  • Publication number: 20210304019
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a knowledge capture application automatically captures knowledge associated with computer-based tasks. While a computer-based task is performed during a computer-based session, the knowledge capture application performs operation(s) on a user utterance to automatically generate a knowledge item. The knowledge capture application performs classification operation(s) on the knowledge item to generate a categorized knowledge item that associates the knowledge item with a first category. Subsequently, the knowledge capture application modifies a first element included in a graphical user interface to visually indicate an actual capture level associated with the first category. The knowledge capture application generates a knowledge dataset based on the first categorized knowledge item for storage or display.

  • Patent number: 9772816
    Abstract: Example systems and methods may facilitate processing of voice commands using a hybrid system with automated processing and human guide assistance. An example method includes receiving a speech segment, determining a textual representation of the speech segment, causing one or more guide computing devices to display one or more portions of the textual representation, receiving input data from the one or more guide computing devices that identifies a plurality of chunks of the textual representation, determining an association between the identified chunks of the textual representation and corresponding semantic labels, and determining a digital representation of a task based on the identified chunks of the textual representation and the corresponding semantic labels.

  • Patent number: 6030227
    Abstract: A digital solar system model includes a display with a center representing the sun, and discrete lamps arranged in concentric loops around the sun representing the planetary orbits. The lamps are controlled by a processor. The orbital motion of each planet is represented by sequentially illuminating the lamps in a corresponding orbit. Each planet must wait through a predetermined count between adjacent lamp positions, and the count is proportional to the size of the orbit. Upon startup, the planets are set to their proper relative positions on a default starting date, then set in motion at their proper relative orbital rates. The speed, direction, and starting/stopping of orbital motion are controlled via a motion control keypad. Time passage is shown on a digital date display. Numeric keys are provided on the motion control keypad for entering a GOTO date of a desired Earth year and month within a permitted range of past and future dates.
