  • Patent number: 11954438
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques to identify the in-context meanings of natural language in order to decipher the evolution or creation of new vocabulary words and create a more holistic user experience. Thus, disclosed embodiments improve the technical field of digital content comprehension. In embodiments, machine learning is used to identify sentiment of text, perform entity detection to determine topics of text, and/or perform image analysis on images used in digital content. Words, symbols, and images that are determined to be potentially unfamiliar to a user are augmented with a supplemental definition indication. Invoking the supplemental definition indication enables rendering of additional definition information for the user. This serves to accelerate understanding of digital content such as webpages and social media posts.

  • Patent number: 6905071
    Abstract: A multi-mode laser-based bar code symbol reading device having a hand-supportable housing with a light transmission aperture, wherethrough visible light can exit and enter the hand-supportable housing. A laser scanning engine, disposed within the hand-supportable housing, is controlled to selectively operate in either an omni-directional scanning mode or a single line scanning mode. In the omni-directional scanning mode, the laser scanning engine projects an omni-directional scanning pattern through the light transmission aperture, detects and decodes bar code symbols on objects passing through the omni-directional scanning pattern, and produces symbol character data representative of decoded bar code symbols.
