  • Patent number: 11039009
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating real-time communication with a caller without a user accepting a call, wherein the system or method: receives a notification of the call; obtains information about the user and the caller from one or more data sources; determines the user's temporal status at a given point in time and the caller's identity based on the information; generates a context-specific message based on the user's temporal status and the caller's identity, wherein the message summarizes the user's temporal status; and provides the message to the caller. Alternatively, the message is a generic message, when the caller's identity cannot be determined.

  • Patent number: 10937312
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to transportation vehicle traffic management. A traffic controller detects a first traffic state parameter value for a first lane. In response to detecting the first traffic state parameter value, the traffic controller establishes a first broadcast of a first movement value (e.g., speed, acceleration, direction). The first movement value may indicate a first movement pattern for a first set of vehicles in the first lane. In response to establishing the first broadcast of the first movement value, the traffic controller detects a second traffic state parameter value for the first lane. In response to detecting the second traffic state parameter value the traffic controller modifies the first broadcast of the first movement value. The modified first movement value may indicate a second movement pattern for the first set of vehicles in the first lane.
