  • Patent number: 11023829
    Abstract: Many professionals use public transportation for site visits. If there is spare time between site visits, it is desirable for them to find a workspace that is more secure than a coffee shop. Work booths located at train stations meet that need. The system handles the reservation of those work booths based on the customer's schedule and destinations. In a dense public transportation network of a major metropolitan area, there are several routes one can take to travel between two points with only slight delays. Small additional detours may be acceptable if they pass by an available work booth. Unlike a traditional public transportation navigation system, one or more of the described embodiments can check all routes leading past work booths in parallel.

  • Patent number: 10726511
    Abstract: Rights holders such as copyright owners want to keep track of copying of printed materials owned by them. That information can be used to check if the person copying has a license. Alternatively, the information can be used for billing. In some countries, an intermediary such as a copyright agency may facilitate the tracking of such copying and the compensation of the rights holders. This system automates the process by monitoring copiers, matching copied images to materials owned by rights holders, and recording such copying actions including the identifier of the copier, the copying person, the number of copies, and the matched materials. Alternatively, the system may prevent the copying if there is no permission by the rights holders.

  • Patent number: 9589205
    Abstract: A method identifies user demographic characteristics, such as age and gender. First, a plurality of photos are acquired from postings to a social media site by a specific user. A plurality of facial images are identified in the acquired photos. Using a selected subset of the facial images, the method estimates one or more demographic characteristics of the user. In some cases, the estimation uses a profile photograph of the user. In some cases, the facial images are clustered based on similarity. The cluster that most closely matches the profile photo is used for demographic analysis to estimate the characteristics of the user. In some cases, a cluster is selected based on cluster purity, and the images in the cluster are used to estimate the characteristics of the user. In some cases, other self-portrait features are used, such as large facial images or arms along the perimeter of photographs.

  • Patent number: 9275278
    Abstract: Provided is an off-center embedded media marker, which may have a form of an iconic marker printed outside the boundary of a region of interest in a document or other article and indicating an available media object or a function associated with the aforesaid region of interest. This marker is used by defining a sight element with the boundary shape of the marker near the edge of a viewable portion of a display, aligning the sight element with the marker and capturing an image of a predetermined region of the document without using a visible region boundary on the hardcopy document. The media or function associated with the marker is automatically determined by performing a feature-based analysis of the captured image similarly to the techniques developed in connection with the conventional embedded media markers. Upon the determination, the associated media is retrieved of the associated function is performed.
