  • Patent number: 10398385
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to digital image processing for diagnosis of a subject. More specifically, the embodiments relate to automation of diagnoses through data interpretation. An image is acquired from the subject. Elements are recognized within the image based on morphological features. The image is compared to learned data. Based on the comparison, a probability of a potential diagnosis(es) is calculated. A diagnosis of the subject is determined based on the potential diagnosis(es) and the calculated probability. The diagnosis may be changed based on a new image acquired from the subject.

  • Publication number: 20190140986
    Abstract: Utilizing a computing device executing a master chatbot and one or more modular chatbots to respond to one or more chat messages. A computing device executing the master chatbot receives one or more chat messages. The computing device parses the received one or more chat messages to discover an intent and entities contained within the chat messages. A ranking algorithm is employed to rank the master chatbot and a plurality of modular chatbots, the ranking algorithm scoring the master chatbot and the plurality of modular chatbots based upon the intent and entities contained within the one or more chat messages. The master chatbot responds to the chat message if the ranking algorithm rates the master chatbot highest or forwards automatically the one or more chat messages to a ranked modular chatbot for response if the ranking algorithm rates the ranked modular chatbot highest.

  • Patent number: 10169611
    Abstract: In an approach to enhancing the security features of user interfaces of computing devices, a computing device repeatedly detects environmental cues in its vicinity. The computing device determines the presence of a threat based on matching at least one of the detected environmental cues with one or more stored threat criteria. The computing device determines the presence of one or more sensitive applications on a user interface. Having determined the presence of one or more sensitive applications on the user interface, the computing device hides the one or more sensitive applications.
