  • Patent number: 11477302
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for distributed activity detection is provided. Contextual data collected for a user performing an activity is processed on a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device extracts features from the contextual data and compares the features with a set of models. Each model represents an activity. A confidence score is assigned to each model based on the comparison with the features and the mobile computing device transmits the features to a server when the confidence scores for the models are low. The server trains a new model using the features and sends the new model to the mobile computing device.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180012229
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing contextually relevant servicing is provided. A request for servicing is received via a call center and assigned to a user. A context of the user is tracked via sensors that are associated with the user. An activity performed by the user during the servicing is determined based on the context, and one or more recommendations relevant to the identified activity are provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20050253623
    Abstract: A discharge guard circuit for use in combination with an integrated circuit that prevents the integrated circuit logic from damage or upset caused by system generated electromagnetic pulses at the integrated circuit outputs. The integrated circuit core logic is isolated from the output drivers and the discharge guard circuit, and the integrated circuit is configured to route system generated electromagnetic pulse current through the discharge guard circuit and out of the integrated circuit.
