    Abstract: Disclosed are an online talk game method and system in which a plurality of users interacts and match composition rates by sharing opinions. A server unit announces a talk topic and receives and announces opinions of the users. The server unit receives the user's answer to the question and the expecting rate, calculates the composition rate of the answer, and determines that the smaller a difference between the composition rate and the user's expecting rate, the more advantageous it is, and the larger the difference, the more disadvantageous it is. This talk game can provide an interactive game that allows users to become immersed when a large number of users participate in the talk game, and prevent many ties, prevent collusion between the users, and reduce user confusion.

  • Patent number: 12170860
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for collaboration and view sharing between users when performing editing operations over a shared document. A first portion of a shared document is displayed to a first user in a user interface of a first instance of a collaboration application of a first user. The displayed first portion comprises a first location of the first user within the shared document. In the user interface, an indication specifying a relative locational direction from the first location towards a second location of a second user within the shared document is provided. A second portion of the shared document is being displayed to the second user through a second instance of the collaboration application during a conference call between a set of users, where the displayed second portion includes the second location of the second user within the shared document.

  • Patent number: 12170699
    Abstract: A system and method are used to manage GUI for group video calls. The method ensures effective communication and control over shared video content during group video calls. The method enables to combine feed videos from a plurality of attendee accounts and other shared video content to be displayed in one single slide. Further, the method allows control over slide presentations and positioning of participant videos by cursor movement of the host account holder or the presenter. This allows the participants to follow the presenter, while viewing the presentation slides and other feed videos. Furthermore, the method allows users to switch mouse cursor control and feed video positions between the presenter and the participants by clicking on the video on a primary slot. Additionally, the host has special controls that may be passed to a selected number of participants and the participant feed videos are arranged in two sections.

  • Patent number: 12160483
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing status indicators for various forms of user activity that occurs across different digital contexts of a collaboration platform. A system can monitor activity that a particular user is performing within a particular digital context and provide status indicators to a different user within a different digital context when the monitored activity meets one or more criteria. For example, a system may cause a status indicator to be displayed in association with a data object within the digital context of a message thread when a specific type of user activity is occurring with respect to that data object within the digital context of an application that facilitates editing of the content of the data object. Thus, a system can deliver timely and contextually relevant status indicators about how team members are currently interacting with a data object without users having to switch between digital contexts.

  • Patent number: 12159101
    Abstract: Some embodiments improve the autonomy of a form-filling RPA robot by supplying it with a strategy ranking indicator identifying multiple alternative strategies for filling in a target form field, so that when one strategy fails, the RPA robot may fall back on an alternative strategy. The ranking indicator further ranks the respective form-filling strategies, enabling the RPA robot to choose among the available strategies according to their rank. Some embodiments prioritize higher-ranking strategies. The strategy ranking indicator is dynamically updated to promote successful form-filling strategies and/or demote failing ones, and is made available to other instances of the RPA robot.

  • Patent number: 12125205
    Abstract: The present disclosure is for a system and a method for artificial intelligence (AI) based review of radiologic images as they are being read by a radiologist. The AI review is performed through the use of screen sharing and screen capture approaches allowing an AI model to analyze images without direct access to the raw image files. The AI review may compare user documented findings with AI model-based findings in order to identify discrepancies between the two. The discrepancies can be used as feedback for retraining the model and/or as feedback to the user to aid in education or track and/or improve an individual's review characteristics.

  • Patent number: 12118631
    Abstract: A project cost module-based system according to the present invention gathers and summarizes the total cost of the project and organizes it into a detailed line-item format. The project cost module-based system matches up and confirms the quantity and types of all required materials, labor, and equipment. This project cost module-based system has the ability to understand the electronic design and basic schedule duration constraint data that is fed into it and knows, item by item, how to pinpoint required materials or equipment. This is done with its own built-in intelligence that is generated from a combination of historic data, basic logic, learned adjustments, barcoding, and other identification methods. Then, preferably by way of its own built-in intelligence/database or alternatively by way of other market databases, the project cost module-based system solicits pricing for that material.
