  • Patent number: 11692836
    Abstract: In an approach to assessing safety of a vehicle based on usage context, one or more computer processors receive a planned usage of a vehicle from a user. Based on the received planned usage, one or more computer processors determine a set of preferred vehicle characteristics. One or more computer processors retrieve a maintenance record and a usage history of a first vehicle. Based on the maintenance record and the usage history, one or more computer processors determine one or more vehicle characteristics of the first vehicle. Based on the set of preferred characteristics and the one or more vehicle characteristics of the first vehicle, one or more computer processors calculate a usage match score. One or more computer processors generate a risk assessment report.

  • Publication number: 20220414693
    Abstract: A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include receiving an opt-in from a user and detecting, automatically, an experience of the user. The operations may further include determining an impact potential of the experience and deciding a response strategy based on the impact potential. The operations may also include implementing the response strategy.

  • Patent number: 11422911
    Abstract: In an approach to determine performance information of a target item operating under a particular set of context information, a method, in response to receiving a request for performance information of a target item, and operating with a first computing device, identifies context information of the first computing device. The method determines whether a knowledge base includes a response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item operating within context information similar to the first computing device. The method, in response to determining that the knowledge base includes the response that correlates to the request for performance information of the target item, sends the performance information to the first computing device, and initiates a communication channel between the first computing device and a second computing device operating the target item and having similar context information of the first computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220067800
    Abstract: A system for generating responses to operational feedback is provided. A computing device identifies operational feedback directed towards an entity. The computing device determines a context for the operational feedback, wherein the context includes a plurality of features relating to the operational feedback. The computing device retrieves operational data associated with the entity, wherein the operational data corresponds to points in time that are within a predetermined time frame of the context. The computing device evaluates the context and the operational data against a quality of service attribute of the entity. The computing device generates a positive response towards the operational feedback based, at least in part, on the evaluating, wherein the context and the operational data are indicative of an anomaly in the quality of service attribute.

  • Patent number: 10992714
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of an authentication system determining authentication rules, the authentication system determining scan properties, the authentication system operating a scanning device to capture scan data for a physical object based on the scan properties and the authentication rules, the authentication system generating a data block based on the scan data and the scan properties, and the authentication system transmitting the data block to a decentralized database.

  • Publication number: 20210097838
    Abstract: A method for monitoring safety conditions within an environment includes monitoring an environment by identifying one or more users accessing the environment based on existing and generic profiles selected based on visual recognition and analysis techniques, and consensually monitoring activity within the environment. A context of a situation of the one or more users accessing the environment is determined, based on a set of predetermined rules tailored to the environment, identified users of the one or more users, and monitoring data from monitoring the activity of the one or more users within the environment. Responsive to determining the context of the situation within the environment is an unsafe, based on the monitoring data and the set of predetermined rules, a mitigating action is selected from a set of mitigating actions corresponding to the determined context of the situation, and the mitigating action that is selected is automatically deployed.

  • Patent number: 10587702
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method, system and computer program product for the continuous cognitive discovery and management of cloud services in an aggregated distributed application. One method includes receiving a textual specification of cloud service criteria, searching a registry for cloud services corresponding to the textual specification and presenting locating cloud services corresponding to the textual specification. Thereafter, the located cloud services are ranked and presented and one or more of the presented cloud services are selected for deployment and deployed as part of an aggregated distributed application. Thereafter, the registry is searched to locate and rank new cloud services based upon the textual specification, and in response to determining that one of the new cloud services is ranked higher than an existing one of the cloud services already deployed, the determined one of the new cloud services is deployed into the aggregated distributed application.
