Patent number: 12596747Abstract: A system may be configured to provide natural language search over security videos. In some aspects, the system may generate a first representation of sampled video information in a multidimensional format via a first machine learning model, and receive a request including a natural language input. Further, the system may generate a second representation of the natural language input in the multidimensional format via a second machine learning model that is a different from the first machine learning model, and determine that the first representation has a predefined relationship with the second representation. In addition, the system may present the second representation as a response to the request based on the first representation having the predefined relationship with the second representation.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2024Date of Patent: April 7, 2026Assignee: TYCO FIRE & SECURITY GMBHInventors: Amit Rozner, Yohay Falik, Ran Levy

Patent number: 12555263Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for detecting an object in an image, by applying, on a first input image, a first object detector configured to generate a bounding box around the object in the first input image. The implementations further include identifying a first bounding box having a first bounding box size around the object in the first input image and determining that the first bounding box size is less than a threshold size. Additionally, the implementations further include generating a second input image by cropping an area of the original image corresponding to the first bounding box and identifying, by applying a second object detector on the second input image, a second bounding box around the object in the second input image. Additionally, the implementations further include performing an image analysis function on the object using information from the second bounding box.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2022Date of Patent: February 17, 2026Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Ran Levy, Amit Rozner, Yohay Falik

Patent number: 11423897Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating an adaptive response to a user request. Input indicative of a user request may be received and utilized to identify an item in an electronic catalog. Title segments may be identified from the item's title. Significant segments of the user request may be determined. In response to the user request, a shortened title may be generated from the identified title segments and provided as output at the user device (e.g., via audible output provided at a speaker of the user device, via textual output, or the like). At least one of the title segments provided in the shortened title may correlate to the significant segment identified from the user request. In some embodiments, the length and content of the shortened title may vary based at least in part on the contextual intent of the user's request.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ran Levy, Ori Rozen, Leon Portman, Knaan Ratosh, Ido Arad, Hadar Neumann

Patent number: 11087742Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for generating adaptive feedback in response to a user request. Input indicative of a user request may be received and utilized to identify an item in an electronic catalog. A title for the item may be retrieved and provided, as input, to a machine-learning model. The machine-learning model may be trained to identify one or more segments of an input title. A shortened title may be generated from these identified segments and provided as output at the user device (e.g., via audible output provided at a speaker of the user device).
