Patent number: 11645596Abstract: State-of-the-art techniques hardly attempt to address controlled resource access problem in context of Basic Emergent Users (BEUs). Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for Proof of Work (POW) based protection of resources. The method includes using the POW for work done by BEUs in physical world and mapping it to digital world to generate crypto currency in terms of credit score, wherein an end user is eligible or authorized to use a resource of an entity to get a desired service if accumulated credit score is above a credit threshold. Gaining points to improve the credit score is challenging as it is based on percentage of compliance achieved by the BEU through actual work in accordance with a compliance protocol. Further, the method includes authenticating the authorized user based on a set of questions with increasing difficulty, derived based on a culture graph.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Pankaj Doke, Karan Bhavsar, Sujit Shinde, Sanjay Kimbahune, Manash Paul, Srinivasu Pappula, Sylvan Lobo, Akhilesh Srivastava

Publication number: 20220292531Abstract: Manually framing questions for research and evaluation has the disadvantage that quality and effectiveness of questions of the questions depend on knowledge and expertise of subject matter expert who is framing the questions. The disclosure herein generally relates to data processing, and, more particularly, to a method and system for generating protocol for data extraction from one or more users. The system identifies sub-objectives corresponding to an identified research objective, and then generates questions to get response that matches the objective and sub-objectives. Further, a sequence is decided for the questions, and accordingly recommendations are generated. The system also assesses whether response obtained from users has reached saturation, and accordingly generates trigger to terminate data collection.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: SYLVAN LOBO, SHIVANI GANWANI, RAVI MAHAMUNI

Publication number: 20210303770Abstract: State of the art viewport design approach faces challenge in addressing customization of view port design. A method and device for dynamic view port generation providing enhanced viewport usability of text messages to be displayed on screen by considering type of user and customized typeface is provided. Determining of a customized typeface is based on user's reading capability tested during initial type face set up by the device. The customization of typeface includes applying kerning spacing and glyphs adjustment to squeeze area of the displayed text, still maintaining less ambiguity during reading. For received messages to be displayed, maximum size of window for a viewport is obtained on-the-fly with a constraint of maximum or optimal number of viewports displayed at a time on device screen. NLP is applied to each message to condense text in the message such that maximum information is conveyed while displaying minimum words.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2020Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Pankaj Doke, Karan Bhavsar, Sujit Shinde, Sanjay Kimbahune, Srinivasu Pappula, Harsh Vishwakarma, Sylvan Lobo, Akhilesh Srivastava

Patent number: 11069253Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to language processing systems, and more particularly to a method and system for language development of a user. In one embodiment, the system generates customized exercise for a user, based on a language model relevant to a language being learnt by the user. The system further collects user response to the customized exercise, and in terms of the user response, determines a current skill level of the user. Further, based on the determined skill level of the user, a skill gap is identified. The system then determines recommendations to improve language skills of the user, and to reduce/eliminate the skill gap.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Mridul Basumotari, Sujit Devkar, Sylvan Lobo, Pankaj Harish Doke, Sachin Sarawgi, Sanjay Madhukar Kimbahune

Patent number: 11062177Abstract: The use of gestures are increasing frequently. Normally these gestures are disconnected with each other. Therefore, various methods have been used for creating the gestural language. The existing methods for creating gestural language is difficult to learn and lacks design aesthetics. A method and system for creating aesthetic design language using a plurality of gestures is provided. The system takes in to account of aesthetics of the generated form of gestures and the user's constraints of movement—degrees of freedom. The system is using a socio-techno system which aids the machine assisted creation of aesthetic language for gestural interactions. A grammar has also been defined for creating the gestural language based on the domain. In the final stage of the system, the grammar and the form symbols are chosen/selected/published to present the interaction language to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Pankaj Doke, Sanjay Kimbahune, Karan Bhavsar, Sujit Shinde, Mithun B S, Sylvan Lobo

Patent number: 10366165Abstract: An apparatus and method for printing steganography is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a wearable unit and a controlling unit that are programmatically controlled by a processor. The controlling unit converts content to be published into a phoneme transcription for a target language, processes the content and further arranges the processed content as per a specified page layout. Further, the phoneme transcribed content is embedded into a QR code that is again extracted by a wearable unit to read the content, the content layout, and reading sequence. The wearable unit also converts the phoneme transcribed content into a voice output. Further, the wearable unit comprises motor sensors to sense a readers' body and neck movements to guide a reader to read content in a correct manner such that voice output is programmatically paused, stopped, repeated at intervals so determined.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Sujit Devkar, Pankaj Harish Doke, Sylvan Lobo

Patent number: 9989376Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating signature ambient sounds and maps thereof to assist in navigation based on a start location, a destination location, start time and average walking speed. The maps are generated by concatenating two or more of the signature ambient sounds and two or more of voice based navigation guidance. The signature ambient sounds for up to all location coordinate pairs in a map, for up to all time ranges and for up to all walking speed ranges are generated and tagged to the corresponding location coordinate pair, the corresponding time range and the corresponding average walking speed. The signature ambient sounds are generated by applying digital signal processing techniques on ambient sounds recorded by client devices, that are filtered and outlier removed.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Sujit Devkar, Sylvan Lobo, Pankaj Harish Doke, Sanjay Madhukar Kimbahune, Mridul Basumotari, Sachin Sarawgi

Patent number: 9871784Abstract: A computer implemented system and method for image based location specific password construction and authentication is provided. The system helps users to recognize the password in terms of objects in an image rather than recalling the alphanumeric passwords. A graph walk generator present in the system guides a user to take unique pictures/images/photographs from user's geographical location which helps the user to recognize password easily in future. The system helps in creating and maintaining a strong password by using pseudorandom image presenter. It also allows a user to aid his photographic memory to get authenticated to the system. Every user generates certain number of images by capturing images in vicinity and select objects from an image to create a password. A user authentication module present in the system then authenticates the user based on sequence of the objects within the captured image to provide one-time image based authentication.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Sujit Devkar, Pankaj Harish Doke, Sylvan Lobo, Ankith Reddy
