  • Patent number: 11963126
    Abstract: A wireless communication network deregisters network functions. In the wireless communication, a network data system receives a deregistration command that indicates a wireless User Equipment (UE) and forwards the deregistration command to a Unified Data Management (UDM). The UDM receives the indication and determines a Data Network Name (DNN) for the wireless UE. The UDM identifies a network controller and a session controller for the wireless UE based on the DNN. The UDM transfers deregistration notifications to the network controller and session controller. The UDM receives a deregistration acknowledgement from the network controller. The UDM directs the network data system to remove stored session data for the session controller. The network data system receives the direction from the UDM and responsively removes stored session data for the session controller.

  • Patent number: 11949639
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for intelligently managing hero cards generated for a user profile. In an example, a server can collect user interaction data that measures how a user interacts with system components. The system components can include emails, hero cards, and software applications. The server can analyze the user interaction data to determine whether a new hero card type should be enabled for a user profile, whether an active hero card type should be disabled for the user profile, and whether parameters for action options on hero cards should be changed for the user profile. The server can make changes to hero cards for the user profile so that the user can receive customized hero cards based on the user's behavior.

  • Patent number: 11792141
    Abstract: An automated messaging reply-to system can automatically select which message a potential reply message is replying to. The automated messaging reply-to system can obtain a message thread, a potential reply message, and a context. The automated messaging reply-to system can filter the message thread and generate model inputs based on the remaining messages, the potential reply message, and the context. The automated messaging reply-to system can apply the model input to a machine learning model, which can generate reply scores for the remaining messages. After generating reply scores, the automated messaging reply-to system can determine whether the remaining message with the highest reply score qualifies as an originating message being replied to. The automated messaging reply-to system can cause display of the potential reply message as a reply-to for the determined originating message.

  • Patent number: 11750671
    Abstract: An embodiment includes identifying which of a plurality of participants of a web conference is an identified participant associated with a selected cluster of a plurality of clusters of audio feed data of an audio feed of the web conference based on a self-introduction in the selected cluster. The embodiment also generates a first preliminary leadership score for the identified participant based on a speaking duration value associated with the identified participant and generates a second preliminary leadership score for the identified participant using a selected video segment as an input for a machine learning classifier model. The embodiment calculates a final leadership score for the identified participant based on the first and second preliminary leadership scores. The final leadership score is representative of a likelihood that the identified participant is a supervisor, and is indicative of the identified participant being a supervisor if it exceeds a designated threshold value.
