  • Publication number: 20200286482
    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to processing voice commands or utterances. For instance, data indicative of a voice utterance can be received. A device topology representation can be accessed. The device topology representation can define a plurality of smart devices associated with one or more structures. The device topology representation can further define a location of each of the plurality of devices within the associated structures. A transcription of the voice utterance can be determined based at least in part on the device topology representation. One or more selected devices and one or more actions to be performed by the one or more selected devices can be determined based at least in part on the determined transcription and the device topology representation.

  • Publication number: 20200151432
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a children face alert system is provided for use with a smart device with a display screen. A neural network model trained with dataset images with embedded distance information can run in the background of the smart device. When receiving a captured image frame of the face of a child using the smart device, the neural network model can determine that the captured image frame is from a child, and further determine whether the face of the child is within a predetermined distance to the display screen based on a size of the face on the captured image frame. If the face is within the predetermined distance, the smart device can display an alert that the face of the child is too close to the display screen and pause one or more user applications until the child's face moves outside of the predetermined distance.

  • Publication number: 20200125576
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for or crawling and indexing content is presented. A message is received, where the message includes (i) submitted content, wherein the submitted content is identified as being published by an entity, and (ii) a link to a location on a resource hosting the submitted content. An evaluation is made as to whether the submitted content is represented in an index of known content to determine whether the submitted content is new relative to the known content. In response to the evaluation, a request is issued to a search engine to crawl and index the submitted content hosted by the resource associated with the link when the submitted content is new relative to the known content.

  • Publication number: 20190377304
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a wearable device that uses a nonmetallic rear cover. Compared with a metallic rear cover, the nonmetallic rear cover is more comfortable. In addition, because the nonmetallic rear cover has a plating layer used for enhancing antenna performance, intensity of a slot antenna formed by the plating layer and a metallic bezel can meet a design requirement. The slot antenna can normally receive an external signal, so as to implement a function of the smartwatch. It can be learned that user comfortability and antenna performance are integrated in the smartwatch in the embodiments.

  • Patent number: 10503740
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for re-ranking ranked search results is presented. Ranked search results satisfying a search query are obtained, where the ranked search results include a first search result corresponding to a first document associated with a first entity and a second search result corresponding to a second document associated with a second entity, and where the first search result is ranked higher than the second search result. The first document and the second document are determined to satisfy a similarity criterion. The second entity is determined to satisfy a predefined authorship differential with respect to the first entity. Responsive to determining that the second entity satisfies the predefined authorship differential with respect to the first entity, the second search result and the first search result in the ranked search results are swapped to produce re-ranked search results.
