  • Publication number: 20240095877
    Abstract: Features described herein generally relate to providing spatiotemporal guidance within a 360-degree video. Particularly, while a 360-degree video is being displayed to a user, a current location of the view of the user within the 360-degree video is determined. Additionally, regions of interest may be identified within the 360-degree video, along with their location and a time in which the regions of interest are active within the 360-degree video. A visual guide is then overlaid onto the 360-degree video that indicates a current location of the view of the user, as well as locations of one or more regions of interest, as well as the time during which each region of interest is active (able to be viewed) within the 360-degree video. By viewing the visual guide, the user may be able to anticipate a location and timing of regions of interest within the 360-degree video and adjust their gaze to the correct location at the correct time to view such regions of interest.

  • Patent number: 11934410
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for planning recurring events is provided. Event objects for events are stored in a database. A trigger notifying the beginning of an event is received and an event object representing the event is generated in response to the trigger. An event class is associated with a set of parameters and is assigned to the event object. A set of activity data is created for the event object and each activity data includes structured and unstructured data describing an event activity occurred during the event. At least one event object is retrieved from the database as a model and the parameter values of the model event object are displayed. At least one of the parameter values of the model event object is modified and the modification is reflected against other parameter values of the model event object that are dependent on the modified parameter value.

  • Patent number: 11930054
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments facilitating a holistic engagement with a user across multiple communication channels of an organization or an enterprise based at least in part on a determined user intent. As users interact with various services associated with the organization through one or more communication channels, interaction data can be captured and stored. In various examples, the interaction data that is stored by the various services can be obtained and organized according to a predefined schema. The organized interaction data can be applied to a trained intent model that outputs a user intent based at least in part on observations of other users with similar histories. The predicted intent can be provided to the different services such that subsequent interactions between the user and the organization can be based at least in part on the intent in a consistent manner, regardless of the communication channel associated with the interaction.
