Patent number: 10354127Abstract: One or more audio feedback output devices receive warning signals for controlling types of audio output by the audio output devices, the warning signals representing that a predicted behavior of a monitored user represents a particular behavior that is potentially adverse and a percentage probability that the predicted behavior is adverse, the monitored user detected within a particular environment monitored by a supervising user, audio feedback output devices worn by the supervising user. The audio feedback output devices operative to control the types of audio outputs of the audio output devices that are detectable by the supervising user wearing the audio feedback output devices according to the warning signals to specifically alert the supervising user that the predicted behavior of the monitored user represents the particular behavior that is potentially adverse and the percentage probability that the predicted behavior is adverse.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: SINOEAST CONCEPT LIMITEDInventors: Jacob C.

Patent number: 9800640Abstract: An approach is provided in which in which a data stream encoder resynchronizes a reference template to a data stream by loading a lock step buffer and a look-ahead buffer with template data blocks retrieved from the reference template. The data stream encoder determines that the lock step buffer's template data is different from a data stream data block and, in turn, preserves the template data block in the look-ahead buffer for subsequent resynchronization. In turn, the data stream encoder matches the look-ahead buffer's preserved template data with a subsequent data stream data block and resynchronizes the reference template to the data stream accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanak B. Agarwal, Michael A. Paolini

Patent number: 9779447Abstract: A rendering constraint is detected for a maximum time between capture of each a plurality of frames of a captured video stream of a consumer and a rendering of each corresponding frame of a consumer representation comprising a rendered three dimensional model rendered to depict a consumer appearance and a movement wearing a particular merchandise item. Processor elements accessible to the at least one computing system are selected that are able to generate the rendered three dimensional model within the time period specified in the rendering constraint. At least one processing task is directed to the selected processor elements to build the consumer representation comprising the three dimensional model and generate a rendering of the three dimensional model wearing the particular merchandise item as the captured video stream is received in real time at the at least one computer system.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventor: Michael A.

Patent number: 9106252Abstract: In response to receiving an input string to be compressed, a plurality of diverse lossless compression techniques are applied to the input string to obtain a plurality of compressed strings. The plurality of diverse lossless compression techniques include a template-based compression technique and a non-template-based compression technique. A most compressed string among the plurality of compressed strings is selected. A determination is made regarding whether or not the most compressed string was obtained by application of the template-based compression technique. In response to determining that the most compressed string was obtained by application of the template-based compression technique, the most compressed string is compressed utilizing the non-template-based compression technique to obtain an output string and outputting the output string.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanak B.

Patent number: 9106251Abstract: In response to receipt of an input string, an attempt is made to identify, in a template store, a closely matching template for use as a compression template. In response to identification of a closely matching template that can be used as a compression template, the input string is compressed into a compressed string by reference to a longest common subsequence compression template. Compressing the input string includes encoding, in a compressed string, an identifier of the compression template, encoding substrings of the input string not having commonality with the compression template of at least a predetermined length as literals, and encoding substrings of the input string having commonality with the compression template of at least the predetermined length as a jump distance without reference to a base location in the compression template. The compressed string is then output.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kanak B. Agarwal, Damir A.

Patent number: 9088645Abstract: A method, system, and program for intermediary device initiated caller identification are provided. A trusted telephone network detects a call initiation connection from an origin device. The trusted telephone network then brokers a connection between the origin device and an external server enabled to perform a caller identity authentication service. A voice utterance for a caller is received at the external server from the origin device. The server authenticates a caller identity associated with the voice utterance and transfer the authenticated caller identity to the trusted telephone network. The trusted telephone network then specifies services available for the call according to a caller profile for the authenticated caller identity.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2001Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Wayne Brown, Joseph Herbert McIntyre, Michael A.

Patent number: 9058698Abstract: A capture system captures detectable attributes of a user. A differential system compares the detectable attributes with a normalized model of attributes, wherein the normalized model of attributes characterize normal representative attribute values across a sample of a plurality of users and generates differential attributes representing the differences between the detectable attributes and the normalized model of attributes. Multiple separate avatar creator systems receive the differential attributes and each apply the differential attributes to different base avatars to create custom avatars which reflect a selection of the detectable attributes of the user which are distinguishable from the normalized model of attributes.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: KING.COM LTD.Inventors: Scott T.
