摘要:
Multiple users access a collaborative data-sharing system during a data-sharing event. Each user can establish the level of sharing to be allowed with each other user and filtering criteria for filtering the data before it is provided to the other users. Data can be extracted from a number of different sources, including data input by other users and/or previously created information sources. For example, slides from a presentation on a similar topic may be identified and included by a user as a potential source of information to be used by other users. Shared data can be displayed on devices used by users to communicate with the collaborative data-sharing system. A user can selected data provided by the collaborative data-sharing system, which was obtained from the data input by other users and/or from the identified additional data sources and added to that user's data as data entered by that user.

In one embodiment, the present invention extracts video regions of interest from one or more videos and generates a highly condensed visual summary of the videos. The video regions of interest are extracted based on to energy, movement, face or other object detection methods, associated data or external input, or some other feature of the video. In another embodiment, the present invention extracts regions of interest from images and generates highly condensed visual summaries of the images. The highly condensed visual summary is generated by laying out germs on a canvas and then filling the spaces between the germs. The result is a visual summary that resembles a stained glass window having cells of varying shape. The germs may be laid out by temporal order, color histogram, similarity, according to a desired pattern, size, or some other manner. The people, objects and other visual content in the germs appear larger and become easier to see. The visual summary of the present invention utilizes important regions within the key frames, leading to more condensed summaries that are well suitable for small screens.

A multi-player solitaire or multi-player video game that generates tags for digital images. A tabletop or computer screen video game provides an enjoyable way for collocated players to view, share, talk about and, in the process tag photos. The video games can generate valuable text labels for photos with multiple levels of specificity and named entities. These labels can be used to help manage and index collections of photos for browsing and retrieval.

A method for creating multimedia meeting minutes is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method receives notations from a user. As each notation is received, context information is recorded with the notation. The context information is used to select pertinent portions of multimedia information received concurrently with the notations. An association is then created between the notation and each selected portion of the multimedia information. These associations may be used to access the selected portions of the multimedia information from the notations. The notations and their respective associations are deposited for future retrieval. The deposited notations may be revised by receiving an altered copy of the notations from a user. The deposited notations are modified in accordance with the altered copy.

Systems and methods for creating and updating interactive 3D visualizations of media indices wherein separate indices are located above and below a ground plane. The indices are organized in table structure defined by two axes and provide links to the media that is indexed. Various visual characteristics of the indices communicate characteristics of the media that is indexed as well as various user defined or group defined information relating to the indexed media.

User behavior while interacting with one or more first representations of digital content can be monitored. Interaction information can be determined by monitoring the user behavior while interacting. Interaction information can include information identifying interaction areas of the first representation, degree of interaction information, and sequence of interaction information. The interaction information can be maintained and used to deform a second representation of digital content. The first and second representations can be of the same or different digital content.

A heuristically derived unsuitability score is computed and used as an input for metaphorical springs in which each selected video segment from recorded video of a video camera is associated with a metaphorical spring that maintains the selected segment at an optimal length while being responsive to a global system spring whose spring strength determines a final length of a final edited output video. Accordingly, user-specified changes to the final length of the final output video automatically lengthen or shorten the lengths of individual segments in such a way that high quality video segments having low unsuitability scores are emphasized over low quality video segments having high unsuitability scores.

A system for automatically generating indexes for handwritten notes captured as digital ink in a computer is disclosed. Ink words are identified, and features of the ink words are computed. Pairwise distances or match scores, which measure the distance in the features between two ink words, are calculated. A clustering technique selects equivalence classes of ink words. Index terms, which are non-uniform through-out the notes, are selected from the equivalence classes of ink words. The system generates an index from the index terms, including displaying pages numbers where the index terms are located in the notes as well as hyper-linking the index terms. A technique to identify a threshold for use in clustering the ink words is also disclosed.

Domain objects for use in a freeform graphics system. Domain objects are context specific representations of information that are used in a freeform graphics system. Domain objects are represented in a freeform graphics system by a graphic object (icon) representing an instance of the domain object. The icon representing a domain object may be manipulated like any other graphic object. Domain objects are defined by a domain object class which define attributes, a set of action rules and layouts. The attributes describe the information or data associated with the domain object. The set of action rules map user actions and system events to operations that may be performed on the domain object. The layouts define how domain object information is displayed as an icon.

The spatial separations between clusters of objects on the electronic work surface are analyzed to automatically generate borders, which may be used in at least two manners. The borders may become explicit editable borders within an output image. Alternatively, the borders created may be implicit ephemeral borders. According to an aspect, a method uses the sufficient stability grouping technique to determine grouping of elements in the input image array into the text lines in the output text lines array. According to another aspect, a method uses the sufficient stability grouping technique to determine the amount of vertical expansion to apply to each text line so as to create text regions in the output array which correspond to the text lines in the input text lines array. According to yet another aspect, a method takes the text regions array as input and extracts enclosure borders from the text regions. The method according to this aspect applies distance thresholding and edge labeling based upon the contents of the text lines array. According to still another aspect, a method extracts structured borders from the text regions array. The method according to this aspect applies two-dimensional projection operations based upon the contents of the text lines array. According to yet still another aspect, a method extracts freeform linear borders from the text regions array. The freeform linear borders result from a Voronoi tesselation performed upon the contents of text regions array.
