  • Patent number: 10599980
    Abstract: Technologies for providing cues to a user of a cognitive cuing system are disclosed. The cues can be based on the context of the user. The cognitive cuing system communicates with a knowledge-based system which provides information based on the context, such as the name of a person and the relationship the user of the cognitive cuing system has with the person. The cues can be provided to the user of the cognitive cuing system through visual, auditory, or haptic means.
