  • Patent number: 10810204
    Abstract: Access to attachments of electronic messages and information associated with the electronic messages to applications external to a messaging application is provided. A message including an attachment is received via a messaging application, and a relationship connecting the message to the attachment is stored in a graph database. When a request is made to display a file list, an API is used to interact with the graph database. Attachments that meet a criterion associated with the file list and associated metadata are included in the list. Responsive to a selection to open an attachment, a productivity application communicates with the messaging application to retrieve the attachment and associated messages, and displays the attachment in a content display region and associated messages and messaging application functionalities in a communications pane in a single productivity application user interface.

  • Patent number: 10685457
    Abstract: An eyewear fit visualization system and method enable a user to visualize the fit and look of eyewear on the user's face without physically wearing the eyewear. An image of a user's face is converted to a three-dimensional map that is used to determine contact points of the eyewear to the user's face. Using these contact points, the system and method displays the eyewear precisely in place on a reflected or displayed image of the user's face to accurately simulate the look and fit of the eyewear.

  • Publication number: 20200027026
    Abstract: The present application describes a machine learning method for detecting tamper. The method includes a step of training a model using one or more values obtained from one or more different sensors on an integrated module. The one or more values act as training data with respect to one or more of light, acceleration, magnetic field, rotation, temperature, pressure, humidity, and audio. The method also includes a step of predicting, via the trained model, tampering of the of the integrated module. The present application also describes a system for detecting tamper.

  • Publication number: 20200025789
    Abstract: The present application includes a computer-implemented method for detecting a tamper event. The method includes a step of receiving, from one or more sensors on an integrated module, data indicating one or more of light, acceleration, magnetic field, rotation, temperature, pressure, humidity, and audio. The method also includes a step of transmitting, to a microcontroller/evaluation engine coupled to the integrated module, the received data from the one or more sensors. The method further includes a step of determining, via the microcontroller, the received data exceeding one or more configurable thresholds of the tamper event. The method even further includes a step of assigning, via the microcontroller, a score associated with each of the one or more configurable thresholds being exceeded by the received data. The method yet even further includes a step of collecting, via the microcontroller, an aggregate total based on the assigning step.
