  • Patent number: 11314801
    Abstract: Partial-image search criteria are derived that include a combination of multiple partial-image user selections of portions of at least one image. Visual search results are returned responsive to a search for images that correspond to the derived partial-image search criteria. The visual search results include at least one identified image that includes features that correspond to the derived partial-image search criteria that include the combination of the multiple partial-image user selections.

  • Patent number: 10963476
    Abstract: In searching data on a network, a data set is retrieved from the network based on a search query. Relationships between data of the retrieved data set are determined and a visualization representing related data of the retrieved data set based on the determined relationships is generated and presented. The data of the retrieved data set is accessed based on a selection of represented data within the visualization.

  • Patent number: 10635434
    Abstract: A code annotating system includes a code wrapper engine configured to receive an output stream of target coding language converted from source code. The system further includes an annotator engine configured to automatically annotate a copy of the output stream with source information to create an annotated output document by collecting a call stack associated with a code fragment in the output stream, analyzing the call stack by excluding any information that does not emit content in the target coding language, and annotating the copy with the analyzed call stack, the source information mapping a relationship between the code fragment in the annotated output document and the source code. The system further includes a memory device configured to store the source information.

  • Patent number: 10497398
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method of choreographic editing of multimedia and other streams. The method includes receiving, one or more multimedia clips. The multimedia clips are displayed to a user, who can then select one or more of the clips. The user creates one or more synchronization points. An embodiment automatically adjusts the selected multimedia clips using the synchronization points. Thereafter a finished media file is created.

  • Patent number: 10229042
    Abstract: A technique relates comparing content. A first set of content in a first document and a second set of content in a second document are normalized. The first set of content in the first document and the second set of content in the second document are tokenized. The first set of content having been tokenized and the second set of content having been tokenized are compared in order to find differences in the second set of content with respect to the first set of content. The differences are compiled in a changes map. The differences in the changes map are analyzed to determine types of the differences in the first set of content and the second set of content, and predefined differences are to be excluded. A report of the differences is generated, and the report delineates the types of the differences while excluding the predefined differences.

  • Patent number: 9996454
    Abstract: A technique relates testing an application under test using (AUT) testing. The testing software creates a testcase by executing the AUT under normal usage, and normal usage is defined as operating the AUT for its intended purpose. The normal usage is not part of the testing. Creating the testcase includes capturing artifacts related to running the AUT under the normal usage, and the artifacts include an input artifact to the AUT and an output artifact resulting from executing the AUT. Also, the testcase is executed by re-executing the AUT using the input artifact previously captured in the artifacts of the testcase in order to obtain a new output artifact. The testing software verifies the new output artifact resulting from execution of the testcase by comparing the output artifact previously captured in the artifacts from executing the AUT under the normal usage to the new output artifact from executing the testcase.

  • Patent number: 9760581
    Abstract: Multiple partial-image selections are received. Each of the multiple partial-image selections includes a user-selected portion of one of a group of images. Partial-image search criteria are derived from a combination of the multiple partial-image selections. A search is performed for images that correspond to the partial-image search criteria derived from the combination of the multiple partial-image selections. Visual search results are returned. The visual search results include at least one identified image that includes features that correspond to the partial-image search criteria derived from the combination of the multiple partial-image selections.
