Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may divide content of a document to be indexed into sections. The apparatus may divide and arrange each section into a hierarchy based on linguistic, spatial, or other analysis. The apparatus may identify a context of each section that may provide an indication of the subject matter of the section. The apparatus may add the context to downstream sections in the hierarchy. The apparatus may generate an index entry for each section based on the content of the section and any added context from upstream sections. Thus, the index entry for a given section may be based on the context of the given section and context of upstream sections in the hierarchy. In this way, the index entries may account for not only the content of the given section, but also context from upstream sections.

Abstract: According to an example, a computer may receive characteristics information of an object in a video stream captured by a first computing device, generate a signature based on the characteristics information, identify an augmented reality information associated with the signature, transmit the augmented reality information to the first computing device, receive, from a second computing device, a set of characteristics information of the object in an image captured by the second computing device, determine that the set of characteristics information from the second computing device has a second signature that matches the signature generated based on the characteristics information received form the first computing device, and transmit the identified augmented reality information to the second computing device.

Abstract: The systems and methods may allow mobile computing devices to identify real world trigger items and to cause augmented reality scenarios associated with a real world trigger item to be presented on a display of the mobile computing device. A lookup scheme may identify indexed feature points of known candidate trigger items stored in a database. A number of evaluations occur between the indexed feature points to the feature points found in the real world trigger item. A determination that the feature points of a candidate trigger item matches the feature points of the real world trigger item is made when a confidence threshold is met or exceeded based on at least the look up scheme, weighted factor evaluation, variable threshold evaluation and potentially a geometric consistency evaluation to declare a positive match.

Abstract: The systems and methods allow users of mobile computing devices to generate augmented reality scenarios. Augmented reality content is paired with a real world trigger item to generate the augmented reality scenario. The augmented reality content is overlaid onto frames on a video when a trigger item is detected. Each mobile computing device may have an augmented reality application resident on the mobile computing device to allow a user to generate the augmented reality scenarios.

Abstract: Systems and methods that allow for an intelligence platform for distributed processing of big data sets including both structured and unstructured data types across two or more intelligent data operation engine servers. The intelligent data operation engine servers can form a conceptual understanding of content in each electronic file and then cooperates with a distributed index handler to index the conceptual understanding of the electronic file. A query pipeline and the distributed index handler in the intelligence platform cooperate with the two or more intelligent data operation engine servers to improve scalability and performance on the big data sets containing both structured and un-structured electronic files represented in the common index.

Abstract: Methods for automatically recommending hash tags for use with comments generated by the comment authors comprise analyzing existing comments to determine reach and influence of authors of the existing comment, and hash tags and keywords that are included in the existing comments. The methods further comprise using the comment and linked content of links included in the existing comment to determine concept information associated with the existing comments, where the concept information is determined using a server computing system configured with an Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) application, and where the concept information, the reach and influence information, the keywords and the hash tags are stored in a hash tag database.

Abstract: A downloadable reminder application uses object recognition technology to recognize one or more objects appearing on a display screen of the mobile computing device and matches them to a set of known target objects. The downloadable reminder application process any associated trigger conditions for the target object. The downloadable reminder application then sets the future reminder for the target object to activate. The downloadable reminder application when it detects that a mobile computing device is satisfying the trigger condition for a target object for which it has set a future reminder on, then the downloadable reminder application in the mobile computing device fires the future reminder that was set for that target object and provides the alert to the user along with any triggerable contributions associated with that target object.

Abstract: At least a computer-implemented method and an apparatus for processing an image are described. In examples, numeric values for at least one property of the image are determined. These values are then converted into at least one corresponding text character, said conversion being independent of any text content within the image. This enables a text representation of the image to be generated that contains said plurality of text characters. This text representation may be used to index and search for the image.
