  • Patent number: 11196551
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of receiving user profile identification data associated with a user profile, creating a smart contract on a blockchain with the user profile identification data, validating an identity of the user profile based on the user profile identification data, performing a predictive analysis by the smart contract to determine one or more future tasks to be performed by a user device associated with the user profile, generating one or more tokens associated with the user profile, the one or more tokens include access rights for the user device to perform the one or more future tasks, and storing the one or more tokens in the blockchain.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10772269
    Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for monitoring and managing crops. Crop selection, planting, growth, and harvest are monitored based on sensor input as well as contextual information, allowing automated decisions and actions that increase efficiency at every stage of the farming process. Contextual information includes historical crop information and other statistics pertaining to a specific location under cultivation. Improved farm output and efficient use of resources are key results using the systems and methods.

  • Patent number: 10762584
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system and method for collection of water point data from a distribution of water points to generate a digital aquifer. The disclosure includes a system to generate and collect water point data through devices supported by frugal innovations that address resource constraints. Use of the systems and methods as described enable water point users to better plan and manage limited water resources.

  • Publication number: 20200159777
    Abstract: A first set of data signals is received from a first user device associated with a first user. Temporal properties associated with the first user are determined from the first set of data signals. The temporal properties may include a current cognitive state of the first user and environment context associated the first user. Responsive to detecting the temporal properties, contact entries associated with the first user device are dynamically structured. A second user is selected from the dynamically structured contact entries. The first user device may be automatically or autonomously triggered to initiate a communication with the second user via the first user device.

  • Publication number: 20200090648
    Abstract: An inventive system includes a first electronic device, such as a cellular phone, that implements a method of detecting a voice conversation via the first electronic device; detecting an interruption of continuity of the voice conversation; and adapting operation of the first electronic device to maintain the continuity of the voice conversation. For example, adapting operation of the first electronic device may include auto-completing the voice conversation during the interruption of continuity. As another example, adapting operation of the first electronic device may include generating a text summary of the voice conversation during the interruption of continuity by activating a speech-to-text function and then transmitting to a second electronic device an electronic signal encoding the text summary. The method may include detecting a level of importance of the voice conversation by identifying a topic of the voice conversation.
