  • Patent number: 12260639
    Abstract: A method for automatically annotating an intended video with at least one personalized recap video based on previously viewed videos is provided. The method may include automatically tracking user viewership of the previously viewed videos, and in response to detecting an intention to view the intended video: automatically identifying and extracting a subset of video footage from one or more of the previously viewed videos based on the tracked user viewership and based on a determined relevancy of the subset of video footage to content in the intended video; generating the at least one personalized recap video by compiling and sorting the extracted subset of video footage from the one or more previously viewed videos into a compilation video; and annotating the intended video with the at least one personalized video by presenting the at least one personalized recap video on the intended video.

  • Patent number: 11115599
    Abstract: A computer system automatically corrects a view of an image capture device. A view of an image capture device is adjusted by applying one or more modifications selected from a group of: a zoom modification, a pan modification, and a tilt modification, wherein the view is displayed at a client device during a viewing session and the one or more modifications are indicated by the client device. One or more corrective operations are applied to the adjusted view based on user input, wherein the one or more corrective operations include a rotational operation to correct the adjusted view. Subsequent operations based on the one or more corrective operations are applied during a subsequent viewing session with corresponding view settings. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for automatically correcting a view of an image capture device in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 10887724
    Abstract: A method, a computing system, and a computer program product are provided. At least one processor receives a location of a mobile device. The location of the mobile device is compared to a location of an operator of a vehicle used to transport a user of the mobile device. In response to the vehicle reaching a destination and the location of the mobile device being within a threshold distance of the operator of the vehicle for a threshold amount of time, one or more from a group of the user of the mobile device, the operator of the vehicle, and a third party indicated by the user are notified, via the at least one processor, regarding the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10834538
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided. At least one processor of a computing device determines that a mobile device remained in a vehicle used in a vehicle for hire service after the vehicle reached a destination. The at least one processor determines at least one second party to notify regarding the mobile device being left in the vehicle based on a use of the vehicle for hire service by a user of the mobile device and the at least one second party. The at least one processor notifies the at least one second party regarding the mobile device being left in the vehicle via at least one device used by the at least one second party.
