Patent number: 11899683Abstract: A digital asset management system (DAMS) provides an integrated user experience for the rapid and facile manipulation of a users digital assets in an online environment. Spanning the spectrum of digital assets, the DAMS system set forth herein enables users to tag, fitter, collect, and show such digital assets in a manner which requires preferably minimal user interaction in order to achieve digital asset management and exhibition. Sharing among friends and family becomes much easier and incoming digital assets may be automatically segregated according to user choices or history to enable easier management of such assets. Recognition of relationships, characteristics, features, and the like between different assets may occur automatically and develop an ongoing fashion to enable association of such similar assets into “collections” or the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Lucas McGregor, Mike Depaoli, Adrian Gould, Chad Hill, Michael Thomas Ritchie, Kyle Kincaid, Glenn Lingle, Joseph Provost, Maria Vazquez

Publication number: 20230376838Abstract: Content of a dialog between at least two communication parties to resolve a task is received. A specification associated with at least a portion of eligible steps of a workflow is received. Machine learning input data is determined based on the received content of the dialog and the received specification. The determined machine learning input data is processed using a trained machine learning model executing on one or more hardware processors to automatically predict a sequence of workflow steps representing the dialog.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Amine El Hattami, Christopher Joseph Pal, David María Vázquez Bermúdez, Issam Hadj Laradji, Stefania Evelina Raimondo

Patent number: 10853943Abstract: Systems and methods for counting objects in images based on each object's approximate location in the images. An image is passed to a segmentation module. The segmentation module segments the image into at least one object blob. Each object blob is an indication of a single object. The object blobs are counted by a counting module. In some embodiments, the segmentation module segments the image by classifying each image pixel and grouping nearby pixels of the same class together. In some embodiments, the segmentation module comprises a neural network that is trained to group pixels based on a set of training images. A plurality of the training images contain at least one point marker corresponding to a single training object. The segmentation module learns to group pixels into training object blobs that each contain a single point marker. Each training object blob is thus an indication of a single object.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: ELEMENT AI INC.Inventors: Issam Hadj Laradji, Negar Rostamzadeh, Pedro Henrique Oliveira Pinheiro, David Maria Vazquez Bermudez, Mark William Schmidt

Patent number: 10681752Abstract: A cellular telecommunications network architecture is described where certain UEs are configured to assist the network to improve coverage in regions of poor radio conditions. In certain embodiments, appropriate UEs are selected to act as a dynamic, out-of-band coverage extensions. Network performance can thereby be improved when serving users at the cell edge (or in other poor radio condition regions of a cell). Data from UEs connected to those assisting UEs is encrypted to allow secure transit of data without requiring modification to the RAN or Core Network.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: VODAFONE IP LICENSING LIMITEDInventors: Eric Murray, Peter Cosimini, Marco Angelo Pietro Del Bo, Javier Monedero, Tarek Elbasyouny, Maria Vazquez
