  • Publication number: 20240331257
    Abstract: This application describes an animation data generation method and apparatus, and a related product, which may be applied to scenarios such as a cloud technology, artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent transportation, assisted driving, digital human, virtual human, gaming, virtual reality, and extended reality (XR). Features of a virtual object in a virtual scene are obtained, and animation data of the virtual object is generated through a trained neural network based on the features. The use of the neural network omits storage of massive data into an internal memory and query of the massive data for a matched animation during generation of the animation data, and only requires storage of weight data related to the neural network in advance. Therefore, only a small internal memory is occupied, thereby avoiding problems such as large internal memory occupation and poor query performance during generation of the animation data.

  • Publication number: 20220335206
    Abstract: A method for editing and updating content of a collaborative document within a preview user interface is provided. The method includes receiving, by a content management platform, a request for a document stored within the content management platform in a format of a first application, wherein the request is received from a client device of a first user of the content management platform via a second application that is different from the first application, and wherein the document includes a first comment provided by a second user of the content management platform at a first point in time with respect to a first portion of the collaborative document.

  • Patent number: 11295060
    Abstract: A method for editing and updating content of a collaborative document within a preview user interface is provided. The method includes a content management platform receives a request for a file stored which is stored in a third-party application format. The system causes a rendered graphical image of the file to be presented within a preview user interface. The rendered graphical image of the file represents a view of the file as if opened within a third-party application. The system receives from the preview user interface, content associated with a portion of the file. The system generates a new version of the file that includes the content associated with the portion of the file.

  • Patent number: 11138743
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for a synchronous motion of a human body model, where the method includes: capturing a real-time image of a real human body; determining size change information according to the real-time image, where the size change information is used to represent a size change of at least part of the real human body in the real-time image; determining motion information according to the size change information, where the motion information is used to represent a position change of the human body model along a depth direction in a three-dimensional scene, and the human body model is used to simulate the real human body; and changing a position of the human body model in the three-dimensional scene according to the motion information. The disclosure achieves a forward or backward synchronous motion between a human body model and a real human body.
