  • Patent number: 11609732
    Abstract: In an information processing device, a controller displays a database image in a first display region on a display at a first display scale. The database image represents at least partial data included in a database. The controller receives a specific operation, and displays a partial enlarged image, in a second display region on the display at a second display scale greater than the first display scale in response to reception of the specific operation. The partial enlarged image corresponds to an extraction image in a partial extraction region in the database image and is an enlarged image of the extraction image so that the partial enlarged image is displayed in the second display region at the second display scale. The second display region overlaps at most a portion of the first display region. The controller generates print data including at least partial data included in the database.

  • Patent number: 11567642
    Abstract: Contextual paste target prediction is used to predict one or more target applications for a paste action, and do so based upon a context associated with the content that has previously been selected and copied. The results of the prediction may be used to present to a user one or more user controls to enable the user to activate one or more predicted application, and in some instances, additionally configure a state of a predicted application to use the selected and copied content once activated. As such, upon completing a copy action, a user may, in some instances, be provided with an ability to quickly switch to an application into which the user was intending to paste the content. This can provide a simpler user interface in a device such as phones and tablet computers with limited display size and limited input device facilities. It can result in a paste operation into a different application with fewer steps than is possible conventionally.

  • Patent number: 11552816
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a system that can generate targeted positioning of message content for multi-user communication interfaces. In some configurations a system may generate a user interface that displays a number of video stream renderings, wherein individual video stream renderings, e.g., thumbnail views, show a participant of a communication session. When one of the participants sends the user a private message, the system renders at least a portion of the private message in a semi-transparent format as an overlay on the video rendering of the sender. This allows a traditional video stream interface to also function as an organizer for private messages sent to a particular user. This user interface format allows a user to readily identify a broader perspective of chat activity without requiring a user to enter specific chat user interfaces or provide a number of manual input entries to view the private chat content.

  • Patent number: 11532048
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage and processing claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. To aid in damage analysis, the server may also interface with various internal and external databases storing reference images of undamaged items and cost estimate information for repairing previously analyzed damages to similar items. Further still, the server may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.

  • Patent number: 11216650
    Abstract: A server including a processor to receive an electronic photo having at least one face from a user and compare the electronic photo with a template having a design element, and a computer implemented algorithm. The processor compares the electronic photo to the template and determines if the face is overlapped by the design element or if the face is cropped out of the photo slot. The processor presents the template combined with the electronic photo to the user only if the design element of the template does not overlap the face in the electronic photo. Multiple templates are compared to the electronic photo, and the templates are displayed based on a priority using criteria.

  • Patent number: 11194840
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a computer system including a knowledge graph storing a plurality of entities. The computer system compares source documents within an enterprise intranet to a plurality of templates defining potential entity attributes to identify extracts matching at least one of the plurality of templates. The computer system parses the extracts according to respective templates of the plurality of templates that match the extracts to determine instances. The computer system performs incremental clustering on a number of the instances to determine potential entity names. The computer system queries the knowledge graph with the potential entity names to obtain a set of candidate entity records. The computer system links the potential entity names with at least partial matching ones of the set of candidate entity records to define updated matching candidate entity records. The computer system updates the knowledge graph with the updated matching candidate entity records.
