Publication number: 20230343330Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide intelligent display of auditory world experiences. Specialized Al models are configured to display integrated visualizations for different aspects of the auditory signals that may be communicated during an event, such as a meeting, chat session, etc. For instance, a system can use a sentiment recognition model to identify specific characteristics of a speech input, such as volume or tone, provided by a participant. The system can also use a speech recognition model to identify keywords that can be used to distinguish portions of a transcript that are displayed. The system can also utilize an audio recognition model that is configured to analyze non-speech audio sounds for the purposes of identifying non-speech events. The system can then integrate the user interface attributes, distinguished portions of the transcript, and visual indicators describing the non-speech events.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2022Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Venkata Naga Vijaya Swetha MACHANAVAJHALA, Ryan Graham WILLIAMS, Sanghee OH, Ikuyo TSUNODA, William D.

Patent number: 11086515Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein that receives captured stroke information when a user enters a handwritten note using an input capture device. The technique then analyzes the captured stroke information to produce output analysis information. Based on the output analysis information, the technique modifies the captured stroke information into an actionable form that contains one or more actionable content items, while otherwise preserving the original form of the captured stroke information. The technique then presents the modified stroke information on a canvas display device. The user may subsequently activate one or more actionable content items in the modified stroke information to perform various supplemental tasks that pertain to the handwritten note. In one case, for example, the technique can recognize the presence of entity items and/or list items in the note and then reproduce them in an actionable form.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nicole Lee, Jan-Kristian Markiewicz, Sarah Graham Williams

Patent number: 10991239Abstract: In response to a detected presence of an intended target appliance within a logical topography of controllable appliances identity information associated with the intended target appliance is used to automatically add to a graphical user interface of a controlling device an icon representative of the intended target appliance and to create at a Universal Control Engine a listing of communication methods for use in controlling corresponding functional operations of the intended target appliance. When the icon is later activated, the controlling device is placed into an operating state appropriate for controlling functional operations of the intended target appliance while the Universal Control Engine uses at least one of the communication methods to transmit at least one command to place the intended target appliance into a predetermined operating state.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Universal Electronics Inc.Inventors: Paul D.

Patent number: 10579253Abstract: A canvas (e.g., a digital page or sheet of paper) on which a user can input data is displayed on a display device of a computing device in response to the canvas being invoked. The canvas can be invoked in different manners, such as by the user activating a switch or button at an “eraser” end of a stylus that mimics a pen/pencil configuration. The user can input any digital data such as notes, drawings, and so forth on the canvas that he or she desires. In response to the canvas being dismissed (e.g., by the user again activating a switch or button at an “eraser” end of a stylus that mimics a pen/pencil configuration), display of the canvas ceases. The digital data input by the user is saved or otherwise processed by the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Sarah Graham Williams, Catherine N.
