  • Patent number: 11727151
    Abstract: A method for protecting content of online conversational content. The method provides for scanning content of an online conversational exchange between a first device and a second device. A sensitive object included in the content of the online conversation exchange is identified, based on object type information accessible from a protection policy included in respective user profiles. A pseudonymized-object-holder is assigned to the identified sensitive object according to the protection policy of the respective user profiles, and the identified sensitive object identified in the content of the online conversation exchange and stored on both the first device and the second device is replaced with a pseudonymized-object-holder, based on the sensitive-object protection policy of the respective user profiles.

  • Publication number: 20220101148
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed towards techniques for building and using machine learning enhanced trees for automated solution determination in a technical support context. Historical technical support records with associated problems, actions and results are received and clustered. A solution determination tree is constructed from the clustered actions, and a machine learning model is trained to predict which action will lead to a solution based on an accumulated data set including a problem and subsequent results from previous actions. Using the solution determination tree and the machine learning model, classes of actions are recommended based on accumulated data for an incoming support request/problem or a result resulting from a executing a previously recommended action.

  • Patent number: 11057332
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a processing circuit and logic integrated with the processing circuit, executable by the processing circuit, or integrated with and executable by the processing circuit. The logic is configured to cause the processing circuit to receive an expression sticker having metadata associated therewith and analyze the metadata to determine whether an augmented feature is specified by the metadata. The augmented feature is intended to be output in conjunction with display of the expression sticker. The logic is also configured to cause the processing circuit to output the expression sticker to a display of a first device and trigger a corresponding augmented unit of the first device to output the augmented feature in response to a determination that the augmented feature is specified by the metadata. Other systems, methods, and computer program products for augmented expression sticker management are described in accordance with more embodiments.

  • Patent number: 10936826
    Abstract: Techniques for proactive prevention of data breaches are provided. A first text segment corresponding to a sensitive entity is identified in a string of text, based on one or more security profiles. The first text segment in the string of text is replaced with a first entity holder. A first translation is generated by processing the string of text with a first translation service, and a second translation is generated by processing the first text segment with a second translation service, distinct from the first translation service. The first and second translations are merged to produce a final translation, where merging the first and second translations comprises removing the first entity holder from the final translation.

  • Patent number: 10915496
    Abstract: In an approach for generating a file, a computer provides a selection window associated with a second file, wherein the selection window is at least partially transparent and at least partially overlays an opened first file. The computer identifies content within the opened first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file. The computer transfers a copy of the identified content within the opened first file that is overlaid by the provided selection window associated with the second file, wherein the opened first file does not incorporate changes that are made within the second file.

  • Patent number: 10810211
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes selecting a set of criteria related to managing expression stickers. The method also includes determining values for the set of criteria based on input from a first user. In addition, the method includes storing the values for the set of criteria to a user profile created for the first user on a memory. Additionally, the method includes determining meanings for each expression sticker in a set of expression stickers stored to the memory based on content and context of each expression sticker and context of the set of expression stickers. Moreover, the method includes integrating the set of expression stickers with an existing input interface of messaging applications to allow the user to select expression stickers from the set of expression stickers when engaged in a chat or instant messaging session via one of the messaging applications.
