Patent number: 11714595Abstract: Adapting an audio portion of a video conference includes a presenter providing content for the video conference by delivering live content, prerecorded content, or combining live content with prerecorded content, at least one additional co-presenter provides content for the video conference, and untangling overlapping audio streams of the presenter and the co-presenter by replaying individual audio streams from the presenter and/or the at least one co-presenter or separating the audio streams by diarization. Adapting an audio portion of a video conference may also include recording the presenter to provide a recorded audio stream, using speech-to-text conversion to convert the recorded audio stream to text, correlating the text to the recorded audio stream, retrieving a past portion of the recorded audio stream using a keyword search of the text, and replaying the past portion of the recorded audio stream. The keyword may be entered using a voice recognition system.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: mmhmm inc.Inventors: Phil Libin, Leonid Kitainik

Patent number: 10587773Abstract: Enhancing image quality of an initial full image of a document page includes obtaining the initial full image of a document page, determining that at least a subset of text in the initial full image does not meet a predefined readability criterion, identifying at least one of a plurality of page fragments in the initial full image of the document page for enhancement, and sending an instruction to a mobile device to provide a photograph of the at least one of the page fragments. The photograph provides a separate fragment image for the at least one of the page fragments. The separate fragment image is then obtained from the mobile device and merged into the initial full image to provide an enhanced full image.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: EVERNOTE CORPORATIONInventors: Alexander Pashintsev, Boris Gorbatov, Leonid Kitainik

Patent number: 10038818Abstract: Enhancing image quality of an initial full image of a document includes subdividing the initial full image of the document into a number of segments, determining at least one of the segments for enhancement, directing a user to take photographs with a smartphone to provide a separate segment image for the at least one of the segments by presenting on a screen of the smartphone a view of the document having lines superimposed thereon corresponding to the segments, and merging the separate segment image to provide an enhanced full image. The number of segments may depend upon a size of text in the initial full image and a desired height of text in the enhanced full image. The view of the document having lines superimposed thereon corresponding to the segments may provide a target to the user for photographing the at least one of the segments.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: EVERNOTE CORPORATIONInventors: Alexander Pashintsev, Boris Gorbatov, Leonid Kitainik

Patent number: 9977828Abstract: Handling event data received by a mobile device includes filtering out at least a subset of event data based on pre-determined filtering rules, forming groups of event data by grouping at least some of the event data that has not been filtered out based on pre-determined grouping rules, and storing, based on pre-determined auto-filing rules, at least one of: groups of event data and non-filtered event data that is not included with any groups of event data. The event data may include photos, videos, recorded voice notes, phone calls, voice mails, user location data, messaging data, calendar entries, email messages, wireless data transmissions, and/or events scheduled from software applications and online services. The filtering rules may be based on a filtering criteria such as time, location, keyword match, semantic similarity, and/or relations to known events.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: EVERNOTE CORPORATIONInventors: Hemant Garg, Leonid Kitainik

Patent number: 9674396Abstract: Enhancing image quality of an initial full image of a document includes subdividing the initial full image of the document into a number of segments, directing a user to take photographs with a smartphone to provide a separate segment image for each of the segments by presenting on a screen of the smartphone a view of the document having lines superimposed thereon corresponding to the segments, and merging the separate segment images to provide an enhanced full image. The number of segments may depend upon a size of text in the initial full image and a desired height of text in the enhanced full image. The initial full image may be provided by a photograph taken by the user with the smartphone. The view of the document having lines superimposed thereon corresponding to the segments may provide a target to the user for photographing the segments.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: EVERNOTE CORPORATIONInventors: Alexander Pashintsev, Boris Gorbatov, Leonid Kitainik
