Abstract:

A method and system for enabling writings and/or drawings created during or in advance of a virtual meeting or the like to be electronically delivered to an online audience or stored for subsequent on-demand viewing such that the writings and/or drawings may be replicated on an audience member's computer in a manner that makes them clearly readable. The invention is implemented via a software application that runs on a computer to which a video capture device is connected. The software application and/or computer peripheral components process captured video content to filter out data that do not pertain to the writings and/or drawings, based on the unique characteristics of writings and drawings as compared with other artifacts that may occupy the visual images. The remaining pertinent data is then transmitted to the on-line audience or saved for later on-demand viewing. In an additional implementation, a composite image comprising a writing area portion and an additional portion of the visual content of the presentation is replicated for online viewing.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity and non-entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating sponsored verbs and contexts. The system includes interface circuitry for receiving a search query from a user device and query processing circuitry for identifying search results comprising entity search result objects and non-entity search result objects related to the search query. Targeting circuitry determines a set of verb keywords associated with the search result objects and analytics circuitry selects one or more sponsored verbs for at least one entity or non-entity search result. Display logic circuitry is communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and dynamically generates interface elements for each of the one or more sponsored verbs, and displays, in response to the search query, the interface elements as a sub-component of the at least one entity or non-entity search result.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A modular search object framework can provide monetization of entity based content. Such a framework can include circuitry configured to manually or automatically link monetized search terms with entities, so that the entities can be monetized without additional bids on the entities. Once the framework generates such links, advertisers may continue to bid on search terms, and create new links or change initial links. Also, through the framework advertisers may bid on an entity that can encompass a set of associated search terms. For example, instead of bidding on a great number of search terms, an advertiser can bid on a few entities that include at least a majority of the associated search terms. With such functionality, the workload of the advertiser can be greatly reduced.
