International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707200

Abstract:

User productivity can be facilitated by providing an interface between a high-level intent and low-level settings that should be configured to achieve the intent. The intent can be expressed in declarative language. The intent can be verified to determine if it conforms to a target, a policy, or both. Policy binding can provide a relationship between the target and the policy. An application view can be provided that allows the user to view a server having one or more databases.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709202, 709206

Abstract:

Described is a technology in which a platform unifies various social network and alerting mechanisms to provide a relationship-based communication network. An affiliation service allows organizations and individuals to connect, grant permissions and share useful information about themselves in the form of relationship-based and other attributes. A publishing service routes that information to the correct recipients, including by matching desired attributes to attributes of clients recipients. A data exchange service facilitates reporting, routing, monitoring and responding to such information, as well as providing relevant external data feeds to clients. In this manner, users and organizations are able to more easily connect and work together to resolve societal problems via a single platform that facilitates user and organizational participation.

G06T 7/70
H04N 5/235
G06T 7/80

Abstract:

Systems and methods directed to adjusting an image based on a detected object depicted in the image are described. The method may include receiving an image from an image sensor, receiving statistical information associated with the image, detecting an object depicted in the image using a deep neural network, identifying object-specific statistical information for the detected object, generating a weighted object-specific parameter based on the object-specific statistical information, generating a weighted-image value based on the weighted object-specific parameter, providing the weighted-image value to the image sensor, where the image sensor is configured to update one or more image sensor parameters based on the weighted-image value, and acquiring an image from the image sensor updated with the one or more image sensor parameters.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are directed to a speech translation system and methods for configuring a translation device included in the translation system. The translation device may include a first speaker element and a second speaker element. In some embodiments, the first speaker element may be configured as a personal-listening speaker, and the second speaker element may be configured as a group-listening speaker. The translation device may be configured to selectively and dynamically utilize one or both of the first speaker element and the second speaker element to facilitate translation services in different contexts. As a result, in such embodiments, the translation device may provide a wider range of user experiences that may facilitate translation services.
