  • Patent number: 12231381
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12182203
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12175387
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11968159
    Abstract: In an example, a starting argument post may be received, via a first debate interface, from a first client device associated with a first user account of a debate system. A first response post may be received, via a second debate interface, from a second client device associated with a second user account of the debate system. The first response post corresponds to a response to the starting argument post. The starting argument post and the first response post are included in a first debate thread. When a first submission status of the first user account is active, submission of a response post for inclusion in the first debate thread may be enabled via the first debate interface. A second response post may be received, via the first debate interface and when the first submission status of the first user account is active, from the first client device.

  • Patent number: 11954237
    Abstract: A user device may invoke, for a user associated with an unavailable user device, a guest mode, and may connect the user device with a network device based on invoking the guest mode. The user device may provide credentials of the user and a secure input of the user to the network device based on invoking the guest mode, and may receive an identity service and an emergency service for the user when the secure input is authenticated by the network device. The user device may associate, via the identity service, the user with the user device to enable the user to utilize the emergency service, and may provide, via the emergency service, one or more emergency notifications. The user device may receive an indication of the user exiting the guest mode, and may remove the credentials of the user from a memory based on the indication.

  • Patent number: 11422834
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for implementing automated barriers and delays for communication are provided. Content generated by a user may be evaluated to classify the content before the content has been submitted for access by other users. A user interface is generated and populated with an activity for the user to perform based upon a classification of the content. The user may be restricted from submitting the content until successful performance of the activity. Upon determining that the user successfully performed the activity, the user may be provided with an option to submit the content. Otherwise, the user may be blocked from submitting the content.

  • Patent number: 11184575
    Abstract: 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.
