Publication number: 20230230298Abstract: In an approach to generating playlists/sequences of images, a system includes: a memory configured to store at least a first image; a one or more computer processors; one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media; and program instructions. The program instructions include: receive the first image; determine at least one characteristic associated with an object represented within the first image and an expected user input associated with the at least one characteristic; and generate a sequence definition, the sequence definition including an identifier of the first image and an identifier of the at least one characteristic, where the sequence definition is configured to cause the first image to be interactively visualized to a user via a user interface to determine if a user input matches an expected user input based on the identifier of the at least one characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Allen K.

Patent number: 10990631Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to linking documents using citations. A server accesses a stored document in a data repository. The server determines a set of candidate citing documents that cite the stored document. The server obtains, for each candidate citing document from the set, first information representing an impact of the candidate citing document taken as a whole and second information representing a citation context within the candidate citing document. The server determines a subset of citing documents, from the set of candidate citing documents, based on the obtained first information and the obtained second information. The server provides a digital transmission of the stored document, including visible indicia of the subset of citing documents, for display at a client device.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: ResearchGate GmbHInventors: Vyacheslav Zholudev, Michael Häusler, Ijad Madisch, Horst Fickenscher, Darren Alvares
