Patent number: 11195402Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system warn workers of a hazardous condition on a worksite. The method includes determining at least one outcome involving a worker and at least one worksite object based on conditions of the worksite. The method includes predicting whether a select one of the at least one outcome presents a hazardous condition to the worker. As a result of predicting that the select outcome presents the hazardous condition, the method includes transmitting a signal to a device associated with the worker. The signal triggers a warning to be received by the worker where the device is in a proximity of the worker.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Khoi-Nguyen Dao Tran, Jorge Andres Moros Ortiz, Timothy M.

Patent number: 11148062Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems directed towards implementing scene tagging. In particular, scene tagging is used to characterize user generated content associated with gameplay information associated with video games. Exemplary user generated content include video recordings or screenshots from within the video game that pertain to events that have occurred. Corresponding metadata would then be used to describe substantive aspects about the user-generated content such as details about where the recording or screenshot was taken, who was included in the user-generated content, and what objects are found in the user-generated content. The associated metadata would 1) allow users to search among various uploaded user generated content and 2) search within portions of those use-generated content for particular sub-sections of interest. Furthermore, the metadata associated with the user-generated content would allow viewers to experience the same events that were recorded.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment LLCInventors: Stephen Yong, Hu Peng, Khoi-Nguyen Duc Do

Publication number: 20210209009Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method for quantifying tester sentiment. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a first feedback data from a first tester, where the first feedback data represents feedback generated by the first tester in connection with a first instance of a first software-under-development. The first feedback data is correlated to an aspect of the first instance of the first software-under-development to derive a tester sentiment data. The tester sentiment data is used to determine a tester sentiment rating of the first instance of the software-under-development. Based on the tester sentiment rating, a resource is applied to the first instance of the first software-under-development.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Jorge Andres Moros Ortiz, Khoi-Nguyen Dao Tran, KIMIKO WILSON

Publication number: 20210201896Abstract: In some examples, a user, either a customer or potential customer of a business, engages in conversations with a virtual assistant (VA) provided by the business. The virtual assistant (VA) is further supported by one or more human assistants (HA), if needed. In embodiments, to facilitate seamless transitions between a VA and a HA, when needed, an intelligent decision maker (IDM) is provided. The IDM receives a user question and a proposed answer to the question from a VA, evaluates the proposed answer in the context of the conversation, and determines if the proposed answer requires further review by an HA. In response to a determination that the proposed answer requires further review, the IDM sends the proposed answer to an HA, and, in response to an indication by the HA, takes further action in the conversation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2019Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Khoi-Nguyen Dao TRAN, Jingshi LI, Mukesh Kumar MOHANIA, Jaysen OLLERENSHAW

Publication number: 20210192201Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for text classification are provided. The system detects a plurality of text regions in an image and generates a bounding box for each detected text region. The system utilizes a neural network to recognize text present within each bounding box and classifies the recognized text, based on at least one extracted feature of each bounding box and the recognized text present within each bounding box, according to a plurality of predefined tags. The system can associate a key with a value and return a key-value pair for each predefined tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: Insurance Services Office, Inc.Inventors: Khoi Nguyen, Maneesh Kumar Singh

Publication number: 20210090437Abstract: Location information associated with a parking area is received. Information about a plurality of vehicles parked in the parking area is determined. A first space located between a first parked vehicle and a first non-movable object located in front of the first parked vehicle is determined. The first space is comprised of a first required space and a first non-required space. A second space located between the first parked vehicle and a second non-movable object located behind the first parked vehicle is determined. The second space is comprised of a second required space and a second non-required space. Responsive to determining that the first non-required space is greater than the second non-required space, the first parked vehicle is moved towards the first space. After moving the first parked vehicle, the first space is equivalent to the first required space.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2019Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: COREY FRANCIS, Jorge Andres Moros Ortiz, Khoi-Nguyen Dao Tran

Patent number: 10942941Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting, using a processor system, a first delay in a conversation system. Initial contextual data is received at a first orchestration layer of the processor system, where the initial contextual data describes a context of a user. The first orchestration layer queries a first data source, based on the initial contextual data. Based on querying the first data source, the first orchestration layer augments the initial contextual data to determine updated contextual data describing the context of the user. Filler content personalized to the user is generated based on the updated contextual data describing the context of the user. The filler content is presented through a user interface during the first delay, responsive to detecting the first delay in the conversation system.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Khoi-Nguyen Dao Tran, Shaila Pervin, Jason Jingshi Li, Mukesh Kumar Mohania, Jey Han Lau, Will Dubyak

Patent number: 10857640Abstract: A lift assist and transfer assembly for lifting and moving a component through a travel distance is described. The assembly includes an overhead rail mounted to a ceiling of a work environment. The rail has a first end and a second end, corresponding to a loading area and a work area defining the travel distance. A carriage is slidably attached to the rail for supporting the component and a pneumatic cylinder element at the second end of the rail is attached an overhead fixture of the ceiling. The pneumatic cylinder element is biased into a retracted position and extends to an extended position upon actuation to move the second end of the rail downward. The carriage slides along the rail from the first end to the second end upon actuation of the cylinder to displace the second end of the rail such that the rail has a downward slope.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Khoi Nguyen, Mingyang Wu, Richard Stephenson
