An edge computing system is deployed at a physical location and receives an input from one or more image/video sensing mechanisms. The edge computing system executes artificial intelligence image/video processing modules on the received image/video streams and generates metrics by performing spatial analysis on the images/video stream. The metrics are provided to a multi-tenant service computing system where additional artificial intelligence (AI) modules are executed on the metrics to execute perception analytics. Client applications can then be run on the output of the AI modules in the multi-tenant service computing system.

Machine perception using video/image sensors in an edge/service computing system architecture

The sharing of signal segments using a semantic understanding of what is included within the signal segment. Upon selection of a physical entity (or portion thereof) that is rendered within a signal segment, the system then extracts portion(s) of signal segment(s) in which that selected physical entity appears. A representation of the extracted signal segment portion are then dispatched to recipients. Thus, portions of signal segments may be shared at the granularity of the content of what the signal segment depicts. There is wide flexibility in what representations of those signal segment portion(s) are shared.

Sharing signal segments of physical graph

A data marketplace infrastructure provides a crowd sourcing solution to development, discovery and publication of decision applications. Applications can be submitted from a user to a data warehouse in association with a data feed. One or more discovery properties are determined with regard to each application. The applications are made available to other client systems in association with the data feed. A relevant data feed and a relevant application can be identified based on satisfaction of a discovery request by the one or more determined discovery properties of the application. The application can be selected and downloaded to the user for evaluation and customization. The customized application can then be submitted to the data warehouse for publication with the other applications associated with the data feed.

Business application publication

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for using cinematic techniques to present data. Embodiments of the invention can be used to infer and generate cinematic techniques or combinations thereof based on a model and user action. Cinematic techniques can be used to meet the data exploration and analysis requirements of a user. As such, embodiments of the invention permit users (including non-programmers) to employ cinematic techniques (possibly in combination with other techniques) to gain insights into their data and also convey appropriate emotional messages.

Using cinematic techniques to present data

Facilitating navigation of a computer-navigable graph of sensed features that were gathered by recognition or estimation of one or more features of physical entities that were sensed over time by sensor(s) within a physical space. The computer-navigable graph includes multiple nodes including multiple signal segment nodes and multiple feature nodes. Each of at least some of the signal segment nodes evidence feature(s) represented in feature node(s). Navigation is facilitated by, for each of multiple signal segment nodes, identifying relationship(s) between the corresponding signal segment node and other node(s) of the graph. At navigation time, when a user navigates to the corresponding signal segment nodes, a visualization of any detected relationship may be rendered to the user. When the user interacts with the rendering in such a way as to select the relationship, the user is navigated to the other node.

Navigation of computer-navigable physical feature graph

A data marketplace infrastructure allows a data source company or a third party to associate to a data feed with a customizable preview application having analytic and visual features (e.g., business logic and a user interface). A potential customer can use discovery services of the data marketplace infrastructure to identify one or more data feeds offering sample data in a domain of interest of the potential customer. The data feed can transmit the customizable preview application to allow the potential customer to interact with the data from the data feed before purchasing the data. The potential customer may also customize the preview application so as to change the default application behavior in a manner that improves the potential customer's understanding and appreciation of the data feed.

Data feed having customizable analytic and visual behavior

The facilitating of output on an output device that receives output from an application that actually redefines during use. An initial output of information to be presented is caused to be rendered on the output device. Then, upon encountering that the application itself is redefined, the output is altered, and the output device updated. Furthermore, there may be other triggers that change the output on the output device including a change in allocation of output between multiple output devices, a change in users of the output device, a change in position of one or more users with respect to the output device, a change in control of one or more users with respect to the output device, a change in authorization of one or more users with respect to the output device or the information outputted. Accordingly, the output device may be updated appropriately even in a dynamic computing environment.

Output rendering in dynamic redefining application

A received reply email document enables some action to be effectuated using data included in the email document responsive to field identifiers associated with the data and corresponding to fields of metadata. The associated field identifiers that correspond to known fields of the metadata provide some expectation as to the semantic meaning and/or syntactic constraints of the data to which the field identifiers are associated. In a described implementation, an actionable email documents module creates an email document having blocks that are mapped to fields of metadata. The email document is transmitted to one or more recipients. Each recipient adds data to the blocks so that the data becomes mapped to the fields of the metadata. The recipients return a reply email document having the field-mapped data. Upon receipt, the module can effectuate some action using the field-mapped data responsive to the mappings.

Actionable email documents

Displaying application output in a manner that is not predetermined by the application, nor by the display. The computing system associated with the display accesses a set of information output by an application and to be displayed on a display. However, rather than explicit instructions on how to display being received from the application itself, the computing system instead accesses a set of one or more display rules that are associated with the set of information. The computing system then uses the set of one or more display rules to determine how to layout the set of information on the display. If the set of information were to change, the rules may be reevaluated to determine how the new information should be laid out. If the associated set of display rules were to also changed, the reevaluation would occur thereby resulting in a potentially different layout on the display.

Rule-based layout of changing information

The automated binding of a data source to a compound control. The properties of the compound control are identified. Furthermore, a particular data source is associated with the compound control. For each of one or more of the properties of the compound control, information regarding the compound control and the data source are used to identify a set of one or more fields of the particular data source that may be bound to the corresponding property of the compound control. If the corresponding property of the compound control has bound thereto an output parameter of a declarative transformation, the nature of the transformation may also be taken into consideration when identifying the set of one or more fields that may be used in order to bind to the corresponding property of the compound control.

Binding of data source to compound control

Operating an application in response to spatial status of objects within a physical environment in which the application operates. A system detects the spatial status (e.g., orientation, movement, position, and so forth) of multiple environmental objects that operate within a physical environment from which input is provided to, and to which output is provided from, an application. The relationship between at least some different environmental objects result in altered a behavior of the application. The spatial status of at least some of the environmental objects is subject to change. Thus, a mechanism is described that allows an application to adjust in a manner that is highly responsive to the physical environment in which the application interfaces.

Application operation responsive to object spatial status

A business intelligence (BI) document preserves references to identities and formats of remote data sources and allows a local computing device to offload analytical operations to remote data sources. The BI document specifies a graph of entities connected by directed edges from the output of one entity to an input of another entity. An entity, for example, can represent without limitation a data structure, an external data source, a control element, an external event source, a visualization, or an update service. The entities of a BI document at a local computing device can reference data at an original data source&#x2014;rather than extracting data from the original data source to a preferred local datastore. An entity of the BI document can direct a remote data source to execute transformations on the remote data before returning a solution to the local computing device.

A graphical manipulation tool to create and/or make modifications to a graphical object suitable for visually representing data. The graphical manipulation tool analyzes the graphical object to determine parameters of visual characteristics of the graphical object that can be used to visually represent data. A computing system, through the graphical manipulation tool, may generate metadata that defines a capacity for visual characteristics to represent data. In some cases, a preview is displayed on a user interface indicating to a user how the metadata, if incorporated with the graphical object, may result in the visual characteristics of the graphical object being used to visually represent data. If incorporating the metadata with the graphical object is desirable, the user may provide to include the additional metadata with the graphical object.
