  • Publication number: 20230290500
    Abstract: A method for information overweight detection and intervention is described. The method includes training a statistical model to classify salient information that may be overweight by individuals to provide a trained statistical model. The method also includes collecting data from a user about the salient information experienced by the user or to which the user is exposed. The method further includes analyzing the salient information using the trained statistical model to identify and classify the salient information that the user may overweight to identify overweight information. The method also includes presenting one or more interventions to the user to prevent the user from overweighting the identified overweight information.

  • Patent number: 11328178
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of associating an annotation with an object in an image, comprising generating a dictionary including first vectors that associate terms of the annotation with concepts, classifying the image to generate a second vector based on classified objects and associated confidence scores for the classified objects, selecting a term of the terms associated with one of the first vectors having a shortest determined distance to the second vector, identifying a non-salient region of the image, and rendering the annotation associated with the selected term at the non-salient region.

  • Patent number: 11231942
    Abstract: Users are enabled to define and modify mappings between (1) gestures and (2) actions performed by one or more computing devices in response to a device detecting performance of a gesture. A generalized gesture-to-action mapping framework allows users to intuitively define and modify such mappings. In response to a device detecting the performance of a particular gesture, one or more devices may cause the execution of one or more device actions based on a set of user-defined gesture-to-action mappings.

  • Patent number: 11216666
    Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods for anomaly detection through using a segmentation process and an object detection process on images received through a camera system. The segmentation process and object detection process are then matched to detected additive anomalies (e.g., objects added to the environment) and subtractive anomalies (e.g., objects missing from the environment). Based on the type of anomaly detected as well as the underlying object, notifications can be dispatched to the user of the environment or the administrator of the system.

  • Patent number: 11093839
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of grouping media objects is provided, as well as systems, interfaces and devices therefor. The method includes generating a group from the media objects based on a combination of a script of sequential events and an actor associated with one or more of the media objects in the script, segmenting the group into segments each including one or more of the media objects, based on clustering or classification, providing titling and captioning for the segments, and generating filter and annotation recommendations based on knowledge associations in the media objects, data, and the combination of the script and the actor, across the media objects of the group.

  • Patent number: 10810466
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of associating a non-electronic map with an electronic map is provided. The method comprises, for an obtained online data collection, generating a database of style-invariant and location-variant map representations by application of a convolutional neural network. Additionally, for a captured image associated with the non-electronic map, the captured image not having geo-location metadata, the method comprises applying a nearest neighbor heuristic to compare the captured image to the map representations and generate a match between the captured image and the map representations, and performing a display action associated with the match.

  • Patent number: 10652311
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods automatically determine media content to communicate to a user based on the user's location. The disclosed systems and methods enable novel media content distribution to a user based on 1) the location of the user (i.e., physical location or geo-location), 2) other users' classified relationships to the location; and 3) user generated media content by the classified other users.

  • Patent number: 10609183
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for providing content sharing recommendations are provided. For example, signals, associated with a user (e.g., a location of the user, an event occurring near the user, an activity being performed by the user, content of a message recently received by the user or being composed by the user, etc.), are evaluated to identify a context associated with the user (e.g., the user may be composing a social network post about a basketball game that the user is attending). The context is applied to content (e.g., photos, videos, documents, webpages, etc.), available to the user, to create contextualized content indicative of how appropriate or relevant such content is given the context (e.g., a basketball game photo may be more relevant than a work document). A content sharing recommendation of contextualized content may be provided to the user.
