Patent number: 11716364Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product reduce bandwidth requirements of a virtual collaboration session. The method includes capturing session data from a virtual collaboration session. The session data is selected from a group consisting of video data, audio data, an image of a screen of a connected device and text data. The method also includes connecting to a live blog platform. The method further includes transmitting a text transcription of the virtual collaboration session to the live blog platform. The text transcription is generated by scanning the audio data using a speech-to-text algorithm. In addition, the method includes classifying a topic in the virtual collaboration session based on importance. Lastly, the method includes transmitting a multimedia file related to the topic to the live blog platform in response to the topic being classified as important. The multimedia file is extracted from the session data.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Toby Kurien, Richard Allen Young

Patent number: 11556787Abstract: A signal representing a sound can be received. A machine learning model can be run to identify that the sound triggers a reaction in a user hearing the sound. A preventive action can be automatically activated to mitigate the reaction. The user's reactions can be monitored. Responsive to determining that the user's reaction has been mitigated or suppressed, the preventive action can be deactivated. The machine learning model can be retrained using at least the signal as new training data.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Naweed Aghmad Khan, Toby Kurien, Michael S.

Patent number: 11496802Abstract: A media stream is delivered to a searcher by identifying a desirable emotional state for the searcher; identifying a current emotional state of the searcher; and estimating a target emotional trajectory that begins with the current emotional state and concludes with the desirable emotional state. Then the target emotional trajectory is matched to an aggregate emotional trajectory of the media stream; the media stream is recommended to the searcher in response to the matching; and a bit stream of the media stream is rendered to the searcher in response to the searcher's acceptance of the recommendation.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ashley D.

Patent number: 11271752Abstract: One or more application forms can be hosted, which application forms are received from a service provider, the service provider having been authenticated by at least one data custodian of a set of data custodians. One or more application forms include at least form fields to be populated with information. A user selection of an application form to be automatically populated can be received, the user having been authenticated by at least one data custodian of the set of data custodians. Data request is sent to at least one data custodian of the set of data custodians for automatically populating at least some of the form fields. Received data from said at least one data custodian can be collated and used to populate one or more form fields.

Patent number: 11238708Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for determining engagement levels of an audience and providing associated recommendations to a presenter. The method includes one or more processors receiving sensor data from sensors located in an audience area during a presentation. The method further includes one or more processors determining an engagement level for a first individual in the audience area utilizing sensor data from sensors associated with the first individual. The method further includes one or more processors determining whether the determined engagement level for the first individual indicates that the first individual is not engaged with the presentation. In response to determining that the determined engagement level of the first individual indicates that the first individual is not engaged with the presentation, the method further includes one or more processors determining recommendations to increase engagement of the first individual.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Toby Kurien, Richard Allen Young, Komminist Weldemariam
