  • Publication number: 20200065499
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s), obtains pre-recorded visual data from a given location, captured by an image capture device at a visual input location at the given location. The processor(s) determines a position of the image capture device utilized to capture the visual data. The processor(s) obtains known landmarks from data related to the given location. The processor(s) analyzes the visual data to identify a portion of the known landmarks in the visual data, where the analyzing generates matched landmarks. The processor(s) determines a spatial orientation and positioning of the visual input location with respect to the matched landmarks, at the given location. The processor(s) generates an encryption key, utilizing the spatial orientation and the positioning of the visual input location with respect to the matched landmarks. The processor(s) encrypts a message with the encryption key, generating an encrypted message.

  • Patent number: 10360224
    Abstract: Automatically capturing information and performing content searching may include extracting features from data content, for example, captured via an image capturing device or by another method. Features extracted from the data content are structured into an ontology graph representing keywords and contextual relationships. Search queries are generated based on the ontology graph, by inputting the ontology graph to a query generating machine learning model trained to predict one or more search queries. The search queries are executed and one or more search results are presented on a user interface, for example, a display device. Based on received feedback on the search results, the machine learning model is retrained.
