  • Publication number: 20230066050
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations that execute image classification training for domain-specific traffic, where training operations are entirely compliant with data privacy regulations and policies. Image classification model training, as described herein, is configured to classify meaningful image categories in domain-specific scenarios where there is unknown data traffic and strict data compliance requirements that result in privacy-limited image data sets. Iterative image classification training satisfies data compliance requirements through a combination of online image classification training and offline image classification training. This results in tuned image recognition classifiers that have improved accuracy and efficiency over general image recognition classifiers when working with domain-specific data traffic. One or more image recognition classifiers are independently trained and tuned to detect an image class for image classification.

  • Patent number: 8788664
    Abstract: A network address mapping system is described. The network address mapping system can identify a set of Web pages, collects information from the Web pages indicating geographical locations (“geolocations”), and correlate the geolocations with the network addresses from which the identified Web pages are served. The collected information can be weighted based on various factors, such as its relative position in a Web page. The collected information can then be used to identify a geolocation. The network mapping system can deduce geolocations for portions of ranges of network addresses based on the score, and can infer geolocations for other portions based on the deduced geolocations. This mapping can then be stored in a database and provided as a geomapping service. The network address mapping system is able to map network addresses to geographical locations.

  • Patent number: 7607076
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that synchronize a paper document to an associated digital document by establishing a mapping. An embedded interactive code (EIC) Document is created as a digital file that serves as an intermediate tier between the paper document and the digital document. Both the paper document and the EIC document are generated while printing the paper document. The EIC document records the corresponding EIC array allocations and a unique document identification number. An image capturing pen may generate a stroke on any page of paper document. With the EIC document, the methods and apparatuses inform an application the page and location on the page of the stroke.

  • Patent number: 7532366
    Abstract: Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions provide support for the printing of documents containing embedded interactive code information in conjunction with different applications that include Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint®, and Microsoft InfoPath™. With a Microsoft Word document, the contents and the associated portion of the EIC pattern are printed page by page. A virtual printer intercepts a spooled printed job and saves the associated enhanced metafile. Subsequently, the EMF and the associated EIC pattern for each page are printed. With a Microsoft PowerPoint® document, each page is printed with a selected number of slides and with an associated portion of the EIC pattern. A note-taking section and play control buttons may be printed. For a Microsoft InfoPath™ document, an HTML document is obtained from the InfoPath XML document before printing. Microsoft InfoPath prints the image of one page with the associated EIC pattern.
