Abstract: A user interface is displayed to enable a user to initiate a search based on a selected reference document. The UI displays options that enable the user to narrow the search, and the UI receives from the user a selection of portions of the reference document to search against and any annotations. A query is submitted to find a set of patents that are similar to the reference document, and a set of matching patents is received. Text of the reference document and the annotations are input to into a ML model to determine the meanings of words in the reference document. Text of the matching patents are input to the ML model to determine meanings of words in the matching patents. The reference document is searched to find matches between the claims from the matching patents and the reference document. A ranked set of the patents is then displayed.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments perform patent claims analysis using preconditioning rules to determine relevant portions of a reference document. A query is submitted to find a set of patents that are similar to the reference document. A set of matching patents from the query are received and claim construction rules are used to determine how a meaning of claim elements of the patents will be ascertained in further analysis. Patent infringement rules and an artificial intelligence (AI) system are used to search the relevant portions of the reference document with the claim constructed claim elements of the patents returned from the search. The set of patents are ranked based on assigned confidence scores indicating a degree to which respective claim elements match the relevant portions of the reference document, and the results are presented to a client device. The system may a machine learning model and a natural language understanding (NLU) system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a portable electronic imaging device, comprising a display screen for displaying objects including any combination of digital still images, video clips, menu items, and icons; and a navigation controller comprising navigation keys for allowing a user to navigate between the displayed objects, wherein the user may select a currently displayed object without moving a finger from a navigation key last pressed, thereby implementing navigation and select functions on a single controller.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and system for implementing internet access to images stored in a digital image capture unit including an imaging device and a display. The image capture unit (e.g., a digital camera) is used to capture images and store them within its internal memory. The image capture unit accesses a ID server via the internet and registers its identity and internet address with the web server. A user subsequently accesses the image capture unit by entering the identity of the image capture unit into his web browser. The web browser, using standard internet protocols, then queries the ID server with the identity of the image capture unit and retrieves the internet address. The internet address is subsequently used to access a web page hosted by the image capture unit and display the web page to the user. The web page provides access to the stored images within the image capture unit.

Abstract: A method and systems for automatically configuring a hand-held camera to improve quality of an image taken with the camera of a particular subject at a photo opportunity site is disclosed. First, values for a set of camera setting parameters are optimized to enhance image quality of a picture taken at that location are determined. Next, wireless communication with the camera is established, and the set of setting parameter values are pushed to camera via the wireless communication to automatically configure the camera to take a picture of the subject.
