Publication number: 20240078768Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to learning and recognizing object-centered routines. Particularly, object-centered routines can be learned and recognized by collecting data corresponding to a user. The data can include information representing interactions by the user with respect to objects in an environment. The routine can be learned by presenting a visual graph to the user. The user can define nodes associating an interaction with an object, specify a relationship between nodes, and arrange the nodes into segments. The visual graph can be stored, and a routine can be recognized based on the visual graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Karthik Mahadevan, Lucas Furukawa Gadani, Tanya Renee Jonker, Ting Zhang, Frances Cin-Yee Lai, Anna Camilla Martinez, Ruta Parimal Desai, Yan Xu
