Publication number: 20220122099Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for discovering precursors associated with a current user interaction event. One method comprises receiving a selection of a new item by a user and determining a plurality of similarities between the new item selected by the user and a plurality of historical items, the plurality of historical items being associated with prior user activity. Then a plurality of importance weights associated with the plurality of historical items are determined. Based on the plurality of similarities and the plurality of importance weights, at least one enhanced importance matrix is generated. Further, prior interactions of the user with the plurality of historical items are determined. Based on the enhanced importance matrix and the prior interactions of the user with the plurality of historical items, precursors for the new item selected by the user are identified and provided to a display.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Yue NING, Akshay SONI, Troy CHEVALIER, Rao SHEN, Parikshit SHAH

Publication number: 20170156585Abstract: The invention relates to an eye condition determination system (1) for determining an eye condition of a person, especially of a child, during a viewing activity during which the person views an object (3). A spatial characteristics capturing unit (2) captures a spatial dimension of the object and/or a spatial position of the object relative to the person during the viewing activity, and an eye condition determination unit (4) determines an eye condition like myopia or strabismus based on the captured spatial dimension of the object and/or the captured spatial position of the object relative to the person. This allows for a determination of the eye condition during a normal viewing activity like reading a text without any assistance by, for instance, parents, especially without any user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: WEIRAN NIE, JIANFENG WANG, YAO-JUNG WEN, SIRISHA RANGAVAJHALA, MAULIN DAHYABHAI PATEL, PARIKSHIT SHAH
