  • Patent number: 11423126
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, generating, securing and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the security and quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide added security features and functionality to media files through computerized, automated encoding and decoding of portions of media file content such that identified portions of the content are obfuscated upon display and communication to other users. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel, computerized security feature(s) that protects data of media files from unintended exposure to third parties.

  • Patent number: 11328178
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of associating an annotation with an object in an image, comprising generating a dictionary including first vectors that associate terms of the annotation with concepts, classifying the image to generate a second vector based on classified objects and associated confidence scores for the classified objects, selecting a term of the terms associated with one of the first vectors having a shortest determined distance to the second vector, identifying a non-salient region of the image, and rendering the annotation associated with the selected term at the non-salient region.

  • Patent number: 11093839
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of grouping media objects is provided, as well as systems, interfaces and devices therefor. The method includes generating a group from the media objects based on a combination of a script of sequential events and an actor associated with one or more of the media objects in the script, segmenting the group into segments each including one or more of the media objects, based on clustering or classification, providing titling and captioning for the segments, and generating filter and annotation recommendations based on knowledge associations in the media objects, data, and the combination of the script and the actor, across the media objects of the group.

  • Patent number: 10806393
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of assessing whether a patent has a condition is provided, including generating a facial landmark on a received input video to define points associated with a region of interest on a face of the patient, defining a period of talking based respective positions of the defined points, during the period of talking, measuring pause frequency, repetitive pattern, and vocabulary variety, without determining or applying semantic information associated with the talking, to generate an aggregate score, and based on the aggregate score, generating a prediction of the patient having the condition associated with the aggregate score.

  • Patent number: 10810466
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of associating a non-electronic map with an electronic map is provided. The method comprises, for an obtained online data collection, generating a database of style-invariant and location-variant map representations by application of a convolutional neural network. Additionally, for a captured image associated with the non-electronic map, the captured image not having geo-location metadata, the method comprises applying a nearest neighbor heuristic to compare the captured image to the map representations and generate a match between the captured image and the map representations, and performing a display action associated with the match.

  • Patent number: 10325019
    Abstract: The present disclosure is descriptive of discovering structure, content, and context of a media event, e.g., a live media event, using real-time discussions that unfold through short messaging services. Generally, a sampling of short messages of a plurality of users is obtained. The sampling of short messages corresponds to a media event. A segment in the media event is identified using the sampling of short messages, and at least one term taken from the sampling of short messages is identified. The at least one term is indicative of a context of the identified segment.
