Patent number: 11972623Abstract: An approach for enhancing a video stream. The approach processes a video stream and identifies frames comprising text. The approach marks text extraction locations and extracts the text from the frames. The approach determines if a mirroring effect should be applied to the text and applies if applicable, creating enhanced text. The approach inserts the enhanced text and smooths the edges of the inserted enhanced text. The approach merges the frames with the enhanced text into the video stream, creating an enhanced video stream and sends the enhanced video stream to requesting users.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mohamed Zouhaier Ramadhane, Juan Manuel Avalos Vega, Daniela Ofelia Rojas Barrientos, Cesar Augusto Rodriguez Bravo

Patent number: 11921842Abstract: In an approach for multifactor authorization on hardware calls of resources, a processor receives a request for a hardware resource from a plurality of hardware resources being monitored. A processor calculates a risk level associated with the hardware resource of the request based on a respective risk level data repository. A processor, in response to a determination the risk level requires multifactor authorization, determines that a user associated with the request is logged in. A processor identifies a mechanism used by the user to log in. A processor determines whether a challenge associated with the multifactor authorization based on the mechanism is successful. A processor, in response to a determination the challenge associated with the multifactor authorization is successful, enables access to the hardware resource of the request.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: KYNDRYL, INC.Inventors: Cesar Augusto Rodriguez Bravo, David Alonso Campos Batista
