  • Publication number: 20220179909
    Abstract: An online concierge system generates an item graph connecting item nodes with attribute nodes of the items. Example attributes include a brand, a category, a department, or any other suitable information about the item. When the online concierge system receives a search query to identify one or more items from a customer, the online concierge system parses the search query into combinations of terms and identifies item nodes and attribute nodes related to the search query. The online concierge system identifies item nodes and attribute nodes that are likely to result in a conversion. Information about the identified nodes is presented to the customer. The customer may select an item node to purchase the item, or an attribute node to execute a new search query based on terms associated with the attribute node.

  • Publication number: 20220108333
    Abstract: An online concierge system suggests subsequent search queries based on previous search queries and whether the previous search queries resulted in conversions. The online concierge system trains a machine learning model using previous delivery orders and whether initial and subsequent search queries in the previous delivery orders resulted in conversions. When the online concierge system receives a search query to identify one or more items from a customer, the online concierge system parses the search query into combinations of terms and identifies items related to the search query. In response to the search query resulting in a conversion, the online concierge system retrieves a conversion graph and presents a suggested subsequent search query based on the conversion graph. In response to the search query not resulting in a conversion, the online concierge system retrieves a non-conversion graph and presents a suggested subsequent search query based on the non-conversion graph.

  • Patent number: 10768509
    Abstract: The present invention is an on-camera flashlight, comprising a lower light holder and a top light holder freely rotatably connected to the lower light holder. A flashlight light source is mounted on the top of the top light holder. The light emitting diode and the flashlight light source are mounted on the on-camera flashlight, combined for ease of use. Two functions-in-one lighting device saves space, avoids overloading the camera, and makes it portable. Because the two light sources are set in combination, the cooperation and sequence of the two light sources are easier to control. As the light emitting diode is mounted on the top light holder which may freely rotate with respect to the lower light holder, the light emitting diode may also freely rotate. It is also convenient to adjust the light direction. Above features all remarkably facilitate operation and versatility of the on-camera flashlight.

  • Publication number: 20160116826
    Abstract: This specification discloses an on-camera flashlight, comprising a flashlight body, wherein the flashlight body is provided with a flashlight battery cabin, characterized that the flashlight battery cabin is provided with multiple (e.g. six) electric contactors electrically connected to output metal plate of a battery. The flashlight battery cabin in the present invention is used for holding batteries. The flashlight battery cabin has at least six electric contactors and the six electric contact shrapnel are located at the center of the base portion of the flashlight battery cabin. Therefore, it can ensure that the batteries and the flashlight battery cabin are pressed uniformly, and the batteries do not easily swell up and thus safety is improved. Moreover, because the flashlight battery cabin is pressed uniformly, the shell does not easily damage and the service life of the camera is thus extended.

  • Patent number: 8636429
    Abstract: An easily adjustable tripod includes a main body, legs, a positioning piece, and a spring. The main body includes an adjustable connection part having protruding parts that function as gear teeth. Each leg includes a connector having two protruding side walls. The connector and the adjustable connection part are coupled with mounting screws. The positioning piece is coupled to the connector between the two protruding walls and meshes with the protruding parts on the adjustable connection part. The opening angle of the legs can be easily adjusted and fixed using the positioning piece and the adjustable connection part. The spring and the positioning piece are installed to form an organic whole, so the positioning piece can be conveniently adjusted without changing the opening angle after fixation. It is easy to close and fold the tripod because of the applied force of the spring.
