Patent number: 9747814Abstract: An approach to notifying a person who is hard of hearing of audible events based on a configurable device. The device has microphones and associated buttons mounted on its surface. The user programs the device by depressing a selected button longer than a preconfigured time to place the device in listen mode. The user generates the desired audible event and the device records the audible event. The selected button is depressed again to instruct the device to associate the audible event with a visual alarm indicator of colored/flashing lights and/or a text projection. The device listens for the audible event and activates the visual alarm indicator when the device detects the audible event.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Arthur J. Bariska, Jr., Joel L. Masser, Kevin D. McKenzie, Eileen P. Tedesco

Patent number: 9749468Abstract: A method for screening an incoming call is provided. The method may include receiving a transmission of the incoming call in a user device. The method may include determining the incoming call originates from an area code of a telephone number associated with the user device. The method may include determining call information associated with a telephone number is stored within a database. The method may include determining at least one previous call from the telephone number has a call duration that does not satisfy a user preconfigured call duration threshold. The method may include determining the at least one determined previous call satisfies a maximum short call duration threshold. The method may also include determining a previous call frequency count satisfies a user preconfigured frequency threshold. The method may further include displaying the incoming call and an incorrectly dialed call notification on a display screen of the user device.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tracy C.
