  • Publication number: 20250095690
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11847469
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an intelligent device and a method for controlling a boot screen of the intelligent device, applicable to the intelligent device supporting video hardware decompression. The method comprises steps of: completing hardware initialization operation, and storing a preset image in the first storage area, thereby enabling the image layer to display the preset image; starting a system kernel which controls the video driver module, and starting the video layer through the video driver module; reading the corresponding preset image in the first storage area, converting the preset image into video data, and writing the video data into the second storage area, thereby enabling the video layer to display the video data; and starting an application access to the system. During the whole startup process of the intelligent device, the contents displayed on a screen are all seamlessly connected, so that a phenomenon of black screen does not occur.

  • Publication number: 20230022905
    Abstract: A terminal protector, a connector and a connector assembly are disclosed. the terminal protector has: a side wall; and a base plate connected to the bottom of the side wall and formed with a hole allowing the terminal to pass through. A first elastic cantilever is formed on the side wall of the terminal protector, the first elastic cantilever is a part of the side wall, and the inner and outer surfaces of the first elastic cantilever are respectively flush with the inner and outer surfaces of the side wall, so that the first elastic cantilever does not occupy the space outside the side wall. In the present invention, the elastic cantilever on the terminal protector does not occupy the space outside the side wall of the terminal protector. Therefore, it does not need to occupy the additional space inside the connector, and the effective utilization rate of the internal space of the connector is improved.

  • Patent number: 10831851
    Abstract: 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.
