  • Patent number: 11956275
    Abstract: In some examples, with respect to asymmetric-man-in-the-middle capture based application sharing protocol traffic recordation, a dynamic-link library that alters application programming interface calls with respect to communication between an application sharing protocol client and an application sharing protocol server may be injected into the application sharing protocol client. Based on the injected dynamic-link library, data from the communication between the application sharing protocol client and the application sharing protocol server may be ascertained. Further, based on the ascertained data, a test script may be generated to test operation of an application associated with the communication between the application sharing protocol client and the application sharing protocol server.

  • Patent number: 11303801
    Abstract: Methods and computer program products for determining one or more settings of a camera apparatus are provided. The methods include obtaining one or more parameters of the camera apparatus and determining one or more settings of the camera apparatus using the one or more parameters and an image repository. The image repository may include images with image parameters associated with the images, which may be correlated with the one or more parameters of the camera apparatus, and the images may also have an associated rating attribute. One or more images may be identified for inclusion in a subset of images, based on an image's image parameters and/or based on an image's rating attribute. The camera settings of one image of the subset of images, corresponding to the settings used to create the one image, may be used to automatically adjust the one or more settings of the camera apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10970334
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include method, systems and computer program products for obtaining a scene from a database. Aspects of the invention include receiving a search request for a scene stored in a database including annotated video content. One or more keywords are extracted from the search request. Extended keywords are generated for each keyword. The extended keywords and keywords are compared to the annotated video content to identify target scenes including target scene annotations. A confidence rating is assigned to each of the target scenes based at least in part on a correlation between the target scene annotations for each of the target scenes and the extended keywords and keywords. And at least one of the target scenes are displayed to the user, wherein the at least one of the target scenes is determined based on the confidence ratings.

  • Patent number: 10833515
    Abstract: An automatic charging device for an AGV on an automated container terminal and a charging method using the same are disclosed. The automatic charging device comprises a vehicle-mounted device and a ground device. The vehicle-mounted device comprises RFID read-write coils, a charging connector buffer device, a charging connector, a power measuring module, a vehicle charging controller and a vehicle-mounted wireless module. The ground device comprises an RFID label array, a power panel, a conductive groove, a pressure sensor, an electromagnet, a ground charging controller and a ground wireless module. The hook shaped charging plug, the charging connector buffer device and the power panel with the electromagnet improve success rate of connection between the power supply and the plug, and improve AGV working efficiency. RFID technology is used for positioning the charging region with high reliability. The pressure sensor and the safety cover ensure safety of the charging process and prevent electric leakage.

  • Patent number: 10391414
    Abstract: A cognitive system is provided which includes an interactive device, such as a toy, for communicating with a user. The cognitive system includes different levels of communication capability for communicating with the user via the interactive device. The system adjusts from one level of communication capability to another level of communication capability of the different levels of communication capability based on occurrence of one or more specified conditions of user communication with the interactive device. For instance, the different levels of communication capability may include multiple levels of language capabilities, and the one or more specified conditions may include one or more language-based interaction conditions, time-based interaction conditions, or physical-based interaction conditions of the user with the interactive device.
