  • Patent number: 12216713
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for a wearable multimedia device and cloud computing platform with an application ecosystem for processing multimedia data captured by the wearable multimedia device. In an embodiment, a method for using a machine learning model to provide data corresponding to a query comprises receiving a query for data stored in one or more databases. A prompt file is determined for the query. The prompt file and the query are provided as input for a machine learning model configured to generate a prediction for the query. Training the machine learning model can include updating network parameters in the machine learning model based on the prompt file. The prediction generated for the query is received. The prediction comprises a predicted database query corresponding to the query, and a level of accuracy is determined for the predicted database query.

  • Patent number: 9508207
    Abstract: The system provides a method and apparatus for providing controlled access to premises. The system in one embodiment uses a reader/scanner associated with a controlled entrance that can receive credentials manually or via scanning or some other form of electronic communication. In one embodiment, the system uses NFC (Near Field Communication) from a mobile device to determine if access should be granted. The system contemplates a number of different tiers of users whose right of access to a location depends on the tier in which the user resides. For one time visitors, the system contemplates transmitting an access credential that can be used by a specific user for a limited time period. In some cases, the access credential is tied to a particular device.

  • Publication number: 20160070925
    Abstract: The system provides a method and apparatus for allowing the creation of customized private social networks through a dashboard interface. A user invokes the social network building interface and selects desired features for the network by selecting one of a plurality of possible features. When a feature is selected, the system guides the user through parameters and metrics to implement that feature as desired by the user. The system is implemented through a cloud based architecture that provides components that are used in the private social network, including services such as database, caching, load balancing, security, encryption, dynamic link control, and others. These services and components are accessed and invoked through a series of function calls through an API that allows the creation of a scalable number of private social networks.
