Publication number: 20250044912Abstract: Systems and methods for object-based content recommendation are described. A camera feed comprising a plurality of image frames is caused to be displayed at a client device. An object is detected within an image frame from the camera feed, the object corresponding with an object category. Responsive to detecting the object, an icon associated with the object category is selected and displayed at a position upon the camera feed. The icon corresponds with a media collection related to the object category. An input is received selecting the icon. Responsive to the input, a presentation of media items from the media collection is displayed at the client device. By detecting real-world objects and surfacing relevant virtual icons that link to associated media, an augmented reality experience is provided allowing virtual content to be overlaid and anchored to objects in reality.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Shubham Chawla, Hyojung Chun, Anvi Dalal, Yunchu He, Hao Hu, Sarah Lensing, Yanjia Li, Ana Medinac, Bindi Patel, Patrick Poirson, Chiung-Fu Shih, Jeremy Staub, Kevin Dechau Tang, Ryan Tran, Andrew Wan, Cindy Wang, Alireza Zareian

Publication number: 20240372737Abstract: Implementing methods to provide a shortened textual summary that includes status information that is most pertinent to the user for a plurality of connected smart devices. The method includes determining a list of current statuses for a plurality of enabled smart devices and filtering the list to remove statuses that may not be of interest to the user. The filtering of the list is based on a current context of the requesting user and one or more previous contexts of the user. The resulting filtered statuses are then converted to textual snippets, summarized, and provided to the user via one or more output devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Yuzhao Ni, Ashwin Limaye, Cindy Tran, Thomas Clifton, David Roy Schairer

Publication number: 20220156040Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tailoring composite graphical assistant interfaces for interacting with multiple different connected devices. The composite graphical assistant interfaces can be generated in response to a user providing a request for an automated assistant to cause a connected device to perform a particular function. In response to the automated assistant receiving the request, the automated assistant can identify other functions that the connected device is capable of performing. The other functions can then be mapped to various graphical control elements in order to provide a composite graphical assistant interface from which the user can interact with the connected device. Each graphical control element can be arranged according to a status of the connected device, in order to reflect how the connected device is operating simultaneous to the presentation of the composite graphical assistant interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: David Roy Schairer, Triona Butler, Cindy Tran, Mark Spates, IV, Di Lin, Yuzhao Ni, Lisa Williams

Patent number: 7946017Abstract: A temporary checking device is provided that works in conjunction with elements of a vehicle hinge that remain in the vehicle's final configuration. The hinge includes a hinge pin rotatably connecting a door hinge bracket to a pillar hinge bracket. The checking device includes a spring portion that is disposed between the door hinge bracket and the pillar hinge bracket. The spring portion is compressed during movement of the door hinge bracket relative to the pillar hinge bracket from either of two rest positions. The spring portion urges the vehicle door affixed thereto back into one of the rest positions, thus allowing manufacturing operations such as painting, etc., to be performed on the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2010Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co, Ltd.Inventors: Mark Brown, Marc Iman, Cindy Tran, James Ritchie, Takahiro Ohno, Takashi Ogawa, Takeshi Ishikawa
