Patent number: 10614173Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides a system, computer readable storage medium, and a method providing an audio and textual transcript of a communication. A conferencing services may receive audio or audio visual signals from a plurality of different devices that receive voice communications from participants in a communication, such as a chat or teleconference. The audio signals representing voice (speech) communications input into respective different devices by the participants. A translation services server may receive over a separate communication channel the audio signals for translation into a second language. As managed by the translation services server, the audio signals may be converted into textual data. The textual data may be translated into text of different languages based the language preferences of the end user devices in the teleconference. The translated text may be further translated into audio signals.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Trausti Kristjansson, John Huang, Yu-Kuan Lin, Hung-ying Tyan, Jakob David Uszkoreit, Joshua James Estelle, Chung-yi Wang, Kirill Buryak, Yusuke Konishi

Patent number: 9569431Abstract: The present disclosure describes a teleconferencing system that may use a virtual participant processor to translate language content of the teleconference into each participant's spoken language without additional user inputs. The virtual participant processor may connect to the teleconference as do the other participants. The virtual participant processor may intercept all text or audio data that was previously exchanged between the participants may now be intercepted by the virtual participant processor. Upon obtaining a partial or complete language recognition result or making a language preference determination, the virtual participant processor may call a translation engine appropriate for each of the participants. The virtual participant processor may send the resulting translation to a teleconference management processor. The teleconference management processor may deliver the respective translated text or audio data to the appropriate participant.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jakob David Uszkoreit, Ashish Venugopal, Johan Schalkwyk, Joshua James Estelle

Patent number: 9542486Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can include receiving a media feed from a speaker computing device representing speech of a speaker user captured by the speaker computing device. The technique can include receiving a plurality of translation requests, each translation request being received from a listener computing device associated with a listener user and corresponding to a request to obtain a translated version of the media feed into a preferred language of the listener user. The technique can include determining the preferred language for each listener user. The technique can include obtaining a machine translated media feed for each of the translation requests, the machine translated media feed corresponding to a translation of the media feed from the source language to the preferred language of the listener user associated with the translation request. The technique can also include outputting the machine translated media feeds to the listener computing devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Alexander Jay Cuthbert, Joshua James Estelle

Patent number: 9251223Abstract: Many websites publish variants of their web pages based on language and region. However, when a user is directed toward the incorrect web page for the user's language preference, it there is not a simple way for the user to select the appropriate localized or region specific version of the web page. According to an embodiment, a language preference from a user may be received. A first language for a first web page may be identified and the first web page may be received by a computing device of the user. A second language for a second web page may be identified. The second web page may comprise an alternate version of the first web page. The first web page or the second web page may be selected according to the language preference of the user and the selected web page may be presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Chin, Jun Yin, Christopher Semturs, Joshua James Estelle

Publication number: 20150371411Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for rendering user interface elements. In accordance with some embodiments, a semantic name may be associated with an element of a user interface. Characteristics of an image associated with the user interface may be identified and compared with rules associated with the semantic name to identify a color. The element of the user interface may then be rendered in the identified color. Computer-implemented systems and methods are also provided for identifying a color for a user interface element. Characteristics of an image may be compared with each of a plurality of sets of rules associated with semantic names. A color that satisfies the set of rules may be identified for each of the sets of rules, and the identified colors may be presented to an operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2015Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventors: John Nicholas JITKOFF, Christopher Alan BANES, Joshua James ESTELLE
