Abstract: Mechanisms for implementing a billing process between a first Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN1) and a second Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN2) for a subscriber of the PLMN1 that visits the PLMN2. A method comprises establishing a smart contract between the PLMN1, the PLMN2, and a Data Clearance House (DCH). The method comprises sending a subscriber usage record, represented by a distributed ledger, of the subscriber from the PLMN2 to the DCH using a blockchain upon the subscriber having visited the PLMN2, wherein the blockchain is based on the smart contract. The method comprises sending the subscriber usage record from the DCH to the PLMN1 using the blockchain.

Abstract: A device includes a display and one or more processors that cause a speaker associated with the device to serially recite a plurality of auditory cues. Each of the plurality of auditory cues corresponds to one of a set of characters, and each recitation of the plurality of auditory cues occurs at a predetermined time period. The one or more processors also receive a touch input on the display from a user during the recitation of the plurality of auditory cues, determine a character from the set of characters that corresponds to the touch input based on the predetermined time period, and store the character as a value in a sequence of user-specific information.

Abstract: An advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) that performs accident prediction by taking into account at least the following types of data: (i) current information about vehicles in proximity of a first vehicle; (ii) data about the direction of travel of vehicles in the proximity of the first vehicle; (iii) historical data about erratic driving that has previously occurred in proximity of the first vehicle; and (iv) historical data about vehicular accidents that have previously occurred in proximity of the first vehicle.

Abstract: A computer system provides performs defect tracking and remediation. Video data is received, from a client computing device, corresponding to a recording of a graphical user interface of an application of the client computing device, wherein the video data is obtained in response to the application encountering an error. Feedback is obtained from a user of the client computing device by engaging the user via a natural language processing model. The video data and the feedback are analyzed to determine one or more operations to reproduce the error. One or more corrective actions, based on the determined one or more operations, are provided to remediate the error in the application. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for performing defect tracking and remediation in substantially the same manner described above.
