  • Patent number: 12608171
    Abstract: An electronic device can implement a zero-latency digital assistant by capturing audio input from a microphone and using a first processor to write audio data representing the captured audio input to a memory buffer. In response to detecting a user input while capturing the audio input, the device can determine whether the user input meets a predetermined criteria. If the user input meets the criteria, the device can use a second processor to identify and execute a task based on at least a portion of the contents of the memory buffer.

  • Publication number: 20260087811
    Abstract: The video summary system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure identifies objects by transforming text descriptions into text embedding vectors via a text encoder and images into image embedding vectors using an image encoder. By assessing the similarity between these vectors, users can input a description of an object or its actions to detect the said object. This approach mitigates the challenge of monitoring when the object count in the summarized video surpasses that of the original.

  • Patent number: 12143696
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of creating an original video into a short-time summary video. According to the present invention, a summary video is made by focusing on a dynamic object appearing in an original video, but a plurality of objects appearing in the same time period in the original video are made to appear together in the same time period in the summary video. Accordingly, when an event occurs, there is an advantage in that the relevance between objects in the event may be easily identified.

  • Patent number: 11744791
    Abstract: Provided are a cosmetic composition for promoting lipid biosynthesis, a cosmetic composition for inducing differentiation of adipose precursor cells or stem cells into adipocytes, and a cosmetic composition for moisturizing the skin, all of which include an amide-based compound. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention can promote the lipid biosynthesis and can promote expression of PPAR-? and cluster of differentiation 44, which are markers for labeling human adipose tissue-derived stem cells, to promote differentiation of the adipose tissue-derived stem cells into mature adipocytes, thereby improving a decreased volume and an impaired function of an adipose tissue caused due to the involution of the adipose tissue and giving a synergistic effect to the expression of a skin moisturizing factor.
