Patent number: 11553055Abstract: A system that creates and automatically builds one or more entity models that are derived from communication-based information received over a network. Building the entity models uses machine learning, a user interface, a sentiment analyzer, a communication monitoring agent and an automated bot. Bots are created based on a bot template. New communication-based information is analyzed and processed to improve the entity model, to keep the bot up-to-date, and to update other services and products that the entity relies on. The system enables a business to cluster other entities together to assist in identifying competitors. The system provides analytical information about how users journey through an entity model. The system automatically maintains listings such as frequently asked questions. The system works in a networked environment, which may be a distributed network.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2021Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: NumberAI, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Hodges, Tasos Roumeliotis, Joel Grossman, Andrew Ruff, Steven Ginn, Andrew Smith

Patent number: 10993187Abstract: A computer implemented method is provided including establishing a value corresponding to a particular user of a device, receiving an indication of a triggering condition of the particular user of the device, the triggering condition being enabled by the device or measurable by the device, and determining the triggering condition has been met by the user via the device. The method further includes modifying the value responsive to determining the triggering condition has been met, determining when the value crosses a particular threshold, and disabling an application or a functional component of the device responsive to the value crossing the particular threshold. A system for implementing the method is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Location Labs, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Hodges, Tasos Roumeliotis, Scott Hotes

Patent number: 10750006Abstract: A system and method for implementing controls corresponding to a particular mobile device. The method includes receiving from a first party corresponding to the particular mobile device a designation of a second party and receiving control instructions from the second party. A particular geographic area and/or a particular time frame is associated with the second party. A processor alternately delegates one or more device controls of the particular mobile device from the first party to the second party based on a current location of the particular mobile device relative to the particular geographic area and/or a current time relative to the particular time frame. The control instructions received from the second party are applied when the one or more device controls are delegated to the second party.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Location Labs, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Weiss, Tasos Roumeliotis, Sourya Roy

Patent number: 10560324Abstract: A system and method for controlling device use is provided. A computing system stores a first state corresponding to a status of one or more functional components of a user device. A user device stores a second state corresponding to the first state and corresponding to the status of the one or more functional components of the user device. An instruction to modify the status of the one or more functional components of the user device is received, and the computing system modifies the first state and the status of the one or more functional components at a network level responsive to the instruction. The user device modifies the second state and the status of the one or more functional components at a device level responsive to the instruction.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2014Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Location Labs, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Weiss, Scott Hotes, Joseph Anakata, Eric Schuchman, Mitchell Scott Ozer, Ariel Haney, Tasos Roumeliotis

Patent number: 10326877Abstract: A processor-implemented system for supporting use of a reduced driving distraction program on a mobile device is disclosed. The system detects whether the mobile device is in a moving vehicle. If so, a driving mode is set in which driving is determined to be protected driving if the reduced distraction program is being followed and unprotected if the reduced distraction program is not being followed. The system then tracks unprotected driving and protected driving and aggregates the unprotected driving and protected driving. A party is then notified regarding the aggregation of unprotected driving and protected driving. Other drivers can be asked to join the reduced driving distraction program and awards can be given to drivers for meeting pre-determined milestones of protected driving. Either the mobile device or a remote computer may aggregate driving and send notifications.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Location Labs, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Hodges, Tasos Roumeliotis
