  • Publication number: 20200241638
    Abstract: First media content including text is presented on a display. User expressions of a user, including eye movement, are tracked by an image detector while the user is reading the text of the first media content. User expression data is generated based on the user expressions of the user. A determination can be made as to whether the user expression data indicates that the user gazes at a portion of the text presented on the display for a period exceeding a threshold value. Responsive to determining that the user expression data indicates that the user gazes at a portion of the text presented on the display for a period exceeding a threshold value, one or more actions can be automatically initiated. For example, additional media content that provides further explanation of the media content can be presented.

  • Patent number: 9569445
    Abstract: In an approach for creating an asset, a computer receives a selection of at least one asset element and determines whether one or more asset elements are associated with the selected asset element. In response to determining one or more asset elements are associated with the selected asset element, the computer determines, based, at least in part, on one or more linkage rules, whether one or more of the associated asset elements are in the asset. Furthermore, in response to determining that at least one of the associated asset elements is in the asset, the computer generates an asset map. The asset map, generated by the computer for the asset, depicts the linkage rules, the selected asset elements, and the associated asset elements in the asset.

  • Publication number: 20160150073
    Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to electronic communications and, more particularly, to the exchange of information over a telephonic communication channel. For example, during a telephone call session established over a telephonic communication channel between a user communicating using a first communication device and a customer service system, a content recognition system can receive media content or a digital signature, transmitted by the first communication device during the telephone call session. The media content or digital signature can be communicated over the telephonic communication channel used to support audio communication between the first communication device and the customer service system in the telephone call session. The digital signature can be processed to authenticate an identity of the user.
