  • Patent number: 12260842
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for displaying interactive augmented reality presentations are provided. In some embodiments, a system comprises: a head mounted display comprising: a transparent display; a plurality of sensors; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to: select a content display location of a plurality of predetermined content display locations to use to present content based at least in part on a location of the head mounted display within a current physical environment; and cause content to be presented by the head mounted display anchored at the selected content display location.

  • Publication number: 20250053574
    Abstract: Documents and other process area events in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system are extracted according to a knowledge table. The extracted events are stitched together in a timeline order, placed in a transport container (or otherwise transmitted), and input to, for example, a process mining or process intelligence tool. The tool utilizes any of AI, Machine learning, or other techniques to evaluate processes and/or documents represented by the extracted events, and triggering alerts or messages based on the evaluation. The tool may be a task mining tool and/or provide information or suggestions for improving the document or process represented by the document(s) and may prepare and display (or provide for display) a visual model of the evaluated process or document and may highlight anomalies therein.
