Patent number: 11574553Abstract: A system including sensors configured to provide physiological markers of a developer and a controller configured provide information indicative of a user experience to the developer while receive signals from the sensors. The controller is configured to utilize cognitive analysis determine developer emotion responses as the developer receives the user experience. The controller compares a developer emotion classification with a user emotion classification of a user as the user generated the user experience. The system generates a prioritized backlog to identify points where emotion responses between user and developer are in common, or where emotion responses between user and developer differ.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stan Kevin Daley, Michael Bender, Siddhartha Sood, Shawn D.

Patent number: 11270338Abstract: An approach is provided for optimizing a digital display. Classifications of advertisements are determined. A location of a future action in an event is predicted. A sentiment of an audience is determined. The audience includes spectators at the venue, viewers who are viewing the event via devices receiving a live broadcast of the event, or a combination of the spectators and the viewers. Based on the location of the future action, a digital display is selected from digital displays in the venue and content on the digital display is predicted to be captured as an image by a camera and broadcast to devices of the viewers. Based on the classifications, the sentiment, the location of the future action, and the content being predicted to be captured and broadcast, an advertisement is selected. The selected advertisement is sent to the selected digital display.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James Ward, Michael Bender, Sarbajit K.

Patent number: 11240369Abstract: An approach is disclosed that optically transmit data from a dedicated mobile device (DMD) to another device. Optically transmitting the data is performed by displaying the data on a display screen included in the DMD. The approach further optically receives data at the DMD. The data is received at a digital camera included in the DMD. Based on the exchanged data, the DMD determines if the DMD and the other device are bound to each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shawn D.

Patent number: 11206140Abstract: An approach is disclosed that places a first side of an optical communication mounting frame (OCMF) onto a surface of a device with some of the device's display and its digital camera being are hidden from view from outside of the OCMF. A second device is received at another side of the OCMF, with some of the device's display and its digital camera being are hidden from view from outside of the OCMF. Each display is viewable from the other device's digital camera. Optical communications between the devices is performed by displaying data on one display that is read by the other device's digital camera and this communication is allowed while the OCMF is present. However, communication between the devices is inhibited when the OCMF is not present.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shawn D.
