Patent number: 11496286Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable data associated with a large plurality of users to be analyzed without compromising the privacy of the user data. In one embodiment, a user can opt-in to allow analysis of clear text of the user's emails. An analysis process can then be performed in which an analysis service receives clear text of an email of a client device; processes the clear text of the email into one or more tokens having one or more tags; enriches one or more tokens in the processed email using data associated with a user of the client device and the one or more tags; and processes the clear text and one or more enriched tokens to generate a data set of one or more feature vectors.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: William T. Duffy, Andrew H. Vyrros, Yannis Minadakis, Andrew R. Byde, Giulia Pagallo

Patent number: 11170166Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example process, one or more input words can be received. The process can extract, based on the one or more input words, seed data for unsupervised training of a first learning network. Training data that includes a collection of words having typographical errors for the first learning network can be obtained. The process can determine, using the first learning network and based on the seed data and the training data, one or more output words having a probability distribution corresponding to a probability distribution of the training data. The one or more output words can include typographical errors. The process can generate, based on the determined one or more output words, a data set for supervised training of a second learning network. The second learning network can provide one or more typographical error suggestions.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jerome R.

Publication number: 20070033172Abstract: The present invention provides a search capability to allow a user to easily locate a menu command or other user interface element associated with a search result. In one embodiment, a user enters a search term (or a portion thereof) in a search field. A list of results is displayed, for example in a results menu. The user can select or highlight any of the listed results; in response, the corresponding command is brought into view in context within the user interface, and is highlighted. The user can activate the selected command directly from the search results menu.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2006Publication date: February 8, 2007Inventors: Joshua Williams, Tristan Harris, Patrick Coffman, Giulia Pagallo, Christina Warren, Steve Ko, Celia Vigil

Patent number: 5633955Abstract: An apparatus for recognizing shapes characterized by a stroke grouper receptive to a plurality of strokes formed on a screen of a pen-based computer system; a shape recognition engine receptive to a stroke group produced by the stroke grouper; and a knowledge base coupled to the shape recognition engine, where the knowledge base includes, at a minimum, knowledge concerning closed polygons and closed curves. Preferably, the closed curves of the knowledge base include both circles and ellipses. A method for recognizing digitized shapes in a computer system includes the steps of receiving at least one user-initiated stroke; grouping the user-initiated stroke with related strokes to form a stroke group; and analyzing the stroke group to make a best-guess shape represented by the stroke group. Preferably, the method also looks for other shapes which are related to the best-guess shape and modifying at least one of the location, size, or shape of the best-guess shape to conform with the other shapes.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 1995Date of Patent: May 27, 1997Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Radmilo Bozinovic, Giulia Pagallo

Patent number: 5627914Abstract: A method for processing equations in a graphical computer system characterized by the steps of: receiving at least one unit comprising an equation which was derived from a graphical user input device; parsing the units into a parsed tree utilizing a constrained attribute grammar; and deriving a result of the equation utilizing the parsed tree. Preferably, the graphical user input device is a table or the screen of a pen-based computer system, where stroke units derived from strokes made by a stylus on the screen are passed to at least one recognition domain. The process preferably also includes the steps of: receiving at least one stroke unit comprising an edit to an equation on the screen; determining whether the edit changes the structure of the parsed tree of the equation; and editing the parsed tree if the edit does not change the structure of the parsed tree.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: May 6, 1997Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventor: Giulia Pagallo

Patent number: 5596350Abstract: A pen-based system for reflowing handwritten ink objects is disclosed. The system divides the ink objects into paragraphs by identifying groups of ink objects separated from other groups by predefined distances. Each such paragraph is classified as either a graphics paragraph or a text paragraph; graphics paragraphs are formatted according to a graphics formatting protocol and text paragraphs are formatted according to a text formatting protocol. In addition, the system writes formatted paragraphs to destinations where they are displayed. The destination may be a screen on which the ink objects were originally written by a user and/or a printed page, a computer monitor, etc.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1995Date of Patent: January 21, 1997Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Stephen P.

Patent number: 5592566Abstract: A recognition system for a pen-based computer system characterized by: a tablet for inputting strokes from a stylus; a low-level recognizer responsive to the strokes and operative to perform low-level recognition on the strokes; a high-level recognizer responsive to at least some of the strokes and operative to perform high-level recognition on those strokes; and a recognition interface permitting communication between the recognizers and an application program. The high-level recognizer includes a controller capable of receiving units to be recognized; a number of recognition domains coupled to the controller, where each of the recognition domains can receive one or more units from the controller and is capable of providing an interpretation of the meaning of the one or more units to the controller; and an arbiter coupled to the controller which is capable of resolving conflicts between multiple interpretations developed by the recognition domains.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1995Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: Apple Computer, IncorporatedInventors: Giulia Pagallo, Ernest H.
