  • Patent number: 10755712
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automated execution of computer software based upon determined empathy of a communication participant. A server captures a digitized voice segment from a remote computing device. The server analyzes vocal cues of the digitized voice segment to generate a voice empathy score. The server converts speech in the digitized voice segment into text and determines empathy keywords in the text to generate a keyword empathy score. The server captures digitized images of the participant's face and analyzes physical expressions of the face to identify emotions and generate a facial empathy score. The server generates an overall empathy confidence score for the communication participant based upon the voice empathy score, the keyword empathy score, and the facial empathy score. The server generates recommended changes for the user based upon the overall empathy confidence score and executes a software application that displays the recommended changes.

  • Patent number: 10693856
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automatic authentication switching in online chat sessions. A server receives a request to establish an online chat session from a first client device, including authentication credentials associated with the first client device. The server establishes an online chat session between the first client device and a second client device via a first authenticated communications channel. The server transmits one or more chat messages between the first client device and the second client device using the first authenticated communications channel. The first client device determines that the online chat session has lost authentication. The first client device automatically switches the online chat session to a second unauthenticated communications channel. The server maintains the established online chat session between the first client device and the second client device via the second unauthenticated communications channel.

  • Patent number: 10628570
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for secure communication of private audio data in a zero user interface computing environment. A server receives text generated from a first digital audio bitstream, the digital audio bitstream corresponding to speech captured by a zero user interface computing device from a user. The server analyzes the text to extract a set of keywords from the text. The server determines whether information responsive to the keywords comprises private data related to the user. If the information responsive to the set of keywords comprises private data: the server generates a text response to the set of keywords that includes the private data relating to the user, determines a personal audio playback device associated with the user, and transmits the generated text response to the personal audio playback device for playback as a second digital audio bitstream.

  • Patent number: 10628599
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for generating and deploying customized application software containers. Software containers on a first server comprise an application software module and an end-user-specific data set. A second server receives input data from remote computing devices and stores the input data in a master data set. The second server determines end-user-specific data sets from the master data set. The second server encrypts each of the end-user-specific data sets with an encryption key. The second server generates the software containers by executing the application software module in separate processes and storing each of the encrypted data sets in a separate container. Client computing devices authenticate to the second server to access a software container. The client devices decrypt the end-user-specific data set stored in the software container using the encryption key, and use the application software module to interact with the end-user-specific data set.
