Publication number: 20190340586Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for conducting cross-blockchain currency transactions. A server receives, from a client device, a request for a conversion of an amount of a first currency to an amount of a second currency. The amount of the first currency is stored in an electronic wallet associated with a user of the client device. The server determines one or more sequences of currency transactions executable that achieves the conversion from the amount of the first currency to the amount of the second currency, the one or more sequences of currency transactions comprising converting between cryptocurrencies operating on different blockchains. The server identifies one of the one or more sequences of currency transactions associated with an optimal value.

Patent number: 10244113Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for determining customer service quality through digitized voice characteristic measurement and filtering. A voice analysis module captures a first digitized voice segment corresponding to speech submitted by a user of a remote device. The voice analysis module extracts a first set of voice features from the first voice segment, and determines an emotion level of the user based upon the first set of voice features. The voice analysis module captures a second digitized voice segment corresponding to speech submitted by the user. The voice analysis module extracts a second set of voice features from the second voice segment, and determines a change in the emotion level of the user by comparing the first set of voice features to the second set of voice features. The module normalizes the change in the emotion level of the user using emotion influence factors, and generates a service score.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: Jason Kao, Xinxin Sheng, Bahram Omidfar, Erkang Zheng

Patent number: 10157421Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for securely analyzing transaction data of a user. A server computing device establishes a secure connection with a client device, which transmits transaction data to the server. The server establishes a hierarchy of nodes to profile a user's purchase history. The hierarchy includes a plurality of article nodes and category nodes. The server creates a new article node instance corresponding to the transaction data, the new article node storing descriptive properties of at least one item purchased by the user determined from the transaction data. The server links the new article node instance to at least one of the category nodes by classifying the descriptive properties of the item purchased with respect to relationships defined by the hierarchy. The server generates and transmits an event trigger to remind the user of a follow-up action and authenticates the client before the trigger is delivered.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2015Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: XinXin Sheng, Hong Sun

Patent number: 9824248Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for proximity-based and user-based access control using wearable devices. A short-range frequency reader coupled to a target device detects a plurality of wearable devices in proximity to the reader, each wearable device comprising a short-range frequency antenna. The reader identifies, for each wearable device, a user wearing the wearable device. The reader determines, for each wearable device, a distance from the reader and an orientation in relation to the target device. The reader determines a level of access available to the target device based upon the identity of each user, the distance of each wearable device from the reader, the orientation of each wearable device in relation to the target device, and the distance of the wearable devices from each other in a three-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: Xinxin Sheng, Hong Sun
