  • Patent number: 11991401
    Abstract: A method for searching an AD insertion position includes following steps: S1. identifying a human body area in a video image; S2. identifying a blank wall area in the video image; and S3. determining the AD insertion position in the blank wall area in the video image, so that the AD insertion position intersects the human body area. A method for automatically inserting an advertisement AD in a video includes following steps: determining an AD insertion position in the video by searching a product AD insertion position based on deep learning, and inserting the AD on the position. Through the method, an appropriate position for an AD can be automatically searched on a blank wall part in the video. In addition, the inserted AD can be presented in the video in a natural way, and thereby avoiding or reducing the impact of AD insertion on impression of the video.

  • Patent number: 11572653
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display on one side of the device and one or more image sensors on the opposite side of the device captures image data using the one or more image sensors. The display displays a portion of the captured image data on the display and a first graphical object overlaid on the displayed portion of the captured image data. A user gesture is detected using the one or more image sensors. In accordance with a determination that the detected user gesture meets a set of criteria, a position of the graphical object is updated based on the user gesture or is the first graphical object is replaced with a second graphical object. In accordance with a determination that the detected user gesture does not meet a set of criteria, the display of the first graphical object is maintained.

  • Publication number: 20220160753
    Abstract: The present relates generally to a method for stimulating the activation of an antigen presenting cell. The method includes activating antigen presenting cells by contacting the cells with an effective amount of a GC polymer that has a molecular weight of less than 420 kDa, followed by determining whether the antigen presenting cells are activated by measuring the amount of co-stimulatory marker CD40 expressed by the cells. Also, the present relates to an injectable pharmaceutical composition for stimulating the activation of an antigen presenting cell.

  • Publication number: 20210289147
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display, memory, and an image sensor captures image data from the image sensor. The device receives a selection of a background image from a user of the electronic device. The background image 100is not based on image data from the image sensor. The device displays a view on the display or view-fmder. The view is based on the captured image data and the selected background image. The device receives first user input at the electronic device.
