  • Patent number: 11829373
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting search results are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving text corresponding to a search query; determining whether a content rating score associated with the search query is below a predetermined threshold, wherein the score is calculated by: identifying a first plurality of search results retrieved using the search query, wherein each search result is associated with one of a plurality of content ratings classes; and calculating the content rating score that is a proportion of search results associated with at least one of the content ratings classes among the first plurality of search results; in response to determining that the content rating score is below the predetermined threshold, identifying a second plurality of search results to be presented based on the search query; and causing the second plurality of search results to be presented.

  • Patent number: 11049029
    Abstract: Implementations disclose identifying content appropriate for children algorithmically without human intervention. A method includes identifying, by a processing device, entities corresponding to topics relevant to children, determining, by the processing device, a children's affinity score for each of the identified entities, and selecting, by the processing device, content based on the children's affinity score for the identified entities corresponding to the content.

  • Patent number: 10671616
    Abstract: A method for selectively modifying scores of youth-oriented content search results is disclosed. The method includes identifying a plurality of search results, with each search result being associated with one of a plurality of scores. The method further includes selecting a subset of search results from the plurality of search results, and selecting a subset of scores within the plurality of scores that includes scores associated with the selected subset of search results. The method further includes modifying each score of the subset of scores with a query-dependent factor.

  • Patent number: 9723367
    Abstract: Implementations disclose identifying content appropriate for children. A method includes selecting a list of candidate channels from a plurality of channels based on an automatically generated rating of each of the plurality of channels, filtering the list of candidate channels based on feedback received from a first group of reviewers with respect to appropriateness of content of each candidate channel for children, selecting a list of candidate videos based on an automatically generated rating of each video from every channel in the filtered list of candidate channels, and upon receiving, via a graphical user interface, a confirmation that a candidate video from the list of candidate videos is appropriate for children, setting a confirmation indicator of the candidate video to enable presentation of the candidate video to children.

  • Patent number: 8639487
    Abstract: An automated system-on-chip (SOC) hardware and software cogeneration design flow allows an SOC designer, using a single source description for any platform-independent combination of reused or new IP blocks, to produce a configured hardware description language (HDL) description of the circuitry necessary to implement the SOC, while at the same time producing the development tools (e.g., compilers, assemblers, debuggers, simulator, software support libraries, reset sequences, etc.) used to generate the SOC software and the diagnostics environment used to verify the SOC.

  • Patent number: 8539399
    Abstract: A technique that improves both processor performance and associated data bandwidth through user-defined interfaces that can be added to a configurable and extensible microprocessor core. These interfaces can be used to communicate status or control information and to achieve synchronization between the processor and any external device including other processors. These interfaces can also be used to achieve data transfer at the rate of one data element per interface in every clock cycle. This technique makes it possible to design multiprocessor SOC systems with high-speed data transfer between processors without using the memory subsystem. Such a system and design methodology offers a complete shift from the standard bus-based architecture and allows designers to treat processors more like true computational units, so that designers can more effectively utilize programmable solutions rather than design dedicated hardware.
