  • Natural language processing
    Patent number: 11626105
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are generally described for delayed execution of natural language understanding processes. In various examples, input data is received. In some examples, automatic speech recognition (ASR) data is generated that represents the input data. In some further examples, processing of the ASR data by a first natural language understanding (NLU) process is initiated. In some examples, a first amount of time by which to delay processing of the ASR data by a second NLU process is determined. In at least some examples, processing of the ASR data by the second NLU process is initiated after the first amount of time has elapsed. The first NLU process may be unable to interpret the ASR data. The second NLU process may generate result data that may be stored in memory.

  • Cancellation and reversion of unauthorized operations
    Patent number: 11627134
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating the cancellation or reversion of unauthorized operations. An operation initiated to be executed with respect to a user account is received from a computing device that has been authenticated. A notification of the operation is sent through at least one communication channel in response to receiving the operation. The notification facilitates a reply that causes the operation to be cancelled when the reply is sent within a first time period and causes the operation to be reverted when the reply is sent within a second time period after an expiration of the first time period.

  • Partial update sharing in joint LDPC decoding and ancillary processors
    Patent number: 11626889
    Abstract: Iterative signal processing. At communication hardware, a signal is received from a transmission medium. The signal has characteristics that obscure data or a signal of interest in the signal. The signal is processed at a first signal processor, which is an iterative processor that performs signal processing in cycles whereby successive cycles: improve the performance of processing of the processor itself over previous cycles, or improve the output from the processor. The signal is processed at one or more second signal processors. Extrinsic data, with respect to the first signal processor is produced as a result. The extrinsic data is provided to the first signal processor and used to counter the effects of the data or signal of interest being obscured in the signal, while the first signal processor is intracycle of a first processing cycle.

  • Language agnostic drift correction
    Patent number: 11625928
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for language-agnostic subtitle drift detection and correction. A method may include determining subtitles and/or captions from media content (e.g., videos), the subtitles and/or captions corresponding to dialog in the media content. The subtitles may be broken up into segments which may be analyzed to determine a likelihood of drift (e.g., a likelihood that the subtitles are out of synchronization with the dialog in the media content) for each segment. For segments with a high likelihood of drift, the subtitles may be incrementally adjusted to determine an adjustment that eliminates and/or reduces the amount of drift and the drift in the segment may be corrected based on the drift amount detected. A linear regression model and/or human blocks determined by human operators may be used to otherwise optimize drift correction.

  • System for detecting and mitigating fraudulent biometric input
    Patent number: 11625947
    Abstract: Biometric input, such as images of a hand obtained by a biometric input device, may be used to identify a person. An attacker may attempt to gain access by presenting false biometric data with an artificial biometric model, such as a fake hand. During a suspected attack, the attacker is prompted for additional data. For example, email address, telephone number, payment information, and so forth. This provides additional information about the attack while prolonging the time spent by the attacker on the attack. Information explicitly indicating failure is delayed or not presented at all. Data associated with an attack is placed into an exclusion list and further analyzed to recognize and mitigate future attacks. A subsequent attempt that corresponds to exclusion data proceeds with presenting prompts, gathering further information and consuming more of the attacker's time and resources.

  • Stateless secure payment system
    Patent number: 11625725
    Abstract: A biometric input device is used to obtain biometric data from a user. The biometric data is used to determine host card emulation (HCE) parameters that are associated with the user and are used to access a payment account. An interface device that is associated with the biometric input device receives the HCE parameters. The interface device includes a secure execution environment (SEE). A processor in the SEE decrypts and stores the HCE parameters in the memory of the SEE and executes an HCE instance. The HCE instance uses a communication interface to interact with a payment terminal using a contactless communication protocol. The interaction provides payment data to the payment terminal, which is then sent along a payment channel for processing. The HCE instance is then erased, and the SEE is then available for use by another user for another transaction using a different payment account.

  • Method and system for securely providing vehicle services data to a vehicle
    Patent number: 11625492
    Abstract: A computer device, having at least two long-range wireless profiles and coupled with a communication bus of a vehicle, receives a notice that a vehicle-centric download for the computer device, or for a vehicle device coupled to the communication bus, is pending from a remote server. The vehicle computer device determines the size and security requirement associated with the pending download, and a current operational state of the vehicle. If the size or security requirement is low, a consumer-centric profile may be used for the download even if the vehicle is currently being used. If the download file size is large or requires very high security, or if a user is currently using the computer device according to the consumer-centric profile, the computer device may schedule the download to occur after receiving a trigger event occurrence message.
