  • Patent number: 12289653
    Abstract: One or more processors to add identification information of a device to an initialized augmented device retrieval assistance (ADRA) data structure. Received data from ADRA clients monitoring the device within a location includes a network connection status and a time-based position of the device. The ADRA clients dynamically update the ADRA data structure with the location, a current position of the device, and a timeframe of the data from the monitoring by the ADRA clients. A request for ADR assistance is received that includes an identification of a target device, the timeframe, and a location. Location images are generated that include a location layout or floor plan. A time-spatial axis is rendered and sent to an ADRA client and includes location images and target device position within the respective images associated with a specific timeframe on the time-spatial axis.

  • Publication number: 20250124409
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to consolidate event data structures in an electronic calendar. An event data structure for an event is received and features are extracted from the event data structure and another having an overlapping temporal location in the electronic calendar. The event data structure is classified as to whether it is duplicative of the other event data structure and the event data structures are rendered based on the classification. This rendering may involve consolidating the event data structures into a consolidated event data structure if they are duplicative, and prioritizing the event data structures relative to each other if they are not duplicative.

  • Patent number: 12278999
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, in accordance with one embodiment, includes detecting cultural context and accents of speakers portrayed in a video stream and/or an audience of the video stream. Accent tags are selected for the speakers according to the cultural context and accents of the speakers and/or the audience of the video stream. A textual representation of spoken words of the speakers is translated from a source language to a target language. The accent tags are applied to the textual representation of the spoken words in the target language according to the speakers corresponding to the textual representation of the spoken words in the target language. Speech lip movements of the speakers portrayed in the video stream are modified to match the target language and the locale accent tags. A translated video stream having the speakers appearing to speak in the target language with the modified lip movements is output.

  • Publication number: 20250095032
    Abstract: Dynamic vehicle assessment is provided. A baseline value of a vehicle is determined based on current market values of a set of vehicles similar to the vehicle with regard to similar year, make, model, and mileage. A percentage of deviation from the baseline value of the vehicle is determined based on a cost to repair a set of given parts of the vehicle predicted to fail within a defined time period. A real time actual market value of the vehicle is determined based on the percentage of deviation from the baseline value of the vehicle according to the cost to repair the set of given parts of the vehicle predicted to fail within the defined time period. The real time actual market value of the vehicle is sent to a requester via a network in response to receiving a request for an assessment of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250077740
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for simulating operating systems. The mechanisms train, for each operating system, a corresponding artificial intelligence (AI) computer model that learns, by way of machine learning training, patterns of input features of inputs to the operating system and corresponding responses from the operating system. A request to simulate a requested operating system is received along with a simulation input whose processing by the requested operating system is to be simulated. An AI computer model corresponding to the requested operating system is executed on the simulation input to simulate processing the simulation input to generate a simulated response. The simulated response is returned as a simulated output of the requested operating system responsive to the input.

  • Publication number: 20250073998
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: sending one or more instructions to apply an initial influencing factor to smart materials of a 4D object. Moreover, the 4D object is configured to deliver one or more microparticles from a start location to a target location along a delivery path in response to the initial influencing factor being applied to the smart materials. One or more instructions to monitor movement of the 4D object along the delivery path in response to applying the initial influencing factor to the smart materials are also sent. In response to determining the 4D object has deviated from the delivery path, one or more instructions to use one or more machine learning models to dynamically weight the initial influencing factor applied to the smart materials are further sent.

  • Publication number: 20250080696
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing participant input in a virtual meeting to determine effects to render in the virtual meeting. A natural language processor (NLP) processes a sentence to determine a structural representation of the sentence comprising a subject and object, which is processed to determine whether the object of the sentence comprises an object of recognition and the subject of the sentence is a participant in the virtual meeting. The structural representation of the sentence is processed to determine an attention level in response to determining that the structural representation of the sentence includes the object of recognition and the subject comprises a participant in the virtual meeting. In response to the attention level exceeding a threshold, a recognition attention effect is rendered in the virtual meeting associated with the attention level, observable by the participants of the virtual meeting.
