  • Patent number: 11288513
    Abstract: Described herein is a system for predictive image analysis to provide a response to a user input. To reduce a system response time when responding to user inputs that relate to image data analysis, the system processes data relating to past user inputs to predict when a user may request information relating to image data. Using pattern data (determined by the system), the system determines that a trigger to initiate image analysis occurred. The trigger may indicate that the system is expected to receive a user input relating to image data. The system processes image data, in advance of receiving the user input, to determine and store feature data that can be used to generate an output responsive to a user input. Then when the user input is received, the system sends output data (generated using the determined feature data) responsive to the user input.
