Patent number: 11704984Abstract: A management server receives a request to view video content; access a stream of video content corresponding to the request; access and store, in one or more databases, metadata associated with the video content, wherein the metadata includes a plurality of detections and was generated by the video gateway device based on an analysis of the video content and previously uploaded to a remote computing device; generating and causing display of a user interface that includes: the stream of the video content, a seek bar configured to be manipulated by a user so that the user can navigate through the video content, and the metadata overlaid on the seek bar such that the plurality of detections are overlaid at locations on the seek bar corresponding to when the plurality of detections were detected.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Saleh ElHattab, Kathryn Siegel, Noah Paul Gonzales, Etienne Jean-Claude Dejoie, Maxwell Coleman Goldberg, Joyce Tian Chen, Kelsey Michelle Lam, Adam Eric Funkenbusch, Karthikram Rajadurai, Rhea Lin, Sebastian Richard Sangervasi, Aidan Siobhan Madigan-Curtis, William Arthur Hughes

Patent number: 11188046Abstract: One or more video gateway devices configured to: access pre-configured criteria including at least a first condition, a second condition, and a first event; access video content captured by cameras configured to capture video of areas of a manufacturing facility; determine, based on an analysis of the video content, that the first condition is satisfied; access sensor data from one or more sensors; determine, based on an analysis of the sensor data, that the second condition is satisfied; and based on determining that the first and second conditions are satisfied, cause the first event to be executed.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2021Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Samsara Inc.Inventors: Saleh ElHattab, Kathryn Siegel, Noah Paul Gonzales, Etienne Jean-Claude Dejoie, Maxwell Coleman Goldberg, Joyce Tian Chen, Kelsey Michelle Lam, Adam Eric Funkenbusch, Karthikram Rajadurai, Rhea Lin, Sebastian Richard Sangervasi, Aidan Siobhan Madigan-Curtis, William Arthur Hughes

Patent number: 10318640Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide techniques for evaluating when words or phrases of a translation were generated with a low degree of confidence, and conveying this information when the translation is presented. For example, if a source language word is encountered in source material for translation, but the source language word was only encountered a few times (or not at all) in the training data used to train the translation system, then the resulting translation may be flagged as being of low confidence. Other situations, such as the generation of two equally-likely translations, or translation system model disagreement, may also indicate a questionable translation. When the translation is displayed, questionable words and phrases may be flagged, and possible alternative translations may be presented. If one of the alternatives is selected, this information may be used to update the translation system's models in order to improve translation quality in the future.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: William Arthur Hughes, Matthias Gerhard Eck, Kay Rottmann

Patent number: 9648117Abstract: Techniques for receiving and processing detected events are provided. A bit array may be received from a device. Each bit value in the bit array may indicate whether a user initiated event relating to interaction with a website was detected by the device. Data regarding a start time associated with the bit array may be received. Each bit value in the bit array is associated with a time increment after the start time.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Zoe Abrams Bayen, Jordan William Frank, Aleksander Gorajek, William Arthur Hughes, Thomas M.
