Patent number: 11361475Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for generating a file color scheme. The method includes: acquiring a picture in a target file (S101); performing color analysis on the picture to obtain a first color set of the picture and then determining a target color set of the target file (S102); determining a collocated color set that matches the color set (S103); generating a color scheme of the target file using the collocated color set (S104). The above solution can achieve the generation of a color scheme according to a color of a picture in the file, reducing the workload of the user in generating the color scheme, and improving the visual effect of the target file.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Inventor: Xian Zhou

Patent number: 11361447Abstract: In operating an ecommerce marketplace, pre-generated metadata is used to transform images after a request is received, in real-time, and with low latency. To accomplish the high-speed image transformation, an offline annotation of relevant image features is obtained using machine learning and metadata is stored based upon the results. The metadata is then used to perform the high-speed image transformation at request time. The transformations can include image cropping, adjustment in saturation, contrast, brightness, extracting portions of the image, etc. In one example, the metadata includes a bounding box giving coordinates of how to crop an image so that the image can be cropped without analyzing content or context of the image. Instead, to obtain the coordinates of the bounding box, content and context of the image are analyzed in pre-request processing. In this way, when the request is received, the more difficult and time-consuming processing is already completed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sabine Sternig, Luitpold Staudigl, Pablo Barbachano, Thomas Sydney Austin Wallis, Muhammad Bilal Javed, Michael Donoser

Patent number: 11341125Abstract: This application relates to updating collection views in a computing device. A method includes receiving a first data array of a current view of a data collection and receiving a second data array of a future view of the data collection. The method also includes generating a difference data array that, based on a determination that the first data array element is equal to the second data array element, includes the second data array element. The method also includes, based on whether the first data array element is not included in the second data array and/or the second data array element is not included in the first data array, indicating, in the difference data array, that the first data array element is not in the future view or that the second data array element is not in the current view.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Inventors: Stephen R. Breen, Scott C. Perry

Patent number: 11340763Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for non-linear video navigation. The method, computer program product and computer system may include a computing device that collects source content and source content metadata from a content device. The computing device may extract the metadata from the source content and store the source content and the metadata on a server. The computing device may receive user profile data from a user device. The computing device may map the semantic data of the source content, the metadata, and the user profile data to a knowledge graph. The computing device may create navigational panels for navigating the source content based on the knowledge graph, the navigational panels enabling non-linear navigation of the source content by a user. The computing device may provide the navigational panels to the user device.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Malolan Chetlur, Danish Contractor, Bikram Sengupta

Patent number: 11334570Abstract: An electronic medical records (EMR) system that enables a user to import paper-based clinical form templates (typically Word documents) and insert data tags in the data fields on the templates. This approach allows the user to retrieve clinical data from user inputs and from hospital recordkeeping systems, such as HIS, LIS, RIS/PACS, and others to generate EMR forms. Medical personnel can then access the data to generate descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive analytics including vital sign charts, drug interaction warnings, and drug recommendations. The system also enables secure data sharing between healthcare facilities using a blockchain system or a FHIR server. Upon signing an EMR form with one or more electronic signatures, the system generates a digitized image including images of the electronic signatures. The system generates hash of the digitized image and store the hash to the blockchain system, wherein the hash is used to verify the signed EMR form.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: INFOMED VIET NAMInventor: Francis Tuan Anh Nguyen

Patent number: 11327220Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus including a display panel, a backlight disposed in the rear of the display panel, an optical sheet disposed between the display panel and the backlight and on which support slots are provided, and a middle mold including support protrusions to support the optical sheet. The support protrusion is formed such that a central portion of a front surface thereof has an updown width larger than that of the support slot and opposite sides of the front surface thereof have an up-down width smaller than that of the support slot, so that the front end of the support protrusion easily passes through the support slot and the optical sheet is prevented from being separated from the support protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yeon Ho Kim, Dae Jin Kim, Heong Seog Lee, Hyun Jun Jung, Hyun Joong Chae

Patent number: 11308258Abstract: Aspects receiving, by a processor, observation data about an activity. The processor identifies overlapping content between the observation data and a base electronic document. The order of the overlapping content in the observation data is compared, by the processor, to the order of the overlapping content in the base electronic document. The processor changes an order of content in the base electronic document to create a modified electronic document in response to the order of the overlapping content in the observation data being different than the order of the overlapping content in the base electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John S.
