  • Publication number: 20220301087
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computer program product for optimizing groupings in a breakout session in a virtual classroom. A computer retrieves profiles of students in the virtual classroom, where the profiles of the students include data of academic performances of the students. The computer retrieves a known correspondents archive which includes historic data of productivities correlated to interactions among the students. In response to initialization of the breakout session in the virtual classroom, the computer determines optimal groups that yield most productive results, based on the profiles of the students, the known correspondents archive, and requirements of group settings given by an instructor, using a machine learning model. The computer provides the instructor with the optimal groups. In another embodiment, the computer analyzes context of customized assignments for the breakout session and determines the optimal groups further based on the context to the customized assignments.

  • Patent number: 11356794
    Abstract: Upon an attempt to communicate through an audio input source in a voice session, a determination can be made whether an audio quality received from a user through the audio input source is below an audio quality threshold. In response to determining that the audio quality through the audio input source is below the audio quality threshold, a first voice input can be received from the user from a first position. A second voice input can be received from the user from a second position. A first volume of the first voice input from the first position can be compared to a second volume of the second voice input from the second position. Feedback can be provided to the user indicating whether the user is closer or farther from the audio input source based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11166075
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide smart device authentication and content transformation. A profile is created for members of a household. The member profiles include information about the members, including associated electronic devices, and a maximum allowable content rating (MACR). Using the associated electronic devices and/or other techniques, the presence of the members in proximity to content presentation devices is determined. In response to a member being detected in proximity to a content presentation device, and the content rating of the currently presented content exceeding the maximum allowable content rating (MACR) of the member in proximity, a content transformation is performed. The content transformation can include muting, pausing, changing, or otherwise obfuscating the presented content. Thus, the exposure of such content to the member is prevented or reduced. Embodiments allow users such as parents to obtain more control over the content that their children may be exposed to at their home.
