  • Patent number: 11683444
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a video room system that can generate a video room utilizing a cross-application technique by accessing functions of one application based on user interaction within a separate application. In particular, the disclosed systems can generate a video room that remains open for access by a creator device and invitee devices in a casual come-and-go fashion. The disclosed systems can further generate a video room link that is distributable intelligently to grant access to the video room to invitee devices. The disclosed systems can also automatically surface a video room link to an invitee device based on determining a digital connection between the invitee device and the creator device.

  • Patent number: 8788260
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate generation of snippets. In embodiments, text features within a keyword-sentence window are identified. The text features are utilized to determine break features that indicate favorability of breaking at a particular location of the keyword-sentence window. The break features are used to recognize features of partial snippets such that a snippet score to indicate the strength of the partial snippet can be calculated. Snippet scores associated with partial snippets are compared to select an optimal snippet, that is, the snippet having the highest snippet score.
