  • Patent number: 11196685
    Abstract: A computing device executing a chatbot application stores primary classification data in a memory; the primary classification data includes records each containing a primary class attribute and corresponding primary response data. The device obtains and stores, from a central repository, a copy of secondary classification data including records each containing a secondary class attribute and corresponding secondary response data. The device receives a message from a client device, and determines whether the message matches any of the primary class attributes. When the message does not match any of the primary class attributes, the device determines whether the message matches any of the secondary class attributes. Based on a match between the message and one of the secondary class attributes, the device selects secondary response data corresponding to the one of the secondary class attributes; and transmits a response to the client device, including the selected secondary response data.

  • Publication number: 20210006404
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a server that stores a set of media files. The server is configured to send an authentication code to a first communication device in response to a request from the first communication device to access the set of media files such that the first communication device can present the authentication code to a user. The server is configured to associate an identifier of a second communication device with the first communication device such that a user of the second communication device can authorize access to the set of media files from the first communication device by sending the authentication code to the server using the second communication device.
