Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for managing retractable privacy partitions to dynamically subdivide spaces in buildings into sub-spaces (or rooms). Retractable privacy partitions are distributed throughout a given space in a building such that the retractable privacy partitions can completely retract into a surface of the given space (for example, the floor or ceiling) such that when they are fully extended, the retractable privacy partitions create separate rooms within the given space, and when fully retracted, the retractable privacy partitions do not significantly impede movement or sightlines throughout the given space. Further disclosed are techniques to manage the retractable privacy partitions based on properties indicative of demand for rooms of various sizes within the given space. Some embodiments further disclose retractable privacy partitions including switchable glass to provide additional flexibility through dynamic opacity along with dynamic extension/retraction of the partitions.

Abstract: Participant inclusion determination can include generating a textual analysis of a draft of an electronic communication in response to a sender preparing the draft for conveyance over an electronic communications network. A word relevance score can be computed for each word of the draft based on the textual analysis. Probabilistically weighted distances between the sender, an initial recipient of the electronic communication, and more additional recipient candidates for additionally receiving the electronic communication can be determined. The probabilistically weighted distances can correspond to hierarchical distances within a hierarchical structure corresponding to an organization in which the sender, the initial recipient, and one or more additional recipient candidates are members.

Abstract: A buy-online pickup-in-store (BOPIS) order at risk of abandonment is saved by converting the order to same-day delivery. A risk deadline is established using a combination of cognitive prediction, a customer-specific time frame, order constraints, and real-time data. The cognitive prediction uses a customer profile having historical data pertaining to previous BOPIS orders from this customer. If the product is not picked up by the risk deadline, a check is made to see if same-day delivery is feasible. If so, a notification is transmitted to the customer with proposed delivery details. The notification can be sent at an optimal time based on previous notifications sent to the customer and time constraints related to the order, and using an optimal communication channel based on previous engagement rates with the customer over different communication channels. Once confirmation is received from the customer, the product is shipped, saving the sale.
