  • Publication number: 20240386369
    Abstract: A method for extending the range of a delivery drone is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes enabling a customer of a supply chain provider to selectively include a drone charging station of the customer in a drone charging network of the supply chain provider. The method gathers parameters associated with the drone charging station and updates a drone charging map of the supply chain provider to include the drone charging station and its associated parameters. The method further generates, on behalf of the supply chain provider, a delivery plan that utilizes the drone charging station included in the drone charging network. The customer is compensated, by the supply chain provider, for utilization of the drone charging station in executing the delivery plan. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11893220
    Abstract: An embodiment for generating and modifying graphical user interface elements based on user item interests. The embodiment may detect a user interacting with a connected application. The embodiment may determine item interests of the detected user. The embodiment may generate and store a personalized user profile based on the determined item interests of the user. The embodiment may, in response to detecting a query made by the user, extract from the detected query interest topics, subject matter, and a series of associated key terms. The embodiment may determine a highest-prioritized key term. The embodiment may identify a first GUI element displayed by the connected application based on the detected query. The embodiment may generate, using a generative adversarial network (GAN), a custom GUI element based on the highest-prioritized key term. The embodiment may replace the first GUI element with the custom GUI element.
