Patent number: 10902050Abstract: Speech-to-text analysis, emotion analysis, and time analysis are performed on a media file by a data processing system. The media file is divided, by the data processing system, into a first fragment and a second fragment based at least in part on the speech-to-text analysis, the emotion analysis, and the time analysis. Semantic analysis is performed, by the data processing system, on the first fragment and the second fragment based on a search query for the media file. A first weight is provided for the first fragment and a second weight is provided for the second fragment based on the semantic analysis, the emotion analysis, and the time analysis. The data processing system stores the first weight in association with the first fragment and the second weight in association with the second fragment.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Jacqueline Cheng, Micky Chiang, Di Ling Chen, Sharon Chen, Si Er Han, Pei-Yi Lin

Patent number: 10379840Abstract: Techniques facilitating a crowd-sourcing accessibility rendering system for non-accessible applications are provided. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an interaction component that monitors one or more interactions between one or more entities and a defined application. The computer executable components can also comprise an analysis component that determines accessibility related information associated with the defined application based on received feedback from an entity of the one or more entities. Further, the computer executable components can comprise an adjustment component that creates a modified application based on the one or more interactions and the accessibility related information of the defined application.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sharon Chen, Louis Huang, Gary Lin, Pei-Yi Lin, Jin Shi
