  • Patent number: 11817095
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring a plurality of conversations within a monitored space to generate a conversation data set; processing the conversation data set using machine learning to: define a system-directed command for an ACI system, and associate one or more conversational contexts with the system-directed command; detecting the occurrence of a specific conversational context within the monitored space, wherein the specific conversational context is included in the one or more conversational contexts associated with the system-directed command; and executing, in whole or in part, functionality associated with the system-directed command in response to detecting the occurrence of the specific conversational context without requiring the utterance of the system-directed command and/or a wake-up word/phrase.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210210200
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring a plurality of encounter participants is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a user encounter. The encounter information is processed to: associate at least a first portion of the encounter information with at least one known encounter participant, and associate at least a second portion of the encounter information with at least one unknown encounter participant. A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for populating records via semantic frames is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a user encounter. The encounter information is processed to generate an encounter transcript.

  • Publication number: 20190051374
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for populating medical records via semantic frames is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is processed to generate an encounter transcript. At least one semantic frame is generated based, at least in part, upon at least one portion of the encounter transcript, wherein the at least one semantic frame defines an abstract meaning for the at least one portion of the encounter transcript.
