  • Patent number: 11656112
    Abstract: A temperature state of one or more fluids in one or more enclosures is determined. Acoustic data is collected using a microphone. Frequency domain features are determined based on the acoustic data, where the frequency domain features are obtained across a frequency range of the acoustic data. The frequency domain features are correlated to the output of a machine learning acoustic analysis model and the one or more fluids are classified based on temperature based on the correlated one or more frequency domain features. In addition, the machine learning acoustic analysis model is trained by recording acoustic training data using a microphone and collecting temperature data for a fluid across a range of temperatures for the fluid. Frequency domain features are determined across a frequency range of the acoustic training data and the frequency domain features are correlated to the temperature data for a fluid.

  • Patent number: 11600019
    Abstract: In an approach to estimating product inventory count, one or more computer processors receive one or more images of one or more products residing on a product storage location from an image capturing device. Based on the received images, one or more computer processors determine a count of the one or more products. One or more computer processors determine a confidence in the count of the one or more products. In response to determining the confidence is below a threshold, one or more computer processors calculate a recommended position of the image capturing device to produce an improved image of the one or more products. One or more computer processors transmit instructions to the image capturing device to move to the recommended position. One or more computer processors determine whether the image capturing device is in the recommended position.

  • Patent number: 11537985
    Abstract: In an approach to anonymous inventory tracking, one or more computer processors receive a first image of one or more products from a user. The one or more computer processors remove data associated with an identity of the user from the first image. The one or more computer processors determine that a storage location associated with the one or more products in the first image is detected. The one or more computer processors determine an inventory count of the one or more products in the first image. The one or more computer processors submit the first image and the inventory count of the one or more products in the first image to a blockchain ledger in association with the storage location. The one or more computer processors take an action based on the inventory count.

  • Publication number: 20220092685
    Abstract: In an approach for determining the optimal space to store goods as well as maximizing the amount of goods in a warehouse by facilitating peer-to-peer subletting of warehouse space, a processor receives a request for storage space from a first user, wherein the request includes a set of requirements for the storage space. A processor determines a suitable storage space for the first user based on the set of requirements. A processor generates a contract between the first user and a second user for the suitable storage space. A processor sends the contract to the first user and the second user while keeping each user anonymous to each other respective user. A processor determines whether the first user and the second user accepted the contract. A processor requests feedback from the first user and the second user about the contract.

  • Publication number: 20220067684
    Abstract: An application on a computing device of a user is initiated. The application allows the user to complete a purchase via the computing device instead of a point-of-sale (POS) terminal. A set of preferences of the user is retrieved. A new interface of the POS terminal is generated on the computing device. The new interface is based on the retrieved set of preferences. The new interface includes one or more screens and icons that perform one or more POS terminal capabilities when selected by the user. The generated new interface is rendered on the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11244280
    Abstract: An approach is provided for using a machine learning model to reduce food waste. Estimation models for food items are created by using a machine learning model. The estimation models have prediction functions specifying timelines during which the food items are not spoiled and are in a condition for consumption. Prediction function solutions are generated for a food item inventory to indicate menu items for respective time periods. Each menu item includes food item(s) which are in condition for consumption based on the estimation models. Menu recommendations corresponding to the time periods are generated. Each menu includes menu item(s) indicated by the prediction function solutions. The menu recommendations reduce a waste of the food items through spoilage by increasing a likelihood of consumption of the food items within the respective timelines.

  • Patent number: 11206453
    Abstract: A method utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to broadcast a real-time event to a particular broadcast audience. The AI system receives a profile of a particular broadcast audience for a real-time event, and concurrent real-time Audio/Video (/V) streams for a particular portion of the real-time event. The AI system ranks the concurrent real-time A/V streams for the particular portion of the real-time event based on the types of event activities depicted in each of the concurrent real-time A/V streams and the profile of the particular broadcast audience for the real-time event; selects a particular real-time A/V stream, from the concurrent real-time A/V streams, for the particular broadcast audience based on the ranking; and directs a performance of a broadcast action related to the selected particular real-time A/V stream.
