  • Publication number: 20180158352
    Abstract: Techniques for conditional presentation of auxiliary information are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises determining, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, feedback information for a user in response to a media presentation, wherein the feedback information is indicative of a mental state of the user during presentation of the media presentation. The computer-implemented method can further comprise determining content of the media presentation associated with the mental state of the user, and determining auxiliary information about the content based on the mental state of the user. The computer-implemented method can further comprise providing, by the device, the content to a user device during the presentation of the media presentation and for rendering at the user device in association with presentation of the content.

  • Patent number: 9905248
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for inferring explicit user intentions based on user conversation data and associated spatial-temporal data of the user. For example, a method includes detecting a named entity in a conversation of a user communicating on a mobile computing device of the user, obtaining spatio-temporal information associated with the user, wherein the spatio-temporal information comprises information regarding one or more locations of the user and timing of the user's presence at the one or more locations, and utilizing the spatio-temporal information to disambiguate the named entity detected in the conversation of the user. The disambiguated named entity and the spatio-temporal data associated with the user are utilized to determine user intentions and to generate or update user profile information associated with the user.

  • Publication number: 20180018507
    Abstract: Techniques for generating auxiliary information for a media presentation are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, first feedback information for a group of users regarding mental states of the users during a media presentation. The computer-implemented method can further comprise determining, by the device, first parts of the media presentation considered confusing to at least some of the users and second parts of the media presentation considered interesting to at least some of the users based on the first feedback information, and generating, by the device, an index data structure comprising first information identifying the first parts and classifying the first parts as confusing and second information identifying the second parts and classifying the second parts as interesting.

  • Publication number: 20170217497
    Abstract: A load management assembly can manage and/or absorb the energy from an external force applied to a vehicle. The load management assembly includes a frame rail and a mounting bracket coupled to the frame rail. In addition, the load management assembly includes a shield coupled to the frame rail. The shield partly surrounds the mounting bracket in order to protect the mounting bracket from an external force and to redirect a load path of the external force. The load management assembly may further include a reinforcement bracket to assist in directing the load path of the external force. The reinforcement bracket is coupled to the frame rail and may be in contact with the mounting bracket.
