Patent number: 10298757Abstract: A curator captures input data corresponding to service tasks from an external source. Further, a browser extension collects intermediate service delivery data for the service tasks from the external source. Subsequently, a learner stores the input data and the intermediate service delivery data as training data. Then, a receiver receives a service request from a client. The service request is indicative of a service task to be performed and information associated with the service task. Further, an advisor processes the service request to generate an intermediate service response. Thereafter, the advisor determines a confidence level associated with the intermediate service response and ascertains whether the confidence level associated with service response is below pre-determined threshold level. If the confidence level is below a pre-determined threshold level, the advisor automatically generates a final service response corresponding to service request based on training data.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventors: Chung-Sheng Li, Guanglei Xiong, Emmanuel Munguia Tapia, Kyle P.

Patent number: 9380222Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting an image for inventory monitoring is provided herein. During operation, a camera may take a series of images of a particular area to be monitored. Each image will be broken into a plurality of regions and a determination will be made if a region is at least partially blocked. Those regions deemed unblocked will be utilized to generate a composite image. The camera continues acquiring images, using unblocked regions until a complete composite image is formed without obstructions. The composite image will then be transmitted and used for inventory monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Symbol Technologies, LLCInventors: Richard M.
