Systems and methods for direct video retouching for text, strokes and images

A computerized system comprising a processing unit and a memory, the system operating in connection with a real-time video conference stream containing a video of a user, wherein the memory embodies a set of computer-executable instructions, which cause the computerized system to perform a method involving: receiving the real time video conference stream containing the video of the user; detecting and separating the background in the received real time video conference stream from the user; and replacing the separated background with a background received from a system of a second user or with a pre-recorded background.

Systems and methods for implementing personal camera that adapts to its surroundings, both co-located and remote

A computerized system comprising a processing unit and a memory, the system operating in connection with a real-time video conference stream containing a video of a user, wherein the memory embodies a set of computer-executable instructions, which cause the computerized system to perform a method involving: receiving the real time video conference stream containing the video of the user; detecting the background in the received real time video conference stream from the user; and matching the first background and a second background associated with the second user.

Systems and methods detect simple user gestures to enable selection of portions of segmented content, such as text, displayed on a display. Gestures may include finger (such as thumb) flicks or swipes as well as flicks of the handheld device itself. The used finger does not occlude the selected text, allowing users to easily see what the selection is at any time during the content selection process. In addition, the swipe or flick gestures can be performed by a non-dominant finger such as a thumb, allowing users to hold the device and make the selection using only one hand. After making the initial selection of a target portion of the content, to extend the selection, for example to the right, the user simply swipes or flicks the finger over the touchscreen to the right. The user could also flick the entire device in a move gesture with one hand.

Systems and methods for content-aware selection

Systems and methods for automatic detection and insetting of digital streams into a video. Various examples of such regions of interest to the user include, without limitation, content displayed on various electronic displays or written on electronic paper (electronic ink), content projected on various surfaces using electronic projectors, content of paper documents appearing in the video and/or content written on white (black) boards inside the video. For some content, such as whiteboards, paper documents or paintings in a museum, a participant (or curator) could have taken pictures of the regions, again stored digitally somewhere and available for download. These digital streams with content of interest to the user are obtained and then inset onto the view generated from the raw video feed, giving users the ability to view them at their native high resolution.

Systems and methods for automatic detection and insetting of digital streams into a video

Example implementations are directed to a method of controlling contributions to a communication stream. An example implementation includes detecting a request from a user to add a data item to a communication stream of a channel, analyzing the data item in view of the communication stream to determine a relevancy score for the data item; and providing a control interface for the request based on the relevancy score of the data item. For example, the control interface can include an audience report, a notification, a previous post link, an alternative channel recommendation, a private message invitation, or a proceed to post command.

Systems and methods for communication channel recommendations using machine learning

System that automatically embeds interactive document snippets inside chat conversation stream. Specifically, described are techniques to automatically crop meaningful areas on document pages based on users' actions and underlying content to embed them inside chat window. Embedded snippets are easy to view because smart cropping provides viewers enough context. Snippets are playable inside the chat window so users can view the snippet without having to open the corresponding document. Importantly, viewers can reply inline to a document snippet, also without having to open the original document page. Like traditional text messages, snippets are appended to the conversation chat window, allowing co-workers to see what was added. When users choose to focus on document itself (as opposed to working inside the chat window only), the system automatically shows all relevant document snippets as well as chat messages, helping the person quickly see what conversations happened around this part of the document.

Systems and methods for bringing document interactions into the online conversation stream

Example implementations described herein are directed to detection of text and image differences between versions of documents (in particular, slide presentations), and generating an animation to indicate the differences between versions. Such example implementations can be implemented as an application layer on document platforms that otherwise do not have any features to indicate differences between document versions. Further, such implementations are also extendable to messaging applications for collaborative document editing.

Automatic generation of animated previews for presenting document differences in enterprise messaging

Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods for providing documents in the chat of a chat application. Example implementations can involve detecting, in a chat of a chat application, an indication to edit a document; inserting a fragment of the document into the chat of the chat application, the fragment configured to be editable within the chat of the chat application; and modifying the document based on input provided to the fragment of the document in the chat of the chat application.

Conversational enterprise document editing

A method of converting a document from a first structure to a second structure, includes extracting data of the document to associate a field and a label in the first structure to generate a field/label association, receiving operator input indicative of associating a field/label association with one or more other field/label associations to generate a grouping, and based on the operator input and a spatial arrangement of the first structure, providing the grouping in the second structure as a natural conversational unit.

Semi-automated methods for translating structured document content to chat-based interaction

An apparatus includes a 360 camera configured to image a volume including one or more local users, and generate an output for remote users, and an illumination device configured to generate a visual output for the one or more local users that is indicative of a viewing direction or a number of the remote users, based on a mapping of a region of interest of the remote viewers. The illumination device is associated with the 360 camera.
