  • Patent number: 11816616
    Abstract: Computing systems, methods and management tools for scheduling, optimizing and completing a dynamically adjustable workflow process. The computing systems, methods and management tools being capable of evaluating the availability of resources available for completing the workflow process and ascertaining the reliability of the resources in order to pre-generate a workflow process schedule. The computing systems, methods and management tools are further able to communicate with the assigned resources to incrementally negotiate and receive approval for proposed improvements to the pre-generated workflow schedule prior to implementation of the workflow schedule in order to optimize the cycle time of the process and increase probability of successfully completing the workflow process. The computing systems, methods and management tools may dynamically track the due dates for completing particular tasks and generate amended workflow process schedules in the event a failure occurs.

  • Patent number: 11763677
    Abstract: An approach is provided for dynamically identifying a danger zone for a predicted traffic accident and generating a warning about the accident. From a monitoring device at a first location, information about traffic conditions for vehicles at time T0 and at least one subsequent time T0+t is received. Based on speeds of the vehicles and a fixed distance from the first location, a response time is calculated. Within the response time, a dual artificial intelligence (AI) model using shallow and deep learners applied on historical accident data is employed. Based on the dual AI model and the traffic conditions, an accident involving vehicle(s) in the traffic is predicted to occur in a zone. A warning about the accident is generated and sent to device(s) in the vehicle(s). The warning is presented to driver(s) of the vehicle(s).

  • Patent number: 11282497
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method for dynamic text reading. The method includes performing pre-processing for a text document. Pre-processing includes determining the text document comprises an emotional statement based on an indicator of an emotion associated with the emotional statement. Pre-processing also includes identifying a speaker of the emotional statement. Further, pre-processing includes generating a role-to-voice map that associates the speaker with a digital representation of a voice for the speaker. The method additionally includes generating, based on the pre-processing, the voice for the speaker reading aloud a text of the text document using the digital representation of the voice with a tonal modulation that conveys the emotion.

  • Patent number: 10229677
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system launches an application with a preferred user interface (UI) language on a device. The method and system receive a voice command from a user to open an application on a device having a computer. The voice command is compared to a stored command language in an audio file device. The system and method initiates opening the application, in response to determining that the voice command matches the stored command language. The application is identified based on the voice command. The system and method determines a preferred language for the software application based on a language file stored on the computer readable medium and the language file being associated with the stored audio file. The method and system opens the application in response to the voice command, and sets the preferred language for a user interface (UI) of the device in response to the determined preferred language.
