  • Object cognitive identification solution
    Patent number: 10679054
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer-implemented method for identifying a specified object. The method includes collecting attributes of a physical object within a physical space, in which the attributes include an object temperature obtained via an (IR) sensor and an object shape obtained via an image sensor. A machine learning algorithm is executed to allocate a coordinate to the object based on the attributes. In response to a request from a user to locate the object, the physical space is scanned via the IR sensor and the image sensor to identify the object and to detect a present location. An indication of a location of the object is then displayed to the user, in which the indication is at least one of the present location of the object or a predicted location of the object.
