Patent number: 12265587Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Emily Brooks Pavlini, Jason Rastrick Briggs, Max Kleiman-Weiner, John Randolph Frank, Tyler Balensiefer, Cogan Dwayne Culver, Kevin John Doyle, Thomas Michael DuBois, Keith Michael Gabryelski, Andrew Richard Gallant, Andrew Wilson Haskell, Abdi-Hakin Dirie, David Johnson, Geoffrey Ira Milstein, Daniel Adam Roberts, Aaron Michael Taylor, Henry Forrest Leanna Wallace, Logan Eli Zoellner

Patent number: 12254717Abstract: An interactive portrait system includes a camera configured to capture imagery of an environment and a controller. The controller is configured to analyze the imagery to identify a guest in the environment, instruct an output device to provide an initial output to attempt to interact with the guest, and analyze the imagery to identify a behavior of the guest during the initial output, after the initial output, or both. The controller is also configured to evaluate the behavior of the guest using one or more artificial intelligence algorithms to determine whether the guest responded to the initial output. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the guest responded to the initial output, instruct the output device to provide an additional output to continue to attempt to interact with the guest.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Universal City Studios LLCInventors: Robert Michael Jordan, Anthony Melo, Angelo Pagliuca, Brandon David Burnette, John Adams, Jacob David Allinson, Eric To Chan, Mark James Traynor
