Patent number: 9571887Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process that determines information from a first media stream including a number of keywords associated with viewing habits of a user. A second media stream of a media program is scanned for one of a word or phrase corresponding to a keyword of the number of keywords. A second keyword is determined based on the one of the word or phrase, and additional information associated with the second keyword is identified. Results associated with the additional information are provided to a multimedia device. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Srinivas Bangalore, Mazin E. Gilbert, Michael Johnston

Patent number: 9570092Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, media, and programs for detecting an emotional state change in an audio signal are provided. A number of segments of the audio signal are analyzed based on separate lexical and acoustic evaluations, and, for each segment, an emotional state and a confidence score of the emotional state are determined. A current emotional state of the audio signal is tracked for each of the number of segments. For a particular segment, it is determined whether the current emotional state of the audio signal changes to another emotional state based on the emotional state and a comparison of the confidence score of the particular segment to a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Dimitrios Dimitriadis, Mazin E. Gilbert, Taniya Mishra, Horst J. Schroeter

Publication number: 20170019356Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a service platform that receives a chat request from a client device associated with a user. A chat database of previous chat sessions associated with other users is searched based on the chat request to identify a previous chat session corresponding to the chat request. Chat data corresponding to the previous chat session is retrieved from the chat database and sent to the client device. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2015Publication date: January 19, 2017Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventor: Mazin E. Gilbert

Publication number: 20160330394Abstract: Network connectivity is used to share relevant visual and other sensory information between vehicles, as well as delivering relevant information provided by network services to create an enhanced view of the vehicle's surroundings. The enhanced view is presented to the occupants of the vehicle to provide an improved driving experience and/or enable the occupants to take proper action (e.g., avoid obstacles, identify traffic delays, etc.). In one example, the enhanced view comprises information that is not visible to the naked eye and/or cannot be currently sensed by the vehicle's sensors (e.g., due to a partial or blocked view, low visibility conditions, hardware capabilities of the vehicle's sensors, position of the vehicle's sensors, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: Behzad Shahraray, Alicia Abella, David Crawford Gibbon, Mazin E. Gilbert, Michael J. Johnston, Horst J. Schroeter, Jay Gordon Wilpon

Patent number: 9355650Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, media, and programs for detecting an emotional state change in an audio signal are provided. A plurality of segments of the audio signal is received, with the plurality of segments being sequential. Each segment of the plurality of segments is analyzed, and, for each segment, an emotional state and a confidence score of the emotional state are determined. The emotional state and the confidence score of each segment are sequentially analyzed, and a current emotional state of the audio signal is tracked throughout each of the plurality of segments. For each segment, it is determined whether the current emotional state of the audio signal changes to another emotional state based on the emotional state and the confidence score of the segment.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Dimitrios Dimitriadis, Mazin E.

Publication number: 20150364139Abstract: A system for sensor enhanced speech recognition is disclosed. The system may obtain visual content or other content associated with a user and an environment of the user. Additionally, the system may obtain, from the visual content, metadata associated with the user and the environment of the user. The system may also include determining, based on the visual content and metadata, if the user is speaking. If the user is determined to be speaking, the system may obtain audio content associated with the user and the environment. The system may then adapt, based on the visual content, audio content, and metadata, one or more acoustic models that match the user and the environment. Once the one or more acoustic models are adapted and loaded, the system may enhance a speech recognition process or other process associated with the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Dimitrios Dimitriadis, Donald J. Bowen, Mazin E. Gilbert, Horst J. Schroeter
