  • Patent number: 11714592
    Abstract: In an exemplary process for interacting with user interface objects using an eye gaze, an affordance associated with a first object is displayed. A gaze direction or a gaze depth is determined. While the gaze direction or the gaze depth is determined to correspond to a gaze at the affordance, a first input representing user instruction to take action on the affordance is received, and the affordance is selected responsive to receiving the first input.

  • Patent number: 11711361
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for biometric authentication during voice data transfers. A user may initiate voice communications with a service provider endpoint that provides automated services to the user through the voice or audio communications, such as an interactive voice response (IVR) system where a user may navigate menus through audio commands. The user may by required to authenticate their identity during the phone call or other voice data transfer, which may be done by entering a biometric, such as a fingerprint. The biometric may be converted to biometric feature data and provided to one or more token service providers. The token service providers may provide one or more tokens for the biometric, which may be used as the authentication token. This token may then be transmitted to the IVR system through the user's endpoint using a dialer feature of the endpoint.

  • Patent number: 11709068
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for spatial audio navigation that may, for example, be implemented by mobile multipurpose devices. A spatial audio navigation system provides navigational information in audio form to direct users to target locations. The system uses directionality of audio played through a binaural audio device to provide navigational cues to the user. A current location, target location, and map information may be input to pathfinding algorithms to determine a real world path between the user's current location and the target location. The system may then use directional audio played through a headset to guide the user on the path from the current location to the target location. The system may implement one or more of several different spatial audio navigation methods to direct a user when following a path using spatial audio-based cues.

  • Patent number: 11645595
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to techniques that include predicting, by a computer system, a number of predicted opportunities and signatures of the predicted opportunities expected in a time window. Based on the signatures of the predicted opportunities, the computer system generates a listing of entities ranked according to signatures of the predicted opportunities. The computer system selects the entities to be assigned to the predicted opportunities based, at least in part, on computing capacity related to sales while accounting for any current opportunities having been assigned to the entities.

  • Patent number: 11611544
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a delayed presentation of authentication challenge for users, such as in the context of a chat session. In various embodiments, a server system receives an indication of a request for service initiated by a user in a chat session within an application executed by a client device. The request for service involves an authentication of the user that is dependent on the authentication being successfully completed within a particular time period after the authentication is initiated. The server system delays the initiation of authentication for the request for service until a readiness condition is satisfied. The readiness condition includes the server system being available to process the request for service, as well as subsequently detecting engagement with the user relating to the request for service. In response to the readiness condition being satisfied, the server system initiates the authentication of the user.

  • Publication number: 20230064965
    Abstract: A computer system analyzes an input in a chat window of a first device, wherein the chat window corresponds to a first chat session with a user of a second device and a second chat session with a user of a third device. The computer system determines, based on the analyzing the input, whether the input corresponds to an information associated with the first chat session and an information associated with the second chat session. Based on determining that the input corresponds to the information associated with the first chat session and the information associated with the second chat session, the computer system transmits the input to the second device and the third device.

  • Patent number: 11568283
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an artificial intelligence (AI) orchestration layer to facilitate migrations between different AI platforms. A service provider may provide AI portability functions through an orchestration layer that connects different AI services and platforms. The orchestration layer may be used to monitor user interactions with a first AI platform that request AI predictive services and outputs. Using these monitored interactions, the service provider may build and train a simulated AI model that attempts to mirror or replicate the AI model trained for the user on the first AI platform. Thereafter, when the user begins use of a second AI platform that includes the same or similar functionalities to the first AI platform, the service provider may utilize the orchestration layer to assist in training an AI model on the second AI platform based on the previously trained AI model on the first AI platform.
