  • Patent number: 11704849
    Abstract: A computing device generates a first set of glyphs from a first data set. Each glyph in the first set of glyphs represents the same set of user-selected columns in a first row of the plurality of rows in the data set. For each glyph in the first set of glyphs, the computing device defines a set of marks to be displayed. Each mark is defined by one or more visual features, with a respective visual feature assigned to each column of the user-selected columns. Each visual feature is displayed with a visual property determined based on a data value in the first row for the respective column. A user specifies a specific visual feature for a first mark from the first set of glyphs. The computing device generates a second set of glyphs. Each glyph in the second set of glyphs includes a mark with the specific visual feature.

  • Patent number: 11693900
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing segments of audio broadcasts in responses to user queries. The segments are provided, for example, in real time, with the segments being precise segments responsive to the search query or other search request, located, isolated, and provided to the requesting party or entity. The queried audio segments are found by matching a medium, known as a “word cloud”, obtained based on the query, with audio segments, obtained based on the query. The word cloud is continuously updated with time relevant terms, associated with the subject of the word cloud. The word cloud is applied to the audio segment to obtain the most relevant audio segments, which are resegmented from the audio segment.

  • Patent number: 11636659
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems for curating virtual models and populating overlays within a virtual environment are described herein. A server may receive a data request from a user electronic device. The data request may comprise a property of interest located at a particular portion of an overall region. The server may then dynamically acquire a virtual model for rendering the property within a virtual environment at the user electronic device based on the data request. The server may then curate the virtual model in accordance with rules that emphasize features associated with the property that are relevant to assessing risks associated with the property when assessing the property. The server may then identify the curated property modeled by the virtual model, obtain annotation records associated with the features of the property, and populate an annotations overlay rendered in the virtual environment with information included in the annotation records.

  • Patent number: 11632596
    Abstract: A method and system for adding overtly human-perceptible supplemental audio content into a media stream to help mask audio effects of an audio watermark in the media stream. A method involves receiving a media stream that defines a sequence of audio content presentable by a content presentation device, modifying the media stream to produce a modified media stream that defines the sequence of audio content, and outputting the modified media stream for presentation by the content presentation device. The modified media stream includes an audio watermark that is machine-detectable to trigger an interactive event. Further, the act of modifying the media stream involves adding into the media stream supplemental audio content coincident with the audio watermark, to help mask the audio watermark in the modified media stream during presentation of the modified media stream by the content presentation device.
