Abstract: The present application provides for delivering initiation of social rooms for a predicted future event by evaluating a probability of the future event occurring and pre-allocating server resources of the social network platform based on the evaluated probability and subscriptions for the social room. The social networking server may receive a request, from a device of a host user, to create a social room based on a predicted future event. The social networking server may transmit an invitation to user devices on the social network to subscribe to the social room and then receive subscriptions from the user devices to join the social room. Based on an evaluated probability and the number of subscribers, the social networking server may pre-allocate particular server resources for the social room. If the future event occurs, then the social networking server initiates the social room using the pre-allocated particular server resources and automatically joins the subscribers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for shadow detection and reduction during document capture are disclosed herein. Temporary images of hardcopy documents are analyzed to determine the presence of a shadow or hotspot that obscures information of the hardcopy document. In response to detecting the shadow or hotspot, a controllable light source is used to illuminate the hardcopy document at predicted and/or predetermined intensities to minimize or eliminate the shadow on the hardcopy document. A permanent image of the hardcopy document illuminated by the controllable light source at the intensity that minimizes or eliminates the shadow is then stored. In this way, information of the hardcopy document (such as text, color, layout, spacing etc.) is increased in the permanent image and a need for post-processing the permanent image is reduced or eliminated.
