Media unit retrieval methods, systems and computer program products are provided that allow a user to search for an item by iteratively presenting media units such as images representing items to the user and receiving user input consisting of selections of the presented media units (including possibly the empty selection). Features, or attributes, a user is interested in, for example semantic features, are inferred from the interaction and media units are retrieved for presentation based on similarity with user-selected media units, through sampling of a probability distribution describing the intent or interests, or combinations of approaches. Accordingly, the user-experience is akin to a conversation about what the user is looking for. Retrieval may be based on both selected and unselected media units and the selection may comprise making a selection with a single action. Further, a database of media units can capture similarity relationships for efficient media unit retrieval.

A computerized system is disclosed. The computer system executes software that receives a geographic location having one or more coordinates of a roof, receives a validation of the location of the roof, and generates unmanned aircraft information based on the one or more coordinates of the validated location. The unmanned aircraft information includes an offset from the roof to direct an unmanned aircraft to fly an autonomous flight path above the roof, and camera control information to direct a camera of the unmanned aircraft to capture images of the roof at a predetermined time interval while the unmanned aircraft is flying the flight path. The computer system receives images of the roof captured by the camera while the unmanned aircraft is flying the autonomous flight path and generates a structure report for the roof based at least in part on the images.

This application is directed to a method for automatically identifying and transferring relevant image data. The method includes obtaining a plurality of content items from a personal content collection and determining attributes based on the plurality of content items. The method includes generating a plurality of relevance rules. The method further includes obtaining unclassified content items and determining for a first unclassified content item a plurality of aggregate relevance scores using the plurality of relevance rules. The method include determining whether a first aggregate relevance score and/or a second aggregate relevance score satisfy threshold score. The method includes, in accordance with a determination that the first aggregate relevance score and the second aggregate relevance score do not satisfy the threshold score, forgoing determining the attributes corresponding to the first unclassified content item, and storing the first unclassified content item in a candidate list of the personal content collection.

Improved systems and devices for medical imaging distribution are provided. A medical imaging order may be received from a medical facility that includes medical imaging. A configuration may be selected and applied based on a body site and an urgency field associated with the order that defines queueing rules for the medical imaging order. Utilization factors for queues associated with radiologists may also be determined. The configuration and the utilization factors may be used to determine a subset of queues associated with a subset of radiologists. The subset of queues may be prioritized based on certain requirements, such as how many medical imaging reports a particular radiologist is required to review, how many medical imaging reports are required to be allocated to a particular radiologist, and the like. The highest prioritized queue may be selected and the medical imaging order may be transmitted to the radiologist associated with that queue.

Apparatuses and methods associated with preserving authentication under item change are disclosed herein. In embodiments, acquiring digital image data of an image of at least a portion of a target physical object; extracting features from the image data to form a digital fingerprint; querying the database system to seek a matching record based on the digital fingerprint; based on an amount of difference between the digital fingerprint and a stored digital fingerprint of the database, update the database system to output a new indication of a new match to the physical object for any new samples that are not matchable to the stored digital fingerprint within a first predetermined similarity threshold provided the new samples are matchable to the digital fingerprint within a second predetermined similarity threshold. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a viewer-relation type video and, more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a viewer relation-type video which can compose received videos according to a relationship with a viewer and provide the composed videos to the viewer.

A control section is included, the control section including an accumulation function of, when recognizing a specific user on a basis of sensor data acquired via an agent device, generating episode data in the accumulation section on a basis of a keyword extracted from the sensor data, generating a question for drawing out information concerning the episode data, and accumulating a reply from the specific user to the question in the episode data, and a responding function of, when recognizing the specific user on the basis of the sensor data acquired via the agent device, retrieving the episode data through the accumulation section on the basis of the keyword extracted from the sensor data, and generating response data concerning the retrieved episode data for the agent device to respond to the specific user.

Instrumenting or modeling a bio-manufacturing process is disclosed. A data store holds information regarding one or more bio-manufacturing processes. For each process, the data store information includes workflow steps and per step indications of required equipment, services and consumables according to best practice and/or experts. A videographic user interface enables user interactive input regarding a subject bio-manufacturing process from the data store. The user-interface presents a model representation of deployment of the subject bio-manufacturing process. The user interactively navigates and makes selections in the displayed model representation. The user selections include certain bio-manufacturing products, equipment and services from an image database. The images from the image database enable the views of the model representation to appear true to life demonstrating equipment/product layout and physical equipment/computer connections used in the subject bio-manufacturing process. The videographic user interface utilizes various visual effects to guide the user sequentially or logically (and based on best practice and right fit rules) through the steps and pieces of equipment forming the subject bio-manufacturing process.

Methods, systems, and media for performing personalized actions on mobile devices associated with a media presentation device are provided. In some implementations, the method comprises: determining that a mobile device is associated with a media presentation device over a communications network, wherein the media presentation device is in an operating mode that presents a sequence of images; receiving a user command that indicates interest in an image from the sequence of images being presented on the media presentation device; determining metadata associated with the image from the sequence of images being presented on the media presentation device; causing the metadata associated with the image to be stored with a representation of the image from the sequence of images and a user account identifier corresponding to a user of the mobile device; receiving a request to review saved image information corresponding to one or more images in which the user command indicative of interest has been received; and in response to receiving the request, causing a user interface element to be presented that allows a user of the mobile device to navigate through the saved image information, wherein the user interface element includes at least the representation of the image from the sequence of images and information relating to the image from the sequence of images.
