  • Patent number: 8775916
    Abstract: Technology for testing a target recognition, analysis, and tracking system is provided. A searchable repository of recorded and synthesized depth clips and associated ground truth tracking data is provided. Data in the repository is used by one or more processing devices each including at least one instance of a target recognition, analysis, and tracking pipeline to analyze performance of the tracking pipeline. An analysis engine provides at least a subset of the searchable set responsive to a request to test the pipeline and receives tracking data output from the pipeline on the at least subset of the searchable set. A report generator outputs an analysis of the tracking data relative to the ground truth in the at least subset to provide an output of the error relative to the ground truth.

  • Patent number: 8762862
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for launching an online support chat session in response to an occurrence of a support event on a personal computer and transmitting detailed event information via the chat session for display to support personnel. When an error or other event occurs on a computer, an online support chat session is established using an online support chat client associated with the error or event. The pertinent information about the error or event along with additional data regarding the computer and the user are transmitted via the online support chat session for display to the support personnel.

  • Patent number: 7548895
    Abstract: Communications are monitored for user intentions related to user tasks such as meeting scheduling and the like 308. When an intention (e.g. mention of a meeting) is determined from the communications, candidate task actions (e.g., scheduling meeting) are initiated and/or stored 310. At an appropriate event trigger (e.g. completion of communications), a user can be prompted with a list of candidate task actions and can select which actions to perform 312. Action profiles 320 can also be incorporated to allow customization of how task actions are completed. These profiles can be called at the time of task action execution to guide the action fulfillment. The profiles can be user and/or system generated and/or provided by third parties and the like. The task actions are typically performed utilizing task related applications to fully execute the task action so that additional user input is not required.
