  • Patent number: 11455693
    Abstract: Visual focal point composition of media capture based on a target audience is provided. An aspect includes activating a profile selection function via a media recording device and receiving, via the profile selection function, an identifier of a target viewer of media content. The profile selection function provides a list of social network contacts, including the target viewer, via the media recording device. Another aspect includes retrieving contact preferences associated with the identifier. The contact preferences are determined from data about the target viewer that is sourced from one or more compartmentalized entities. The contact preferences identify focal aspects of media content statistically determined to be of interest by the target viewer. A further aspect includes providing suggested focal aspects of a scene subject to media capture. The suggested focal aspects are derived from the contact preferences.

  • Patent number: 10120571
    Abstract: An integrated controller for implementing a quality of service when storing input/output data across an array is provided. The integrated controller receives the input/output data from at least one of a file system and an upper layer application. The input/output data can be associated with a quality of service classification. The integrated controller also splits the input/output data into data chunks and determines whether the quality of service classification indicates a first priority or a second priority for each of the data chunks. Then, if the quality of service classification indicates the first priority, the integrated controller proceeds to place the data chunks across a first partition of a disk of the array.

  • Publication number: 20170286967
    Abstract: An aspect of wearable technology device processes includes receiving, by a wireless receiver of a wearable technology device, a transaction authorization request and a transaction amount from a contactless transaction terminal. An aspect also includes comparing the transaction amount with a current balance associated with an account of an individual corresponding to the wearable technology device. Upon determining the transaction amount causes the current balance to fall below a limit specified by user-defined settings, an aspect includes retrieving a set of a plurality of tired confirmation prompts from a memory of the wearable technology device, and displaying, via an output component of the wearable technology device a first confirmation prompt from the set. The first confirmation prompt is displayed at a first time interval and before completion of the transaction. Each succeeding confirmation prompt provides increased emphasis in its content or presentation.

  • Publication number: 20160140669
    Abstract: Social media network system that provides for a customized recipient lists, where the customized recipient list will depend upon a mode (or “attitude”) that the user entity selects (and changes as desired). In this way, multiple social actions can conveniently be subject to the same customized recipient list, specifically the customized recipient list that was effectively selected by the user entity when selecting his/her attitude. For example, a user may choose an attitude at the beginning of a social media session, so that all social media actions performed by the user entity during that session will only be accessible by other entities on the customized recipient list associated with the user-selected attitude.
