Patent number: 11017772Abstract: Audio content associated with a received verbal utterance is received. An operational meaning of the received verbal utterance comprising a compound input is recognized and determined at least in part by: determining that a first subset of the received verbal utterance is associated with a first recognized input; determining that a second subset of the received verbal utterance is associated with a second recognized input; and storing data that associates with a scene identifier a set of commands that includes a first command associated with the first recognized input and a second command associated with the second recognized input.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Josh.ai, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Earl Gill, Alex Nathan Capecelatro

Patent number: 10714087Abstract: Audio content associated with a verbal utterance is received. An operational meaning of a received verbal utterance comprising a compound input is recognized and determined, at least in part by: determining that a first subset of the received verbal utterance is associated with a first recognized input; determining whether a meaning of a remaining portion of the received verbal utterance other than the first subset is recognized as being associated with a second recognized input; and based at least in part on a determination that the meaning of the remaining portion of the received verbal utterance is recognized as being associated with said second recognized input, concluding that the verbal utterance comprises a compound input comprising the first and second recognized inputs.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Josh.ai LLCInventors: Timothy Earl Gill, Alex Nathan Capecelatro

Patent number: 10649423Abstract: A currently touched position on a capacitive touch interface is determined based at least in part on sensing a capacitance associated with the currently touched position along a geometric shape, wherein the capacitive touch interface comprises a touchable surface at least a portion of which defines the geometric shape. The currently touched position is mapped to a corresponding value of an attribute associated with a current context. The corresponding value of the attribute is used to operate an external system associated with the current context in a manner determined at least in part by the corresponding value of the attribute. A feedback associated with the determined currently touched position and the current context is provided via the capacitive touch interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Josh.ai LLCInventors: Timothy Earl Gill, Alex Nathan Capecelatro, Jason Hsin, Paul Philip Russo

Patent number: 6081262Abstract: The multi-media presentation generation system combines media objects of multiple diverse types into an integrated multi-media presentation. The resultant multi-media presentation can be defined in an output-independent representation, which the multi-media presentation generation system converts into a representation that is optimized for the destination storage and/or presentation medium selected by the author. The multi-media presentation generation system uses a page based document layout paradigm to regulate the spatial relationships among the plurality of objects contained within the multi-media presentation. The page based document layout system partitions document pages, as defined by the author, into a plurality of objects, each of which is independently editable by the author. A multi-media authoring tool extends the capabilities of the page based document layout system to enable an author to merge both static and dynamic objects in a page layout environment to create the multi-media presentation.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1996Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Quark, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Earl Gill, David Arthur Knoshaug, Zachary Tyler Nies, Edwin Van Horn Post

Patent number: 6005560Abstract: A multi-media presentation system is disclosed for coordinating access to multi-media presentation data and related information. The multi-media presentation data typically includes text, image data and layout data. The related information is stored in an item header file, as well as in a number of records. The system includes a network of computers including computers dedicated to performing certain tasks related to obtaining multi-media presentation data and such related information. To coordinate the multi-media presentation process, the ability to modify content contained in an item file is limited while certain of the records that include useful information related to the same item file are separately available for other network staff members. The system also generates watch records to notify staff members of the current status of, availability of, or to provide other information related to, a multi-media object of interest.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1997Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Quark, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Earl Gill, Kevin David Murray, John David Williams, Jr., Bradley Neal Woods, Julie Lynn Bucknam
