  • Patent number: 12761778
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor system and storage accessible to the processor system. The storage includes instructions executable by the processor system to track user inputs as a user interacts with a first graphical user interface (GUI) presented on a display. The instructions are also executable to execute a prediction model to identify a near-repetitive action from the user inputs. Based on the identification of the near-repetitive action, the instructions are executable to present a foreshadow action on the display. The foreshadow action is selectable to command the processor system to autonomously perform a real action corresponding to the foreshadowed action.

  • Publication number: 20260277696
    Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor system and storage accessible to the processor system. The storage includes instructions executable by the processor system to determine one or more first capabilities of a first model executable on a first device connected to a network, and to determine one or more second capabilities of a second model executable on a second device connected to the network. The instructions are also executable to, based on the determinations, assign a first task to the first model to address a query and assign a second task to the second model to address the query. The instructions are then executable to coordinate the first and second tasks to respond to the query. In some examples, the instructions may also be executable to deconstruct the query into the first and second tasks to then assign the tasks based on both the determinations and the deconstruction.

  • Publication number: 20260278109
    Abstract: In one aspect, large language models (LLMs) are used to evaluate static application security testing (SAST) results from a SAST tool that is run on software under test. A software vulnerability report is then generated based on one or more outputs from the LLM(s), with the outputs indicating levels of confidence in the respective SAST results being actual positives. In this way, false positives from the SAST results can be eliminated or deprioritized, providing technological improvements in pre-deployment software testing and validation.

  • Patent number: 12677059
    Abstract: A camera device and method are described that perform object detection on sensor data generated by an image sensor to detect an input device within an environment outside of the camera device. The camera device and method analyze the sensor data to detect a hand of a user within the environment, and determine an impending use of the input device by the user based on a proximity of the hand to the input device and/or movement of the hand. Responsive to determining the impending use, the camera device and method generate an image data stream that includes altered image content within an area of interest that encompasses in the input device. The altered image content is not an accurate representation of the hand manipulating the input device in the environment, thereby precluding capture of manual data entry in the image data stream.
