  • Patent number: 10382937
    Abstract: An occurrence of an emergency situation pertinent to people presently located within a venue can be identified. Responsive to identifying the emergency situation pertinent to the people located within the venue, a first level of security clearance assigned to a user located within the venue, and a present location within the venue of a first mobile device of the user, can be automatically determined. A route, from the present location within the venue of the first mobile device to an exit of the venue, which does not require the user to be assigned a second level of security clearance that is higher than the first level of security clearance for the user to traverse the route, also can be determined. An emergency alert and an emergency plan for exiting the venue can be automatically communicated to the mobile device, wherein the emergency plan for exiting the venue describes the route.

  • Patent number: 10091355
    Abstract: A call can be received from a user. At least one input can be received from the user. Responsive to receiving the input(s) from the user, a user profile for the user can be identified or created. The user profile can indicate one or more speech traits of the user. A virtual intelligent voice response (VIVR) agent individually configured for the user can be identified or created. The VIVR agent can be configured to include, or identify, one or more VIVR agent features corresponding to the speech trait(s) of the user. The user can be interacted with on the call by generating synthesized speech using parameters specified by the VIVR agent feature(s) included in, or identified by, the VIVR agent individually configured for the user.

  • Publication number: 20180278745
    Abstract: A communication device associated with a first party monitors a call between the first party and a second party. The communication device identifies a request for sensitive information from the second party during the call. The communication device determines whether the requested sensitive information matches sensitive information stored in an encrypted data store by determining whether a text representation of the requested sensitive information matches a text representation of the sensitive information stored in the encrypted data store. The communication device sends, responsive to determining that the requested for sensitive information matches the stored sensitive information, the requested sensitive information to the second party.

  • Patent number: 9635507
    Abstract: A computing device generates profiles based on mobile device data. The computing device receives a plurality of mobile device records of a plurality of mobile devices in a region, that each include a timestamp, a location data, and an activity data, and assigns each of the plurality of mobile device records to one of a plurality of space-time boxes. The computing device performs analytics on the mobile device records assigned to the plurality of space-time boxes to yield a resulting plurality of profiles, which can include a mobility profile indicating the number of locations in the region that each mobile device occupies during a span, a hangout profile indicating the number of mobile devices that occupy each location in the region during a span, and a buddy profile indicating the mobile devices that occupy the same location in the region as a given mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20140229858
    Abstract: One or more computing devices proximate to a source device are identified. The source device is an end-user device having a touch sensitive surface. A gesture performed on the touch sensitive surface is detected. The gesture indicates a selection of a displayed representation of content and indicates a direction. The gesture is at least one of a touch based gesture, a stylus based gesture, a keyboard based gesture, and a pointing device gesture. A target device or a device proxy is determined that is within line-of-site of a human being that made the gesture and that is in the direction of the gesture. An action programmatically executes involving the gesture selected content and the determined target device or device proxy.
