  • Patent number: 11042960
    Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for detecting a manual addition of first content to an interactive display and defining a content boundary around the first content. Additionally, a first automatic rescaling of the first content within the content boundary may be conducted in response to one or more of a manual modification of the first content or a trigger related to a characteristic of the first content. In one example, a manual reposition request is detected with respect to the first content, the first content is moved to a new position on the interactive display based on the reposition request, and a second automatic rescaling of the first content is conducted based on a state of second content that is adjacent to the new position.

  • Patent number: 10673804
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving the quality of the posts in a social network. A topic of a post to a social network environment is identified using natural language processing. The tense of the post directed to the identified topic is detected using natural language processing. The post is transformed to a suggested post of a second tense directed to the same topic to the user using natural language processing. A suggested message to be posted by the user to the social network in a third tense (e.g., past tense) based on the posts directed to the identified topic in the first and second tenses (e.g., future and present tenses) is generated using natural language processing thereby forming a past/present/future pairing of posts. By forming a past/present/future pairing of posts, a more complete and understandable view of the user's personal history may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 10595086
    Abstract: A method, system, and or computer program product selects and displays keyframes for multiple video files on a graphical user interface (GUI). A first set of keyframes for a first video file and a second set of keyframes for a second video file are received and compared to one another. In response to determining that a keyframe from the first set of keyframes and a keyframe from the second set of keyframes are a duplicate keyframe, a new keyframe for the second video file is selected and displayed on the GUI to represent the second video file.

  • Patent number: 9930136
    Abstract: In an approach to form groups based on an emotional state of a user, a computer determines an emotional state of a first user. The computer determines an emotional state of a plurality of users and determines the emotional state of at least one user of the plurality of users corresponding to the emotional state of the first user. The computer provides a recommendation for forming a group, based, at least in part, on the corresponding emotional states of the first user and the at least one user. The computer then determines, based on at least one criteria on the group, a duration for the group.
