Patent number: 11977834Abstract: In one implementation, an asynchronous communications system for distributing communications among selected users whereby those users can generate and distribute new content based upon received communications may include a server for maintaining a plurality of asynchronous communicated content. The communicated content includes a video communication, a transcript synchronized to at least a part of an audio track of the video communication, a distribution list of recipients of the communicated content, and any annotations made to the communicated content. The system further includes an interactive graphical user interface operable on a device of a user. The device is in communication with the server to access communicated content received by the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: CollegeNET, Inc.Inventors: James H. Wolfston, Jr., Herts Chen, Jeff M. Bolton, Stuthi Neal Vennapusapalle, Mikhail A. Krughkov

Publication number: 20240127826Abstract: A voice-based authentication system receives uttered words from a user (e.g., a human speaker); compares the uttered words with an authentication text that includes high-confidence corpus words and one or more low-confidence corpus words from previous training or authentication; identifies high-confidence uttered words and at least one low-confidence uttered word based on the comparison with the authentication text; compares the high-confidence uttered words with a threshold; determines that the at least one low-confidence uttered word corresponds to any of the low-confidence corpus words of the authentication text; and grants access to a resource (e.g., a user account, a document, a building, or a vehicle) based on the comparison of the high-confidence uttered words with a threshold and on the determination that the at least one low-confidence uttered word corresponds to any of the one or more low-confidence corpus words.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James H.

Publication number: 20180192125Abstract: Aspects of an asynchronous video interview system and related techniques include a server that receives a plurality of pre-recorded video prompts, generates an interview script, transmits a video prompt from the interview script to be displayed at a client computing device, and receives a streamed video response from the client computing device. The server can perform algorithmic analysis on content of the video response. In another aspect, a server obtains response preference data indicating a timing parameter for a response. In another aspect, a video prompt and an information supplement (e.g., a news item) that relates to the content of the video prompt are transmitted. In another aspect, a server automatically selects a video prompt (e.g., a follow-up question) to be displayed at the client computing device (e.g., based on a response or information about an interviewee).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Applicant: CollegeNET, Inc.Inventors: Jeff M. Bolton, James H. Wolfston, JR.
