Patent number: 9892402Abstract: A processor server receives transaction information associated with an online transaction between a user device and a merchant server, and provides embedded code to the user device based on receiving the transaction information. The processor server receives, based on execution of the embedded code, location information identifying a geographic location at which the user device is located, and an identifier associated with the user device. The processor server determines an authorization decision for the online transaction based on the transaction information, the location information, and the identifier, and forwards the authorization decision to the merchant server to permit the merchant server to approve or deny the online transaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Manish Sharma, Kevin Flores, Devin Blong, Tushar Chaudhary, Gaurav Gupta

Patent number: 9865266Abstract: Typical speaker verification systems usually employ speakers' audio data collected during an enrollment phase when users enroll with the system and provide respective voice samples. Due to technical, business, or other constraints, the enrollment data may not be large enough or rich enough to encompass different inter-speaker and intra-speaker variations. According to at least one embodiment, a method and apparatus employing classifier adaptation based on field data in a deployed voice-based interactive system comprise: collecting representations of voice characteristics, in association with corresponding speakers, the representations being generated by the deployed voice-based interactive system; updating parameters of the classifier, used in speaker recognition, based on the representations collected; and employing the classifier, with the corresponding parameters updated, in performing speaker recognition.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2013Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Daniele Ernesto Colibro, Claudio Vair, Kevin R.

Patent number: 9836945Abstract: The apparatus disclosed is a wireless vibration sensor monitor and recorder along with the associated system and method of use. The apparatus contains a digital accelerometer that operates off six axes. The apparatus may also include features such as a temperature sensor and ambient light sensor. The system actively monitors time and battery voltage level, as well as records information pertinent to the health of the apparatus. Once affixed to an appliance or piece of machinery, the apparatus monitors the duration of the cycle and the vibrations produced to compile a cycle profile. Once the apparatus has determined the cycle or predetermined period to be complete, a notification is sent to a remote user. This signal may be received by any compatible Bluetooth low energy device.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Inventors: Mark Kramer, Wilfred Tucker, John Sample, Christopher Bermel

Patent number: 9740977Abstract: The present invention is a method and system for automatically recognizing which products a shopper intends to find or purchase based on the shopper's trajectory in a retail aisle. First, the system detects and tracks the person to generate the trajectory of the shopper. Then some of the dynamic features are extracted from the shopper trajectory. The shopper trajectory features of a given trajectory are typically the positions, the motion orientations, and speeds at each point of the trajectory. A shopper behavior model is designed based on some of the primitive actions of shoppers. The last step of the method is to analyze a given shopper trajectory to estimate the shopper's intention. The step either utilizes decision rules based on the extracted shopper trajectory features, or utilizes a trained Hidden Markov Model, to estimate the progression of the primitive actions from the trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: VideoMining CorporationInventors: Hankyu Moon, Rajeev Sharma, Namsoon Jung
