摘要： Systems and methods for determining the location of a microphone by using sounds played from loudspeakers at known locations. Systems and methods may thereby require a minimal level of infrastructure, using sounds that would naturally be played in the environment. Systems and methods may thereby allow devices such as smart-phones, tablets, laptops or portable microphones to determine their location in indoor settings, where Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) systems may not work reliably.

摘要： Described is a system and methods for embedding standard video-taking heuristics into video-recording devices to help improve the quality of captured video for consumer devices. The described approach uses a combination of audio, visual, and haptic feedback that responds to video as it is recorded. This feedback can help users compose better shots as well as help them develop an understanding of the fundamentals of good video-taking.

摘要： A system and a method for sharing web pages. In some embodiments, the following operations are preformed at a client computer system having one or more processors that execute one or more programs stored in memory of the client computer system. A representation of a web page that is displayed in a window of a web browser in a user interface of the client computer system is generated. The representation of the web page is partitioned into a plurality of tiles based on a document object model of the web page. For each tile in the plurality of tiles, it is determined whether the tile has changed relative to a previous version of the tile. In response to determining that the tile has changed, the tile that has changed is sent to a server.

摘要： The subject invention relates to a system and method for video summarization, and more specifically to a system for segmenting and classifying data from a video in order to create a summary video that preserves and summarizes relevant content. In one embodiment, the system first extracts appearance, motion, and audio features from a video in order to create video segments corresponding to the extracted features. The video segments are then classified as dynamic or static depending on the appearance-based and motion-based features extracted from each video segment. The classified video segments are then grouped into clusters to eliminate redundant content. Select video segments from each cluster are selected as summary segments, and the summary segments are compiled to form a summary video. The parameters for any of the steps in the summarization of the video can be altered so that a user can adapt the system to any type of video, although the system is designed to summarize unstructured videos where the content is unknown. In another aspect, audio features can also be used to further summarize video with certain audio properties.

摘要： The invention displays video search results in a form that makes it easy for users to determine which results are truly relevant. Each story returned as a search result is visualized as a collage of keyframes from the story's shots. The selected keyframes and their sizes depend on the corresponding shots' respective relevance. Shot relevance depends on the search retrieval score of the shot and, in some embodiments, also depends on the search retrieval score of the shot's parent story. Once areas have been determined, the keyframes are scaled and/or cropped to fit into the area. In one embodiment, users can mark one or more shots as being relevant to the search. In one embodiment, a timeline is created and displayed with one or more neighbor stories that are each part of the video and which are closest in time of creation to the selected story.

摘要： Example embodiments described herein are directed to utilizing image matching technology to allow people to use their mobile device to setup scan workflows (or “Scan Flows”) in advance of a future scanning operation. Using an application on a mobile device, the user takes a photo of the first page of a document that he/she will scan at some later time and associates the image of the document with a simple workflow (e.g., where to store the document once the document has been scanned). Additional workflow actions may include automatic document sharing and notification, automatic document segmentation, and automatic document cropping.

摘要： A system and method for identifying key frames of a presentation video that include stationary informational content. A sequence of frames is obtained from a presentation video and differences of pixel values between consecutive frames of the sequence of frames are computed. Sets of consecutive frames that are stationary are identified, wherein consecutive frames that are stationary have a proportion of changed pixel values below a first predetermined threshold, and wherein pixel values are deemed to be changed when the difference between the pixel values for corresponding pixels in consecutive frames exceeds a second predetermined threshold. Next, a set of key frames that include stationary informational content is retained. The set of key frames that include stationary informational content is then displayed for user interaction.
