  • Patent number: 12602378
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatus, media, design structures, and other implementations, including a method that includes receiving, at a local device from a remote device, query data representative of a question relating to source content of a source document of a repository of a plurality of source documents, with the source content being associated with transformed content accessible from the local device. The method further includes generating, in response to determination, at the local device, of a match between the query data and at least one portion of the transformed content, output data comprising one or more of a pointer to access, in the source document accessible from the remote device, at least one portion of the source document corresponding to the at least one portion of the transformed content, or a copy of the at least one portion of the source document.

  • Patent number: 10887759
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence system monitors and records usage of a set of mobile devices that have been “paired” or grouped together. The system, over time, accumulates a history of times and locations associated with events that occur with respect to the devices. From this history, the system develops a usage model for the devices. The system, if it detects current usage diverges significantly from an expected usage, performs responsive actions which may include: notifying a user, via a paired device, that the mobile device may be lost or misplaced; command the “lost” mobile device to enter a reduced power state, to prolong battery life; and/or command the “lost” device to emit audible and/or visible signals intended to facilitate locating the device. In some embodiments, the system predicts an imminent loss of the device before it becomes lost, based on current usage vs. expected usage embodied in the model.

  • Patent number: 10839419
    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining a product value score. Features of a product are identified. Ranking data for each identified feature is collected. The ranking data includes popularity, stability, availability, and memory usage of each feature. Additional data for each feature are determined. The additional data includes an importance, a conversion rate, and a marketing impact of each feature. Based on the ranking data and the additional data, normalized data is generated according to characteristics of the features. Based on a data science prediction analysis which uses the identified features, weights of the features are determined. Based on initial results of the data science prediction analysis, a key product is selected from a set of products. Based on the key product and the weights, product value scores of products in the set of products are determined.
