  • Patent number: 9296395
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for cognitive state supported automotive travel are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A detection is made that an event in a vehicle is outside of acceptable bounds for that event. A determination is made whether the event being outside of acceptable bounds is a result of a cognitive state of a person operating the vehicle. Responsive to the event being a result of the cognitive state of the person, an indication of the cognitive state of the person being below a threshold level of cognitive abilities is generated. An action corresponding to the cognitive state is performed. The action causes the vehicle to operate with improved safety.

  • Publication number: 20130251264
    Abstract: A method for analyzing groups of hand-drawn inputs receives from a set of computing devices a corresponding set of hand-drawn inputs. A user in a group of users interacts with a device in the set of devices to provide a hand-drawn input in the set of hand-drawn inputs corresponding to the device. The method analyzes a subset of the set of hand-drawn inputs to determine an accuracy of the hand-drawn inputs in the subset. The method generating a result responsive to the analyzing and presents the result.
