  • Patent number: 12236511
    Abstract: A terminal with two separate displays is provided. The primary display is controlled by a transaction interface for performing transactions. The secondary display is controlled by an animation interface for rendering animations on the secondary display. An agent provides state transitions in the transaction interface to the animation interface and the animation interface transitions the animations rendered on the secondary display based on state changes reported by the agent. The animations rendered on the secondary display provide guidance, positive, and negative feedback to a consumer performing a transaction on the terminal through the transaction interface.

  • Patent number: 12223159
    Abstract: Some disclosed embodiments are directed to methods and systems for performing accessible screen capturing that considers visually impaired users. For example, systems and methods are provided for selecting a screen capture type and determining a screen capture area. Systems temporarily apply the screen capture type to a user display according to the screen capture area and identify an object included in the screen capture area. Systems then obtain application metadata corresponding to the object and generate a screen capture description of the object based on the application metadata corresponding to the object. Subsequently, systems narrate the screen capture description of the object and then generate an image-based screen capture that comprises the object by applying the screen capture type according to the screen capture area and embedding the application metadata into the image-based screen capture.

    Abstract: In examples, a schema augmentation system for exploratory research leverages intelligence from a machine learning model to augment such tasks by leveraging intelligence derived from machine learning capabilities. Augmenting tasks include schematization of content, such as information units and groupings of information units. Based on the schematization of such content, semantic proximities for information units are determined. The semantic proximities may be used to identify and present potentially relevant information units, for example to accelerate the exploratory research task at hand. As such, users engaged in consumption of heterogeneous content (e.g., across client applications and/or content sources), may receive machine-augmented support to find potential information units.

  • Patent number: 11869495
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a standardized voice user interface (VUI) that enables voice to voice natural language understanding (NLU) processing are described. The standardized VUI may be added to speechlets to enable a customer to interact with a business via server(s) using NLU processing. For example, a first user may initiate a first voice interaction using NLU processing with the server(s) and the system may initiate a second voice interaction using NLU processing between the server(s) and a second user. This enables a customer to initiate a transaction (e.g., request information, place an order, make a reservation, etc.) with the business using the speechlet. Thus, the business may use the speechlet to offer services without requiring additional infrastructure or complicated programming to implement.

  • Patent number: 11841870
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein can provide a computing device configured to display on a display screen of the computing device a first window listing a set of entries and a second window that can add entries directly into the set of entries and that can search for entries having selected features. The second window can dynamically display one or more keywords related to an entry as the entry is being created. The keywords can be determined as the entry is created and can be associated with the entry as the entry is added to the set of entries. The second window can receive a search request with the keywords and in response, cause the entries associated with the keywords to be displayed in the first window.

  • Patent number: 11823241
    Abstract: In one example, a content catalog system may process a bulk set of errors to prioritize those errors that may benefit from manual review by a human error administrator. A catalog quality management sub-system of the content catalog system may receive an error output describing a catalog error for a product aspect of a product in a content catalog from an error detection module. The catalog quality management sub-system may categorize the catalog error by a degree of human interaction with an error fix determined from an error metric in the error output. The catalog quality management sub-system may apply an error fix to the catalog error based on the degree of human interaction.

  • Patent number: 11806620
    Abstract: The generation, association, and display of in-game tags are disclosed. Such tags introduce an additional dimension of community participation to both single and multiplayer games. Through such tags, players are empowered to communicate through filtered text messages and images as well as audio clips that other game players, including top rated players, have generated and placed at particular coordinates and/or in context of particular events within the game space. Users may generate the tags using standard push-button commands, gestures via gesture-recognition commands, or voice commands such as “drop tag.” The presently described in-game tags and associated user generated content further allow for label based searches with respect to game play, as well as community participation and feedback.

  • Patent number: 11803690
    Abstract: A thumbnail preview of a file enables a user to recognize the file without opening it. An algorithmic approach to generating simulated thumbnail previews is provided. This approach includes executing rules for determining and implementing one or more rendering schemas to simulate different content types within a portion of a file. A simulated thumbnail preview is generated from the simulated content types based on a file structure. Since users may rely on the general structure and distinguishing content elements of a thumbnail for recognizing a file, these distinguishing elements are maintained based on different rendering schemas used to create a simulated thumbnail. Moreover, the algorithmic approach promotes consistent simulated thumbnails across clients, regardless of client processing capabilities, form factors, customized theming, or the like. Based on the rules for rendering various content types, the simulated thumbnails are also consistently generated across documents.

  • Patent number: 11748380
    Abstract: Data processing techniques are described to obtain user data previously collected when a user is requested to complete application forms associated with multiple servers. The application forms may include some fields that may be in common and that may request the same user data. For each application form requested by the user, the data processing techniques can identify and obtain the relevant previously collected data about the user for the application form. The application form for a product can have certain fields that may be pre-filled based on the relevant and/or non-confidential previously collected user data. The data processing techniques can also provide an estimate of the time that may be needed by the user to complete at least one application form so that the user can obtain a requested product.
