  • Patent number: 10977621
    Abstract: A method for implementing an action-based to-do list includes monitoring user actions with a personal management device which is configured to compare the user actions to a task definition file. A processor of the personal management device determines if the user actions fulfill one or more predefined conditions, within the task definition file. If a condition is fulfilled, the processor of the personal management device modifies the to-do list based on the fulfilled condition. A personal management device for implementing an action-based to-do list includes a user interface configured to allow a user to interact with a to-do list application and a processor configured to execute the to-do list application.

  • Patent number: 10902201
    Abstract: Techniques are described relating to dynamic document portion configuration via machine learning. An associated method includes facilitating parsing of a document to identify a plurality of document portions based upon contextual evaluation. The method further includes mining data associated with a client to determine at least one client objective associated with the document and applying at least one artificial intelligence technique of a machine learning knowledge model to the mined data in order to assign a confidence score to each of the plurality of document portions that indicates relevance of the document portion to the at least one client objective. The method further includes identifying a set of document portions among the plurality of document portions having respective confidence scores that exceed a predefined confidence score threshold, and, responsive to the client accessing the document via a user interface of a computing system, configuring the set of document portions.
