  • Patent number: 11817011
    Abstract: Digital teaching content ordering includes receiving, by a data processing system, digital teaching content and any corresponding annotations and content heuristic(s) from a teacher or other presenter, the digital teaching content including text and/or image(s). The data processing system monitors student gaze of the digital teaching content during a class and can cognitively skip some of the digital teaching content during the class based on the monitored student gaze and content heuristic(s). The system can also cognitively modify the digital teaching content outside of class based, in part, on the monitoring and the content heuristic(s). A hypergraph of the digital teaching content may also be received, the cognitively skipping being further based on the hypergraph, and the cognitively modifying being further based on a heat map built using the hypergraph and the student gaze.

  • Patent number: 11340763
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for non-linear video navigation. The method, computer program product and computer system may include a computing device that collects source content and source content metadata from a content device. The computing device may extract the metadata from the source content and store the source content and the metadata on a server. The computing device may receive user profile data from a user device. The computing device may map the semantic data of the source content, the metadata, and the user profile data to a knowledge graph. The computing device may create navigational panels for navigating the source content based on the knowledge graph, the navigational panels enabling non-linear navigation of the source content by a user. The computing device may provide the navigational panels to the user device.

  • Patent number: 11010801
    Abstract: Price transparency via aggregation of real-time quoted prices is provided. Real-time quoted service price data corresponding to a service application is collected from registered client devices. The real-time quoted service price data corresponding to the service application is aggregated. It is determined whether a price quoted to a client device by the service application is fair based on the aggregated real-time quoted service price data. In response to determining that the price quoted to the client device by the service application is unfair, a graphical input button is provided within a price transparency display on the client device that enables a user of the client device to send a complaint to a service provider corresponding to the service application with a price transparency log.

  • Patent number: 10795671
    Abstract: Audiovisual documentation of source code in an integrated development environment. A computing device initiates a knowledge transfer session for discussion of source code and generation of audiovisual source code documentation explaining segments of source code from a code base. An audiovisual interface containing a segment of code from the code base is displayed within the integrated development environment. Audio during the knowledge transfer session is recorded with a recording device. Code tracking indicators from an optical tracking device operated by a user are received when the user is reviewing and focused on the segment of code. The computing device determines via the code tracking indicators a module of the segment of code under review. Portions of the recorded audio are associated with the determined module of the segment of code to generate audiovisual source code documentation. The knowledge transfer session is terminated.
