  • Patent number: 10970334
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include method, systems and computer program products for obtaining a scene from a database. Aspects of the invention include receiving a search request for a scene stored in a database including annotated video content. One or more keywords are extracted from the search request. Extended keywords are generated for each keyword. The extended keywords and keywords are compared to the annotated video content to identify target scenes including target scene annotations. A confidence rating is assigned to each of the target scenes based at least in part on a correlation between the target scene annotations for each of the target scenes and the extended keywords and keywords. And at least one of the target scenes are displayed to the user, wherein the at least one of the target scenes is determined based on the confidence ratings.

  • Patent number: 10834543
    Abstract: Initiating a communication group of devices using device vibration includes encoding a message into a vibration signal using an encoder in a master device, the message including a connection request. A vibration pattern is emitted using a vibration motor by controlling the vibration motor to vibrate with a pattern corresponding to modulations of the vibration signal to send the message through a medium in contact with the master device. A response vibration pattern is received from responding devices using a sensor, the response vibration pattern carrying a response message. The response vibration pattern is decoded with a decoder of the master device to extract the response message from the response vibration pattern. A communication group is established at a host according to the response message for communication between the master device and the responding devices.
