  • Publication number: 20240354326
    Abstract: A system for enabling granular access control over ontology data and related methods are disclosed. The system is programmed to receive data source updates from data sources having respective sets of permissions for access control, transform the data source updates to changes to an ontology, and control access to the ontology based on the sets of permissions. The system is further programmed to receive a specification of one or more rules referencing attributes of user accounts or properties of ontology entities and corresponding one or more lists of permissions. The system is programmed to then enforce a security policy based on the specification to further control access to the ontology.

  • Publication number: 20240354295
    Abstract: A system for resolving conflicts between data source updates and user edits to an ontology before applying the resulting changes to the ontology and related methods are disclosed. The system is programmed to receive data source updates from data sources and transform the data source updates to updates to ontology data. The system is also programmed to receive edits to ontology data from user accounts. The system is programmed to review these updates or edits to the ontology and resolve conflicts according to a predetermined strategy, such as prioritizing a user edit over a data source update. The resulting changes are incorporated to one or more databases where representations of the ontology data are stored.

  • Patent number: 12095582
    Abstract: A system to perform latency compensation techniques to facilitate synchronous sharing of video content during a communication session. The system enables video content that is being shared during the communication session to be played synchronously across numerous different client devices that are being used to participate in the communication session, notwithstanding variations in networking latency associated with the different client devices. The disclosed technologies provide improvements over existing screen sharing techniques which include continuously uploading streams of shared media content from a sharer's device and distributing these uploaded streams to other devices. For example, the techniques described herein enable a system to facilitate sharing of video content during a communication session without initially rendering video content at and simultaneously uploading the rendered video content from a sharer's device.

  • Patent number: 12073582
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods train a model and then use the trained model to determine a global three dimensional (3D) position and orientation of a fiduciary marker. In the context of an apparatus for training a model, a wider field-of-view sensor is configured to acquire a static image of a space in which the fiducial marker is disposed and a narrower field-of-view sensor is configured to acquire a plurality of images of at least a portion of the fiducial marker. The apparatus also includes a pan-tilt unit configured to controllably alter pan and tilt angles of the narrower field-of-view sensor during image acquisition. The apparatus further includes a control system configured to determine a transformation of position and orientation information determined from the images acquired by the narrower field-of-view sensor to a coordinate system for the space for which the static image is acquired by the wider field-of-view sensor.
