  • Patent number: 11956200
    Abstract: A system and method for improving the download time of emails in an environment in which a server distributes emails to persons working in close proximity to each other. When these persons receive multi-recipient emails intended for several or all of these persons, the server distributing the emails delivers the multi-recipient emails to the first one of the persons who logged on to read his or her emails on his or her personal computer, for distribution to the other persons over a personal area network. This reduces the download time for the persons downloading their emails at a subsequent time.

  • Patent number: 11810042
    Abstract: A customer service system that includes a customer device associated with a customer, an agent device associated with an agent, and a monitoring system. The monitoring system includes a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the monitoring system to monitor a conversation between the customer device and the agent device to identify a context of the conversation. Moreover, the instructions cause the monitoring system to identify a disclosure notice based at least part on the context of the conversation, in which the disclosure notice comprises an indication of a disclosure to be read in light of the context of the conversation.

  • Patent number: 11778098
    Abstract: Machine learning technology can analyze in real-time the data from a call between a person and a customer service representative. Based on this analysis, a server can determine a sentiment score that describes a sentiment expressed by the person or the customer service representative. If the server determines that the sentiment score is less than or equal to a pre-determined value, the server can inform the customer service representative's manager so that the manager can take further action to help the person and/or the customer service representative.

  • Patent number: 11682289
    Abstract: An electronic device receives operational data indicative of an operational characteristic of a vehicle from a sensor of the electronic device, a sensor of the vehicle, and/or images/videos captured by a camera. The electronic device determines that the vehicle has had a potential incident and a likelihood that the potential incident has actually occurred based on analysis of the operational data. The electronic device also receives risk management data associated with the vehicle from a database, and determines a severity level for the potential incident based on the operational data and the risk management data. The electronic device then sends a notification indicative of the potential incident based on the likelihood that the potential incident has actually occurred and the severity level for the potential incident to a third-party remote system (e.g., of a towing service, an emergency service, or both) to request assistance.

  • Patent number: 11487025
    Abstract: A method of inferring the GPS location of a device with a GPS receiver is disclosed. The method includes using signals from two GPS satellites to determine two candidate GPS locations. Geographic information can be used to estimate the probability that the device is at each location. If one of the two candidate GPS locations has a substantially higher probability of being the correct location, that location may be selected as the inferred GPS location. The method may also include making use of additional sensed data that could be provided using sensors onboard the device.

  • Patent number: 11470685
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing wireless traffic among a plurality of IoT devices and an access point is disclosed. The method and system may establish communication among a plurality of Internet of Things (IOT) devices and establish a set of similar IoT devices from among the plurality of IoT devices. One of the similar IoT devices may be designated as a managing IoT device and the remaining IoT devices in set of similar IoT devices may be designated as controlled IoT devices. Wireless traffic from the access point may be transmitted through the managing IoT device to controlled IoT devices. Wireless traffic from the controlled IoT devices may be transmitted to the access point through the managing IoT device. Thus, wireless traffic between the access point and controlled IoT devices is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11463522
    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently transmitting signals from a sensing device to a remote device are disclosed. The sensing device includes at least one sensor for sensing information. The sensed information could be associated with heart activity. The sensing device smooths the sensed signal and then calculates the difference between the smoothed sensed signal and a locally stored baseline signal to determine a differential signal, which can be transmitted as a smaller packet of data than the full sensed signal. The remote device receives information associated with the differential signal and uses a local copy of the baseline signal to reconstruct the original smoothed sensed signal.
