  • Patent number: 11386598
    Abstract: A method and system for the recognition of sensor data, like an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The method includes data/feature enrichment before a learning process. Thus, the learning process can benefit from better data, which includes both raw sensor data and enriched data/features. As a consequence, classification models may become less complex without harming accuracy and, therefore, can be more easily deployed to mobile devices, consuming less processing power and battery.

  • Patent number: 11330077
    Abstract: The described technology relates to rendering a client-side user interface using a server-side cache for providing the displayed data. In an example implementation, in response to a user interface (e.g., dashboard with multiple widgets in a web application) being launched on the client device, the server initiates a refresh of the cache for the widgets; and transmits a first set of data obtained from the cache for widgets in the user interface before the cache is updated in response to the initiated refresh. The first set of data is followed by a second set of data obtained from the cache for at least some of the widgets after the cache is updated in response to the initiated refresh. The client displays the user interface using the second set of data while overwriting, for one or more of the widgets, information previously displayed using the first set of data.

A historical data store is queried to obtain a user status that associates the username identifier and the service provider identifier with a previously used feature, feature-state and a previous use time-stamp. The target data store is queried for the service provider. Determinations are made as to whether previous feature use matches target feature use. Messages are displayed responsive thereto.

  • Patent number: 11151209
    Abstract: A social networking system recommends objects, such as pages, of the social networking system to users of the social networking system based on the location of the user. The social networking system obtains location information identifying the location of the user. Based on the location of the user, the social networking system identifies levels of geographical partitions encompassing the location of the user. For each level of geographical partitions, the social networking system accesses relevant objects of the social networking system with connections to users located within the level of geographical partitions. The social networking system may have determined a term frequency-inverse document frequency (tf-idf) value for each relevant object. Based on the number of connections and the tf-idf value associated with each relevant object, the social networking system merges the relevant objects accessed at each level into a set of relevant objects to recommend to the user.

  • Patent number: 11151219
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a digital document on a receiving mobile device from limited data that is transmitted to the device is disclosed. A shortened form of Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is sent and expanded to a longer URL that contains presentation data. The presentation data may include further nested shortened URLs to retrieve digital document components. Condensing techniques for transferring both presentation and location data further reduce transmission size. The combined retrieved data defines the content and presentation of a generated digital document.

  • Patent number: 11144275
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to sharing content and data across users and devices. A shared folios include media primitives and tools as its constituents. The use of shared folios addresses an issue of reliably and efficiently transfer user activities with data. The use addresses scenarios of both single-user work utilizing multiple devices and collaborative work among users utilizing multiple devices. The media primitive includes content in various data types. The tool include data and access to the data by devices and applications. A data distributor manages automatic synchronization of the folios across devices using centralized and distributed transaction logs The folios are synchronized with resiliency against failure in client devices. The folio and its constituents are interactively accessible through top-level, semi-transparent user interface. The media primitive and the tools may programmatically access local applications to automatically transfer user activities among users and devices.

  • Patent number: 11120408
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for surfacing scheduling conflicts and/or for facilitating appointment scheduling based upon conflict detection. A user may maintain user appointment data comprising user appointments (e.g., calendar entries within a work calendar). Because user activity may not be fully reflected in the appointment data (e.g., no calendar entries for routine grocery shopping, soccer practice, etc.), potential conflicts may exist between user appointments and the true availability of the user. Accordingly, user signals (e.g., email(s), location check-ins, etc. associated with soccer practice) may be evaluated to generate a user inferred behavior pattern that may be used to identify a potential conflict with a user appointment (e.g., where the user consents to the gathering and/or use of such user signals). A warning of the potential conflict may be surfaced to the user (e.g., a Tuesday dinner calendar meeting conflicts with routine soccer practice on Tuesday evenings).
