  • Context-based search and relevancy generation
    Patent number: 10169432
    Abstract: A computing device receives a trigger to surface relevant content. The device also obtains a variety of different types of cross-source contextual information. Items of content are identified and relevancy weights are obtained based on the contextual information. A relevancy is calculated, based on the relevancy weights, for each item of content. The items of content are surfaced.

  • Context-based actions
    Patent number: 9646611
    Abstract: A computing device receives voice command inputs from a user. The device obtains a language processing result based on the voice command input. The result includes an intent and a set of arguments. The device also obtains a variety of different types of contextual information. An action is identified based on the intent, the arguments, and the contextual information, and the device then suggests the action by displaying a user selectable input mechanism that can be actuated by the user to perform the action. The device can automatically perform the action as well.

  • ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES IN CONTENT SHARING
    Publication number: 20160072857
    Abstract: A first computing system controls a presentation on a presentation device. The first computing system receives a request to join a presentation, from a second computing system. The first computing system extracts content from the presentation and makes it available to the second computing system in a form in which accessibility settings can be applied to the content, without affecting the visual appearance of the content being presented on the presentation device.
