  • Patent number: 11977358
    Abstract: Systems and methods of dynamic IoT device regulation and control can aid in shifting a user's emotional state from a first state of mind to a preferred second state of mind, using the user's biomarker response to device settings. Particularly, an IoT device controller may be embedded within a wearable device that is wirelessly connected to a computing device and one or more IoT devices. Initially, each wearable device can be calibrated, wherein a matrix of sensed user biomarker responses can be generated. In some embodiments, the system continuously monitors user biomarkers to detect which physiological state exists. When the user enters into the first physiological/psychological state, the system can adjust each IoT device to align with the second state. When the system detects that the user biomarker response has not shifted, the system can continuously adjust IoT settings based upon a learning algorithm having monitored user biomarkers as input.

  • Patent number: 11968120
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a first path computation element (PCE) receives a request from a gateway for service chain functions (SFs) to be applied to a traffic flow, wherein a first subset of the SFs is located in a first zone. The first PCE identifies a boundary node located at a border between the first zone and a second zone where a second subset of the SFs are located. The first PCE sends a response to the gateway indicating a path within the first zone between the gateway and the boundary node to apply the first subset of SFs to the flow. The first PCE provides information regarding the flow and the boundary node to a second PCE that uses the information to configure the boundary node to route the flow in the second zone to apply the second subset of SFs to the flow.

  • Patent number: 11961039
    Abstract: Techniques are described for linked blockchains that allow computing devices to access information from an acceptance blockchain about acceptance reports stored in an enterprise delivery blockchain that are also linked to a product blockchain that stores information of the products of the acceptance reports. An acceptance report is indicative of operability of a product in a service provided by a service provider. A processor is configured to access the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, retrieve the acceptance report from the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, determine an identifier, identified in the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, to a block in an acceptance blockchain, access the block in the acceptance blockchain via the determined identifier, retrieve from the block in the acceptance blockchain contextual information of the acceptance report, and output the acceptance report and contextual information of the acceptance report.

  • Patent number: 11954440
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to invoke an image processing module to ingest a digital invoice. An evaluation module derives metrics from the digital invoice. A semantic document processing module forms entity extracts from the digital invoice, where each entity extract from the digital invoice has a potential mapping to a trained machine learning model element. An entity extraction correction module overrides the potential mapping to the trained machine learning model element when user feedback from a similar entity extract from a previously processed digital invoice exists to produce a processed digital invoice with a user feedback element inconsistent with the potential mapping to the trained machine learning model element. The processed digital invoice is delivered to an accounting module for final disposition of the digital invoice.
