Patent number: 11126346Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a digital flash card function in electronic devices. In an embodiment, a digital flash card includes a word or phrase along with the definition of the word or phrase pulled automatically from a glossary or dictionary. The digital flash card may be created through an options menu after selecting a word or phrase, automatically whenever a word or phrase is highlighted by the user, or whenever a word or phrase is looked up. Once the flash cards have been created, they may be organized into various folders or stacks, and in some cases the flash cards may automatically be organized based on the source of the selected word or phrase. Once one or more flash cards have been created, the user may view flash cards, flip them over to view the opposite side, and scroll through the flash cards using various touch screen gestures.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, LLCInventor: Amir Mesguich Havilio

Patent number: 11126795Abstract: A method for analyzing a thought system is described. One or more keywords and a degree of relation between each of the one or more keywords are obtained. An N×N matrix based on the one or more keywords and the degree of relation between each of the one or more keywords are determined. (N?1) eigenfunctions having N-dimensional components and (N?1) eigenvalues is determined from the N×N matrix using the wave equation for quantum theory. A graphical representation based on the (N?1) eigenfunctions and the (N?1) eigenvalues is generated.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: monogoto, Inc.Inventors: Hideshi Hamaguchi, Motoaki Hirayama

Patent number: 11120408Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jagannatha Raju Dantuluri, Karan Singh, Shira Weinberg, Richa Prasad, Colleen Elizabeth Hamilton
