  • Patent number: 11917130
    Abstract: A video coding mechanism for viewpoint dependent video coding is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a spherical video signal stitched from multiple directional video streams. The spherical video signal is mapped into a plurality of sub-picture video signals each containing a sequence of sub-pictures. The plurality of sub-picture video signals, are encoded as a plurality of sub-picture bitstreams, such that, when decoded at a decoder, a value of each sample in each sub-picture is identical to a value of a corresponding sample in a decoded entire picture composed from the sub-pictures. The plurality of sub-picture bitstreams are composed into a plurality of sub-picture tracks with an indication that the sub-picture tracks are conforming to a particular video profile. The sub-picture bitstreams are transmitted toward a decoder to support decoding and displaying virtual reality video viewport.

  • Publication number: 20230251760
    Abstract: Using a set of menu to key process mappings, historical menu usage data for an application is aggregated into aggregated key process usage data. A set of key process association rules, each comprising a consequent key process given a particular antecedent key process, is generated. From the set of key process association rules and a set of ranked menus by frequency of usage within each key process, a set of model menu recommendations is generated. According to an application usage history, a menu frequency ratio, and a confidence value of a modelled next menu, the set of menu recommendations is scored. A scored menu recommendation having a rank below a threshold rank is pruned from a set of menu items of the application ranked according to their scores. The pruned set of scored menu recommendations is presented for selection instead of the set of menu items.

  • Publication number: 20230237076
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for automatically drawing infographics. Variables of a dataset are received from a computing device that were selected by the user of the computing device. For those selected variables that are associated with a data model, a procedure to draw infographics for variables assigned or not assigned the role of a target using the data model associated with each of the variables assigned or not assigned the role of target, respectively, is implemented. Alternatively, if the selected variables are not associated with a data model, then such variables are assigned a level of measurement as well as assigned the role of input. Such assignments become the data model which, along with the metadata (e.g., values of the variable) obtained by parsing the original data, are used to implement the procedure to draw infographics for variables not assigned the role of a target.
