  • Synchronization of digital content
    Patent number: 11966879
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to the sharing of synchronization information corresponding to content among devices in a communication network. An originating device collects synchronization information related to the presentation of content to a user via the originating device. The synchronization information is defined according to reference points related to the presentation of the content to the user via the originating device, including a current state of the presentation of the content and/or additional information obtained during the presentation of the content. Based on detection of a synchronization event, the originating device transmits the collected synchronization information, resulting in the receipt of the synchronization information by one or more receiving devices. Thereafter, the presentation of the content to the user on one of the receiving devices can incorporate the synchronization information collected and transmitted by the originating device.

  • INTERACTIVE ASSISTANCE FOR EXECUTING NATURAL LANGUAGE QUERIES TO DATA SETS
    Publication number: 20230325384
    Abstract: Interactive assistances for executing natural language queries to data sets may be performed. A natural language query may be received. Candidate entity linkages may be determined between an entity recognized in the natural language query and columns in data sets. The candidate linkages may be ranked according to confidence scores which may be evaluated to detect ambiguity for an entity linkage. Candidate entity linkages may be provided to a user via an interface to select an entity linkage to use as part of completing the natural language query.
