  • Patent number: 11886522
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and recommending electronic content to consumers. In accordance with an implementation, one or more elements of electronic content are identified based on video graph data. In an exemplary method, information associated with a first element of video content is received, and corresponding video graph data is obtained. One or more second elements of video content that are similar to the first element of video content are identified based on the obtained video graph data. A subset the first and second elements of video content is subsequently identified for delivery to the user.

  • Patent number: 11790933
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for displaying electronic multimedia content to a user. One computer-implemented method for manipulating electronic multimedia content includes generating, using a processor, a speech model and at least one speaker model of an individual speaker. The method further includes receiving electronic media content over a network; extracting an audio track from the electronic media content; and detecting speech segments within the electronic media content based on the speech model. The method further includes detecting a speaker segment within the electronic media content and calculating a probability of the detected speaker segment involving the individual speaker based on the at least one speaker model.

  • Patent number: 11495229
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for sending a first instruction for a device to output first content while the speech-processing device is in an ambient state during a first time period. First feedback data is received indicating that a first action associated with the first content was requested at a first time. A determination is made that the first time is during the first time period. Timing data related to a current time of the device is determined. Second content is determined based at least in part on the first action being requested during the first time period and the timing data. A second instruction is sent effective to cause the device to output second content while in the ambient state during a second time period.

  • Patent number: 11198088
    Abstract: The present utility model discloses an air-purifying apparatus. The air-purifying apparatus comprises a filter screen, filter screen type determining component, and filter screen service life determining component. The filter screen is for filtering particles and at least one of specific chemical matters in the air. The filter screen determining component is configured to determine a type of the filter screen. The filter screen service life determining component is configured to determine whether the filter screen needs to be changed according to the determined type of the filter screen and a use condition of the filter screen. With the air-purifying device of the present disclosure, remaining service lives of the filter screens of different types or specifications may be obtained, then a user may be prompted when the filter screen needs to be changed, thereby allowing the user to maintain a good air-purifying effect at any time.
