  • Patent number: 11657607
    Abstract: Non-intrusive image identification includes acquiring an image and connectivity data at a network-connected computing node via a data communications network. The image is captured by an image-capturing device remotely located from the computing node. The connectivity data is associated with one or more devices located within a predetermined vicinity of the image-capturing device. Connectivity data can be correlated with electronically stored networking data associated with the one or more devices to determine an identity of one or more device users. The correlating includes electronically searching one or more network-connected sources of networking data and, based on the connectivity data, matching the one or more devices to the one or more device users. Image-tagging data corresponding to one or more selected individual device users is generated, and the image is tagged with the image-tagging data for identifying one or more individuals appearing in the image.

  • Patent number: 11281475
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach loads an application page on a display that includes a set of reusable components. The approach collects a set of individual load times in response to loading the application page that indicate an amount of time that each one of the set of reusable components takes to render on the display. The approach matches the set of individual load times to the set of reusable components and provides the set of reusable components with the matched set of individual load times to a developer.

  • Patent number: 11133955
    Abstract: System and methods for testing smart device functions within a smart environment are disclosed. In embodiments, a method includes accessing test case data that associates one or more smart device commands with an event type based on historic event data from a plurality of participating smart environments; determining a test case for the event type based on the test case data, wherein the test case is configured to initiate a test of a smart device command of a smart device within a smart environment of a participant; determining that the test case can be initiated at the smart environment based on rules and participant data indicating a location of the participant with respect to the smart environment; and initiating execution of the test case by a smart device controller of the smart environment, wherein the execution causes the smart device controller to test the smart device command.
