Publication number: 20250147999Abstract: The system obtains a record in a database and a property associated with the record in the database, where the record includes a large document, and where the large document is unstructured or semi-structured. The system receives an input indicating a type of analysis to perform associated with the record and performs, using an artificial intelligence, the analysis associated with the record to obtain an output. The type of analysis to obtain the output includes generating a document describing contents of the record, where the document describing the contents of the record is smaller than the record. The system stores the output as the property in the database and enables access to the database based on the property, thereby enabling an efficient understanding of contents of the document without consuming the document.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Linus Lee, He Lu, Lu Li

Patent number: 11868706Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for syncing content across workspace pages. The system creates a first synced block on a first workspace page. Content on workspace pages rendered by the system is stored in blocks and each of the workspace pages has a hierarchy of blocks. The system adds one or more child blocks to the first synced block as content to be synced. The system creates a reference synced block on a second workspace page and adds a pointer to the reference synced block that points to the first synced block. This is done in order to sync the one or more child blocks of the first synced block across the first and second workspace pages, where editing the first synced block or the reference synced block includes editing the one or more child blocks of the first synced block.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Notion Labs, Inc.Inventors: He Lu, Simon Townsend-Last

Patent number: 11627528Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method of multi-access edge computing task offloading based on D2D in IoV environment, which models a task offloading strategy, a transmission power and a channel resource allocation mode as a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, wherein an optimization problem is to maximize the sum of time delay and energy consumption benefits of all CUE in cellular communication with a base station in the IoV system. This method has low time complexity, may effectively utilize channel resources of the IoV system, and ensures the delay reliability of the DUE for which the local V2V data exchange is performed in the form of D2D communication. In the meantime, the time delay and energy consumption of CUE are both close to the minimum, thus meeting the IoV requirements of low time delay and high reliability.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: South China University of TechnologyInventors: Bin-jie Hu, Sheng-he Lu

Patent number: 11429345Abstract: Techniques for remotely executing a secondary-device driver for generating commands for a secondary device are described herein. For instance, a secondary device (or “appliance”) may reside within an environment, along with a device to which the secondary device communicatively couples. The device may be configured to send control signals to the secondary device for causing the secondary device to perform certain operations. For instance, a user in the environment may provide, to the device, a request that the secondary device perform a certain operation. The device, which may lack some or all of a device driver associated with the secondary device, may then work with a remote service that executes the device driver for the purpose of receiving a command from the device driver and sending the command along to the secondary device. Upon receiving the command, the secondary device may perform the operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rohan Mutagi, Michael Dale Whiteley, He Lu, Brian James Butler, Fred Torok, Willy Lew Yuk Vong, David Ross Bronaugh, Christopher Ryan Nies, Shikher Sitoke

Patent number: 11422772Abstract: Techniques for causing different devices to perform different operations using a single voice command are described herein. In some instances, a user may define a “scene”, in which a user sets different devices to different states and then associates an utterance with those states or with the operations performed by the devices to reach those states. For instance, a user may dim a light, turn on his television, and turn on his set-top box before sending a request to a local device or to a remote service to associate those settings with a predefined utterance, such as “my movie scene”. Thereafter, the user may cause the light to dim, the television to turn on, and the set-top box to turn on simply by issuing the voice command “execute my movie scene”.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rohan Mutagi, He Lu, Fred Torok, Willy Lew Yuk Vong, David Ross Bronaugh, Bo Li
