  • Patent number: 11354356
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to identifying a video for completing a task and determining a plurality of video segments of the identified video based on one or more attributes of the task. A task and a plurality of how-to videos related to the task may be identified. A how-to video may be selected and a plurality of video segments of the selected how-to video may be determined. One or more video segments may be associated with one or more task attributes that relate to performing the task.

  • Patent number: 10585927
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to providing steps for completing a task based on analysis of multiple sources. A how-to query related to performing a task and a plurality of sources related to the how-to query may be identified. A set of steps related to performing the task may be determined based on analysis of the plurality of sources that are related to the how-to query, optionally including determining a confidence measure for the plurality of sources. The set of steps may be associated with the how-to query in a database. The set of steps may be provided to a user in response to the how-to query submitted by the user. In some implementations the analysis of the plurality of sources that are related to the how-to query may include comparing components of different sets of steps and identifying the common elements to determine a set of steps.
