  • Publication number: 20260236901
    Abstract: An adaptive payment collection system is disclosed. The system integrates closed-loop learning, wherein each payment attempt and outcome is logged and used to continuously update machine learning models predicting payment likelihood. A cost analysis module links communication costs to expected payment yield, enabling the system to optimize engagement strategies. A novel RPA/OCR virtual API layer provides PMS/EHR integration by retrieving pre-built reports, parsing them into structured data, and posting payments back, enabling rapid onboarding without IT overhead. Preferred embodiments apply in healthcare revenue cycle management to improve patient collections, accelerate revenue, and enhance patient engagement while maintaining HIPAA compliance.

  • Publication number: 20260210174
    Abstract: A screen enclosure access panel assembly designed to enable safe, efficient cleaning of rain gutters adjacent to pool screen enclosures. The present invention includes a rectangular aluminum support plate that spans the distance between vertical frame members of the screen enclosure, with a lower end secured to the rain gutter and an upper end attached to the screen panel. A hinged access panel, integrated into the support plate, allows the panel to be opened from within the screen enclosure for direct gutter access without requiring rooftop entry. A latch mechanism secures the panel in the closed position, preventing debris from entering the pool area. By facilitating gutter maintenance from within the enclosure, the present invention eliminates the risks associated with walking on the roof, helps maintain proper drainage, and reduces maintenance costs by preventing gutter blockages and overflow.

  • Patent number: 9442567
    Abstract: Methods for enabling hands-free selection of virtual objects are described. In some embodiments, a gaze swipe gesture may be used to select a virtual object. The gaze swipe gesture may involve an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) performing head movements that are tracked by the HMD to detect whether a virtual pointer controlled by the end user has swiped across two or more edges of the virtual object. In some cases, the gaze swipe gesture may comprise the end user using their head movements to move the virtual pointer through two edges of the virtual object while the end user gazes at the virtual object. In response to detecting the gaze swipe gesture, the HMD may determine a second virtual object to be displayed on the HMD based on a speed of the gaze swipe gesture and a size of the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 9367136
    Abstract: Methods for providing real-time feedback to an end user of a mobile device as they are interacting with or manipulating one or more virtual objects within an augmented reality environment are described. The real-time feedback may comprise visual feedback, audio feedback, and/or haptic feedback. In some embodiments, a mobile device, such as a head-mounted display device (HMD), may determine an object classification associated with a virtual object within an augmented reality environment, detect an object manipulation gesture performed by an end user of the mobile device, detect an interaction with the virtual object based on the object manipulation gesture, determine a magnitude of a virtual force associated with the interaction, and provide real-time feedback to the end user of the mobile device based on the interaction, the magnitude of the virtual force applied to the virtual object, and the object classification associated with the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 9245387
    Abstract: Methods for positioning virtual objects within an augmented reality environment using snap grid spaces associated with real-world environments, real-world objects, and/or virtual objects within the augmented reality environment are described. A snap grid space may comprise a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual space within an augmented reality environment in which one or more virtual objects may be positioned. In some embodiments, a head-mounted display device (HMD) may identify one or more grid spaces within an augmented reality environment, detect a positioning of a virtual object within the augmented reality environment, determine a target grid space of the one or more grid spaces in which to position the virtual object, determine a position of the virtual object within the target grid space, and display the virtual object within the augmented reality environment based on the position of the virtual object within the target grid space.
