Annotation Control Patents (Class 715/230)
  • Patent number: 11983154
    Abstract: A recipe management system includes a versioning system that tracks the revision history of templates and their child instances. Modifications to templates and instances create new records with new primary key identifiers and version identifiers. However, each new version of a template or instance has the same root identifier as the prior versions. When a template is modified, a flag is set in its child instances, but they are not modified automatically. When an instance is modified, it has no effect on the parent template. At runtime, a recipe model is loaded to an equipment model to execute a recipe on a piece of equipment. Only approved versions of equipment models are used during execution, even if newer versions exist. During execution, new equipment models can be created. The recipe management system includes an execution engine that can be hosted as a standalone executable or in a system platform.

  • Patent number: 11978237
    Abstract: Speed of first work is compared with speed of second work based on a first working period when a worker is caused to perform the first work of setting annotation data to first image data and a second working period when the worker is caused to perform the second work of correcting advance annotation data set based on a recognition result obtained by causing a predetermined recognizer to recognize the first image data, and, in a case where the first work is faster than the second work, the worker is requested to correct second image data in which advance annotation data is not set, while, in a case where the second work is faster than the first work, the worker is requested to correct advance annotation data set based on a recognition result obtained by causing the recognizer to recognize the second image data.

    Abstract: At least selectively utilizing a large language model (LLM) in generating a natural language (NL) based summary to be rendered in response to a query. In some implementations, in generating the NL based summary additional content is processed using the LLM. The additional content is in addition to query content of the query itself and, in generating the NL based summary, can be processed using the LLM and along with the query content—or even independent of the query content. Processing the additional content can, for example, mitigate occurrences of the NL based summary including inaccuracies and/or can mitigate occurrences of the NL based summary being over-specified and/or under-specified.

  • Patent number: 11436403
    Abstract: The present application provides an online document commenting method and apparatus. In an embodiment of the method, an operation of a user on a display interface is monitored, and a commenting behavior of commenting on a first document is recognized. The format of the first document is acquired when the commenting behavior is recognized, and the format of the first document is determined whether a pre-set format. The format of the first document is converted in order to generate a second document when the format of the first document is not the pre-set format, wherein the format of the second document is the pre-set format. The comment information regarding the second document is received and displayed. By means of the method, it is possible to present comment content to a user having a comment requirement, and not present the comment content to a user having no comment requirement.

  • Patent number: 11409950
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement an annotation mechanism allows users to annotate documents with annotations for processing by a cognitive medical system. The annotation mechanism receives, via a user interface, a user selection of an electronic document for annotation, and determines one or more domains associated with the selected electronic document from an analysis of metadata associated with the selected electronic document. The annotation mechanism retrieves a predefined set of annotations associated with each determined domain, and presents the predefined set of annotations as user selectable elements. The annotation mechanism receives, via the user interface, a selection of one or more annotations in the predefined set of annotations to be associated with the selected portion of the selected electronic document, and generates annotation metadata associating the selected portion using the selected one or more annotations.

  • Patent number: 11336523
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a history walker interface to a time-based data structure are disclosed. A time-based data structure may contain information about updates to a set of records that change periodically over time. For example, a set of records that record state transitions of a task item as the task item progresses through its life cycle. An example task item may be represented by a change request or incident report in a help desk software application. The task item begins with an “open” state and may transition through any number of states (e.g., assigned, on-hold, test, customer response requested, etc.) on its way to ultimately being “closed” as completed. A history walker interface may assist application developers when creating applications to indicate how the task item transitioned through its different states throughout its lifecycle.
