  • Patent number: 11354356
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to identifying a video for completing a task and determining a plurality of video segments of the identified video based on one or more attributes of the task. A task and a plurality of how-to videos related to the task may be identified. A how-to video may be selected and a plurality of video segments of the selected how-to video may be determined. One or more video segments may be associated with one or more task attributes that relate to performing the task. The selected video may be provided to a user and segmented, indexed, and/or annotated based on the associated video segments. In some implementations a given object utilized in performing the task may be identified and one or more video segments corresponding to the given object may be identified and/or provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 10585927
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to providing steps for completing a task based on analysis of multiple sources. A how-to query related to performing a task and a plurality of sources related to the how-to query may be identified. A set of steps related to performing the task may be determined based on analysis of the plurality of sources that are related to the how-to query, optionally including determining a confidence measure for the plurality of sources. The set of steps may be associated with the how-to query in a database. The set of steps may be provided to a user in response to the how-to query submitted by the user. In some implementations the analysis of the plurality of sources that are related to the how-to query may include comparing components of different sets of steps and identifying the common elements to determine a set of steps.
