in each cell of the column, determining a template type of the column based on the characteristics of the data in each selected cell of the column, and determining, from among a plurality of cells of the column and based on characteristics of the data included in the plurality of cells of the column, a representative cell that is representative of the determined template type of the column.

  • Publication number: 20210217040
    Abstract: A system obtains and/or receives input data that tags/mentions an entity from a social media platform. The system transforms the input data for a reward analysis, including parsing a payload from the social media platform to extract a social media user name, the tag, the mention, or a combination thereof, mapping the social media user name to a reward program participant having addressable user information, and populating a plurality of database tables with media objects and media metadata from the social media platform and a mapping between the social media user name and the reward program participant. The system analyzes the plurality of database tables against trigger points defined in a reward structure associated with the entity and determines whether the reward program participant is eligible for a reward. If so, the system automatically delivers the reward to the reward program participant using the addressable user information.
