Patent number: 10957105Abstract: Providing of an electronic map displaying preferred real-world locations to utilize in connection with an augmented reality world. A request is received at a server computer to provide the electronic map to utilize in connection with the augmented reality world. A geolocation is received. Real-world locations in a vicinity are queried from a real-world location profile. A virtual location profile of virtual locations in the augmented reality world is accessed to generate an initial virtual location set. A participant preference profile containing virtual preferences and real-world preferences is accessed. Real-time participant data is accessed. The virtual locations in the initial virtual location set are prioritized to generate a prioritized virtual location set.

Patent number: 10834453Abstract: An approach is provided that provides a dynamic live feed recommendation to a user on the basis of the user's real-time reaction to a live feed content. A video is transmitted to a user's display device with the video including a number of tagged segments. Multimedia response data is received from the user's display device of the user watching the content. A degree of user engagement is determined based on the received multimedia response data corresponding to the content segments. When user engagement falls below a threshold, then alternative content options are identified based on the determined degree of user engagement and these alternative content options are transmitted to the user display device for display in an area proximate to the display of the video content.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Laurent Tillette de Clermont-Tonnerre, Mark Delaney, Robert H.

Patent number: 10798446Abstract: Methods and systems for use in processing streaming video content to determine portions of interest to a viewer and arrange content display accordingly. In various examples, a streaming video processing system determines a plurality of media content tags associated with streaming video content, including a first tag associated with a stored portion of the streaming video content and a second tag associated with a current portion of the streaming video content. The system calculates a first interest correlation value based on the first tag and a cognitive profile associated with a content requestor, and a second interest correlation value based on the second tag and the cognitive profile. When the first interest correlation value indicates a greater interest level than the second interest correlation value, the system facilitates display of the stored portion of the streaming video content prior to display of the current portion of the streaming video content.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark Delaney, Robert Grant, Trudy L.
