Publication number: 20250095690Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for the automatic generation of support videos from a source video. For example, the support video can more deeply explain or elaborate upon content included in source video. In particular, a computing system can obtain a source video and extract one or more sets of textual content associated with the source video. For example, the sets of textual content can include a transcript of speech that occurs within the source video. The computing system can process the one or more sets of textual content with a generative sequence processing model to generate, as an output of the generative sequence processing model, additional textual content for a support video.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Pei-Yu Chi, Sen-Po Hu, Irfan Aziz Essa, Tao Dong

Patent number: 10831851Abstract: The co-browsing system described enables participants to share controlled content during a co-browsing session. A first participant's input on a web page may be collected and transferred to a second participant's computing device. The browser in the second participant's computing device, which is displaying the same web page, may receive the first participant's input and be manipulated by the first participant's input. Consequently, the participants may share a web-browsing experience while they jointly navigate web-related content at the same time, including the content and their activities on web pages, as if they are interacting with the web page on the same screen. Such controlled content co-browsing occurs in a system which has a repository of controlled content items and customer relationship management (CRM) information.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: VEEVA SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Arno Sosna, Timothy S.
