  • Patent number: 11954162
    Abstract: A client device can identify user data pertaining to use of the client device by a user. The client device can determine at least one persona trait of the user based on the user data pertaining to the use of the client device by the user. The client device can receive persona categorization data, the persona categorization data specifying a plurality of persona categories and, for each persona category, a plurality of persona traits. Based on the at least one determined persona trait, the client device can assign the user to a persona category selected from the plurality of persona categories. Based on the persona category to which the user is assigned, the client device can identify information to present to users who are assigned to the persona category to which the user is assigned. The client device can present to the user the identified information.

  • Publication number: 20200364728
    Abstract: A method of providing a comparison-based ranked output includes extracting a plurality of pairwise comparisons between transaction objects, from a data set comprising transaction histories of one or more users' transactions with transaction objects over time. The method includes determining a plurality of user groups, wherein each user group of the plurality of user groups is associated with a common level feature among a set of transaction objects. For each transaction object, a present height associated with the transaction object based on the extracted plurality of pairwise comparisons is determined. Further, the method includes generating, based on a comparison of present heights of transaction objects associated with the common level feature, a data object comprising a ranking of transaction objects for a user group of the plurality of user groups, and providing the data object to an application to provide a user interface based on the ranking of transaction objects.

  • Patent number: 9953421
    Abstract: A disappearing direction determination device and method, a video camera calibration apparatus and method, a video camera and a computer program product are provided. The device comprises: a moving target detecting unit for detecting in the video image a moving target area where a moving object locates; a feature point extracting unit for extracting at least one feature point on the moving object in the detected moving target area; a moving trajectory obtaining unit for tracking a movement of the feature point in a predetermined number of video image frames to obtain a movement trajectory of the feature point; and a disappearing direction determining unit for determining, according to the movement trajectories of one or more moving objects in the video image, a disappearing direction pointed by a major moving direction of the moving objects. Thus, a disappearing direction and video camera gesture parameters can be determined accurately.
