Patent number: 12231381Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for initiating communication between users of a user group based on machine learning techniques. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework for automating communication scheduling and communication initiation based on user communication objectives and machine learning techniques. The disclosed framework operates by leveraging available user provided communication parameters, user provided objectives, and various real-time data associated with the users, and using the aforementioned data as inputs for machine learning models, in order to schedule communication between the users, automatically initiate communication between the users, or transmit communication notifications to the users.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2023Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Eric Bax, Kimberly Williams, John Donald, Lisa Giaffo, Tanisha Sharma, Nikki Thompson, Melissa Gerber

Patent number: 12182203Abstract: The present teaching relates to communication related to predictions. A communication chain is created with multiple chain units, each operating independently to provide prediction services related to a prompt with embedded information therein associated with predictions for the prompt to enable prediction services. A request is received for a requested operation related to a query prompt on one of prediction solicitation, prediction entry, verification entry, and prediction access. If a chain unit for the query prompt, the request is directed to the chain unit to perform the requested operation. If not, a new chain unit is created for the query prompt and the request is forwarded to the new chain unit to carry out the requested operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: YAHOO ASSETS LLCInventors: Eric Bax, Charlotte Bax, Lisa Giaffo, Melissa Gerber, Tanisha Sharma, Nikki Thompson, Kimberley Williams, Will Wagner

Patent number: 12175387Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for content item selection for goal achievement are provided herein. A goal of a user is identified. A model is utilized to evaluate the goal, user information, and a set of content items to generate predictions for the content items of how likely each content item will be a causation factor of the user making progress towards the goal in response to the user being provided with each content item. A target content item is selected from the set of content items based upon the target content item having a predicted likelihood of being the causation factor above a threshold. The target content item is provided through a registered media channel accessible through a device of the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Yahoo Assets LLCInventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Kimberly Williams, Lisa Giaffo, Nikki Mia Williams, John Donald, Melissa Susan Gerber, Tanisha Sharma

Patent number: 11184575Abstract: One or more devices, systems, and/or methods for presenting real-time videos of views that are obstructed are provided. For example, a first video may be received from a first camera. The first video comprises a real-time representation of a view opposing a first side of an obstruction. The first video is processed using a set of video parameters to generate a second video. The second video is transmitted to a display device. The second video is displayed on a display area positioned on a second side of the obstruction. A third video, comprising a real-time representation of the display area, is received. The set of video parameters are modified to generate a modified set of video parameters, based upon a comparison of the third video with the first video. The first video is processed using the modified set of parameters to generate an updated instance of the second video.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Eric Theodore Bax, Kimberly Williams, Lisa Giaffo, John Donald, Tanisha Sharma
