  • Patent number: 12445508
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable storage media for processing data streams in accordance with protocols to selectively transmit content to endpoint devices to facilitate conferencing are disclosed. Electronic communications may be received, via one or more networks, from endpoint devices, segregated, and routed to facilitate conferencing environments. Listening for data changes in data streams may be performed, each data stream corresponding to a particular source. Data changes that are generated based on events may be detected and mapped to a particular load identifier and a particular conferencing environment. A conferencing protocol may be identified and mapped to the particular conferencing environment. Consequent to determining that the data changes correspond to the one or more, the particular conferencing environment may be updated.

  • Publication number: 20230377607
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dubbing audio-video media productions. Dubbed audio-video media production are produced by training a learning engine to produce synthesized audio representing speech using audio samples provided by speakers with a variety of vocal characteristics and/or to modify pre-recorded speech. Synthesized audio produced by a trained instance of the learning engine is applied to produce a soundtrack for the audio-video media production in which characters depicted therein have specified speaker vocal characteristics. This may be done by generating, line-by-line, utterances for each respective one of the characters according to a script for the audio-video media production and in a voice reflecting those of the respective vocal characteristics of a one of the speakers corresponding to the respective one of the characters. Playback of the utterances is synchronized with video elements of the audio-video media production, as specified, for example, through a timeline editor of a user interface.

  • Publication number: 20070123755
    Abstract: A healthcare tool allows a patient to record daily parameters associated with the patient's clinical status, for example, body weight for congestive heart failure patients. A graph may be created showing the parameters on a control chart. The parameters are statistically analyzed against a control range, and when a parameter moves out of the control range, the system automatically creates a pop-up window alerting the patient that the parameter is outside the control range, and that the patient should consider informing a healthcare professional.
