Publication number: 20240171815Abstract: Content receiver systems, methods, and machine-readable media to facilitate adaptive voice interaction are disclosed. An audio cue may be detected and mapped to a first viewer in proximity of an audio sensor. Sensor-based data that is based on the audio sensor capturing audio phenomena in the proximity may be received. A set of rules specified by an operations protocol may be accessed. The set of rules may include criteria for mapping a recognition of voice data to operations of a content receiver. The sensor-based data may correspond to a recognition of first voice data of the first viewer. A rule of the set of rules may be used to map the sensor-based data to an operation of the content receiver. Responsive to the audio cue, the content receiver may be caused to perform the operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventor: Brandon Hines

Patent number: 11641665Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first message from a client computing device, the first message including a first value indicating a change in a resource utilization. The method also includes obtaining a sequence of previous values associated with previous resource utilizations. The method also includes determining a predicted schedule of values for a field of a record indicating resource use using a neural network based on the first value and the sequence of previous values. The method also includes determining whether a set of alert criteria is satisfied based on the predicted schedule of values. The method also includes sending a second message to the client computing device in response to a determination that the set of alert criteria is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: SELF FINANCIAL, INC.Inventors: Andy Helms, David Riley, Jr., Brandon Hines, William Kuk, Kelvin Pho

Patent number: 11630822Abstract: Provided is a method including obtaining a first set of queries from an application of a first device for a set of values of a record, determining a numeric boundary based on the set of value, and providing a UI to the first device, where the UI including a UI element displaying the numeric boundary. The method includes obtaining an interface-selected value, obtaining devices using a second set of queries, and obtaining a first location of the first device and a plurality of locations associated with the devices. The process includes selecting a second device of the devices based on distances between the first location and the plurality of locations. The method includes determining whether an authentication value is received from the second device and updating a field of the record based on the interface-selected value in response to receiving the authentication value from the second device.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: SELF FINANCIAL, INC.Inventors: Andy Helms, David Riley, Jr., Brandon Hines, William Kuk, Kelvin Pho

Patent number: 11475010Abstract: Provided is a method to obtain a first query indicating a set of fields of a record of a first data store and generate a plurality of queries based on the first query, where the plurality of queries includes a shared set of parameters. The method includes storing a plurality of query values identifying the plurality of queries in an in-memory data store, determining a second query comprising the shared set of parameters based on the plurality of queries, and locking a set of values of the record based on the second query. The method includes retrieving a query response comprising the set of values with the second query, fulfilling the plurality of queries stored in the in-memory data store based on the set of values, and generating a response to the first query based on the fulfilled plurality of queries.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Self Financial, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Hines, Philip Baggett, Habbo Engelke

Patent number: 11470037Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first message from a client device, determining a set of values based on the first message, where first and second subsets of values of the set of values is associated with a first and second navigation screens, respectively. The method also includes generating a second message including the set of values and sending the second message to the client device. The method also includes updating a navigation stack stored on the client device based on the set of values by inserting a value of the first subset before a value of the second subset in a sequence of the navigation stack. The method also includes displaying the second navigation screen based on the second subset, where an interaction with a user interface element of the client device causes the client device to display the first navigation screen.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Self Financial, Inc.Inventors: Brandon Hines, Philip Baggett
