Patent number: 12238058Abstract: Message filtering and management systems in a chat forward task facilitation communication system are described. One implementation involves receiving one or more pre-filtering inputs from a member, where the inputs include task associations to identify message types to hide or display from a real-time chat interface based on the task associations. A set of messages are processed in real-time using a filtering algorithm to associate one or more tasks with messages of the set of messages, where the one or more tasks correspond to a set of tasks performable by the representative on behalf of the member. A first message is displayed based on the one or more pre-filtering inputs and a first task association with the first message, and a second message is hidden or not displayed based on the one or more pre-filtering inputs and a second task association with the second message.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2023Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Yohana LLCInventors: Yoky Matsuoka, Defne Civelekoglu, Gwendolyn W. van der Linden, Nitin Viswanathan, Malia Beaulieu, Lingyun Liu, Benjamin Deming, Sean Paterson

Patent number: 12224972Abstract: Automated message tagging in a chat forward task facilitation communication system is described. One implementation involves receiving a set of messages between a member and a representative as the set of messages are being exchanged, processing the set of messages to identify one or more task flags associated with the set of messages, where the one or more task flags correspond to a set of tasks performable by the representative on behalf of the member, and tracking a chat flow within a chat interface, wherein the set of messages are exchanged within the chat interface. The chat flow is processed using a tagging algorithm to automatically assign at least one of the one or more task flags to messages of the set of messages, and message history is generated including the set of messages and corresponding task flag assignments with associated tasks of the set of tasks.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2024Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: Yohana LLCInventors: Yoky Matsuoka, Defne Civelekoglu, Gwendolyn W. van der Linden, Nitin Viswanathan, Malia Beaulieu, Lingyun Liu, Benjamin Deming, Sean Paterson

Publication number: 20240403753Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and recommending tasks that may be performed in order to achieve member goals are provided. A system processes messages in real-time as these messages are exchanged to identify a goal and a timeframe from achieving the goal. Based on the goal and the corresponding timeframe, the system identifies task groupings corresponding to different methods for achieving the goal. The task groupings are ordered according to the likelihood of the member selecting a task grouping. When a member selects a task grouping, the system can monitor in real-time the performance of tasks of the task grouping to determine whether the goal is being achieved. If any tasks are not being performed successfully, the system can automatically adjust the remaining tasks, select new tasks, and/or adjust the timeframe for achieving the goal in order to provide the member with an opportunity to achieve the goal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Yoky Matsuoka, Nitin Viswanathan, Gwendolyn W. van der Linden, Amy Y.

Publication number: 20240403768Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a framework to identify and recommend tasks that can be performed for the benefit of a member. Through this framework, a member is assigned with a representative that, over time, learns about the member's preferences and behavior, which can be used to recommend tasks that can be performed to reduce the member's cognitive load. Further, as the representative develops a relationship with the member over time, the representative can also curate experiences for the member and assist the member in achieving personal goals and ambitions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Yoky Matsuoka, Defne Civelekoglu, Senthilvasan Supramaniam, Gwendolyn W. van der Linden, Nitin Viswanathan, David L.
