  • Publication number: 20210286478
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach displays, on a user interface during a first user session, a set of objects with a first level of detail based on a prioritization model. The approach adjusts the prioritization model based on a set of user selections to the set of objects captured during the first user session that indicates a second level of detail of at least one object in the set of objects. The approach displays the set of objects to the user on the user interface during a second user session based on the adjusted prioritization model.

  • Patent number: 11113746
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for automating product identification is provided. The method includes receiving from users, permission to identify and monitor items associated with the users. Local devices located at a first geographical location are detected in response to receiving permission and identification data identifying each device is stored. A user and a user device are detected arriving at the first geographical location and communications between the user device and the local devices are established. The identification data and associated metadata describing the local devices is retrieved and the user and the user device are detected arriving at a second geographical location. A request for locating a specified item is received. In response, the identification data and associated metadata is analyzed and resulting network search results including a list of items and associated descriptions associated with the request are presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 10924790
    Abstract: A method, system, and program product for modifying a location based video steam is provided. The method includes receiving a video stream being presented to viewers. Video frames are extracted from the video stream. The video frames are analyzed, and a digital display device is detected presenting first video information. A specified identification attribute of the digital display device is located, and it is detected that the digital display device is currently within a field of view of the video stream. A detected viewer count, associated metadata, and topics of interest of the viewers are retrieved and it is determined that the detected viewer count exceeds a previous viewer count detected with respect to a previous presentation of the video stream. In response, second video information is retrieved and the first video information is disabled. The second video information is presented to the viewers.

  • Patent number: 10771740
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for adding individual to a video conference. The method may include capturing a first video stream of a user from a first camera of a device and providing the first video to a device of at least one video conference participant other than the user. The method may include capturing and analyzing second video stream from second camera to detect whether an individual appears in the second video stream. In response to detecting an individual in the second video stream, the method may include determining an identity for the individual and prompting the user to confirm adding the individual to the video conference. In response to receiving the confirmation from the user to add the individual to the video conference, the method may include adding the second video stream to the video conference, thereby adding the individual to the video conference.

  • Publication number: 20200226055
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for an objective determination of the most appropriate person to conduct a software inspection in a large software development project with multiple components, packages and at in which individuals or small groups are each assigned specific modules. Historical information from testing of software commits is stored. An automated and objective analysis of an entire project including the historical information is performed, revealing connections that would otherwise not be apparent between specific potential reviewers and the commit to be reviewed. Based upon the analysis, the system suggests one or more reviewers for the commit to be reviewed. An appropriate code reviewer may he a person with subject matter expertise (SME) in a related are or have more knowledge of a bigger picture and more context of the project, including knowledge of other components.

  • Publication number: 20180011874
    Abstract: Peer-to-peer redundant file server system and methods include clients that determine a target storage provider to contact for a particular storage transaction based on a pathname provided by the filesystem and a predetermined scheme such as a hash function applied to a portion of the pathname. Servers use the same scheme to determine where to store relevant file information so that the clients can locate the file information. The target storage provider may store the file itself and/or may store metadata that identifies one or more other storage providers where the file is stored. A file may be replicated in multiple storage providers, and the metadata may include a list of storage providers from which the clients can select (e.g., randomly) in order to access the file.
