  • Patent number: 11796801
    Abstract: Techniques of displaying content on a transparent display include detecting an individual present with respect to a world side, i.e., facing away from a user of a transparent display, opposite side of the transparent display as the user side. For example, circuitry connected to smartglasses detects the presence of an individual in the vicinity of the world side of a transparent display. In response, the circuitry causes an image of the individual to be generated and, based on the image, the circuitry classifies the individual as being in a state satisfying a set of criteria or not. In some implementations, the set of criteria include the individual being oriented in such a way as to be able to see the document. In response to the individual satisfying the criteria, the circuitry obscures the document from the view of the individual.

  • Patent number: 11764941
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for homomorphic inference on a decision tree (DT) model. In lieu of HE-based inferencing on the decision tree, the inferencing instead is performed on a neural network (NN), which acts as a surrogate. To this end, the neural network is trained to learn DT decision boundaries, preferably without using the original DT model data training points. During training, a random data set is applied to the DT, and expected outputs are recorded. This random data set and the expected outputs are then used to train the neural network such that the outputs of the neural network match the outputs expected from applying the original data set to the DT. Preferably, the neural network has low depth, just a few layers. HE-based inferencing on the decision tree is done using HE inferencing on the shallow neural network. The latter is computationally-efficient and is carried without the need for bootstrapping.

This 3D information may be used to present a visual representation of the object as real-time feedback to a user, indicating confidence of 3D information for regions of the object. Feedback may be a composite image based on surfaces in a 3D model derived from the 3D information given visual characteristics derived from the image frames. The 3D information may be used in a number of ways, including as an input to a 3D printer or an input, representing, in whole or in part, an avatar for a game or other purposes. To enable processing to be performed on a portable device, a portion of the image frames may be selected for processing with higher resolution.

  • Patent number: 11610685
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for cognitive behavioral therapy. A first set of data and a second set of data related to a health attribute are received, over a first time period. The first and second sets of data are displayed in a first and a second graphical item. A graphical button is displayed on the first graphical item and configured to move it on a display. Using the graphical button, the first graphical item is, at least partially, overlaid upon the second graphical item. In response to the overlaying a third set of data is generated and displayed in a third graphical item. The third set of data is at least partially based on associating the first set of data with the second set of data using one or more sets of rules that establish the relationship between the first set of data and the second set of data.

  • Patent number: 11599717
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods are described herein for separately collecting and storing form contents. Different information may be collected from a user on a form. Based on determining that portions of the form request private information, an extended reality (XR) environment may be provided to the user. The user may provide private information via an input method in the XR environment. The user may provide non-private information using a different input method outside of the XR environment. The private information may be processed and stored in a different database as compared to the non-private information. The database storing private information may have a higher security standard than the database storing non-private information.

  • Patent number: 11558450
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for aggregation and management of cloud storage among a plurality of providers. In a first aspect, the invention is directed to file distribution and management across multiple cloud services via a storage manager. The storage manager may aggregate third-party cloud storage provider accounts into a single cloud storage space and load balance files among the third party-accounts as necessary. In one implementation, the storage manager may act as an intermediary, and files may be transferred by the client to the storage manager, which may select and forward the files to a third-party storage provider. File retrieval may be performed similarly, with the client requesting a file from the intermediary storage manager, which may retrieve the file from the corresponding third-party storage provider and forward the file to the client device.

    Abstract: In a method for selecting of a prerecorded media file for superimposing into a video, a video of a scene is displayed on a display device of a mobile electronic device. A location of the scene is determined. A prerecorded video file is selected based at least in part on the location. The prerecorded video file is superimposed over the video, such that the video is partially obscured by the prerecorded video file. The prerecorded video file is played while displaying the video, such that the prerecorded video file and a non-obscured portion of the video are rendered simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 11514591
    Abstract: A system is configured to perform operations includes accessing a set of model points of a model of an anatomic structure of a patient, the model points being associated with a model space. A set of measured points of the anatomic structure of the patient are collected, the measured points being associated with a patient space. The set of model points are registered to the set of measured points using a first set of initial parameters to generate a first transformation. One or more sets of perturbed initial parameters are generated based on the first set of initial parameters. One or more perturbed registration processes are performed to register the set of model points to the set of measured points using the one or more sets of perturbed initial parameters respectively to generate corresponding perturbed transformations. A registration quality indicator is generated based on the first transformation and the one or more perturbed transformations.
