Patent number: 11222473Abstract: Embodiments provide methods and systems for regulating the use of virtual reality environments provided to residents of controlled-environment facilities. In response to a request for virtual reality programs from an inmate, the privilege status of the inmate is used to determine the available virtual environments in which the inmate may participate. The participation of the inmate within a virtual reality session may be restricted based on the privilege status of the inmate. Any limitations on an inmate's participation within an approved virtual environment may be enforced by restricting the behavior of an avatar representing the inmate within the virtual environment. The privilege status of inmates may be used to enforce restrictions that prohibit contact between certain inmates or certain classifications of inmates. The participation of inmates may be restricted and terminated based on a measured physiological responses to the inmate's participation in a virtual environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Securus Technologies, LLCInventors: Alice J. Clements, Scott Passe, Luke Keiser

Patent number: 11216785Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for implementing an electronic learning (eLearrning) system. In some implementations, an indication of a user selection by a first user of electronic learning content of an electronic learning (eLearning) system is processed, where the electronic learning content includes a learning module. Learning module is initiated or resumed. The progress of the first user in relation to completion of the learning module is tracked. An unanswered question that pertains to the learning module and that has been submitted by a second user is identified based, at least in part, on the progress of the first user in relation to the completion of the learning module. The unanswered question is then provided via a web page of the learning module for presentation via a client device of the first user.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Emily Hudson, Chris Fox, Qingqing Liu, Asha Camper Singh, Dan Chen, Matthew Rigdon, Nicholas Stuart, Jiahan Ericsson, Joyce Yeh, Samantha Ready, Adam Torman

Patent number: 11170319Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device scans a plurality of available data sources associated with a profiled identity for an individual, and categorizes instances of the data sources according to recognized terms within the data sources. Once determining whether the profiled identity contributed positively to each categorized instance, categorized instances that have a positive contribution by the profiled identity may be clustered into clusters. The computing device may then rank the clusters based on size of the clusters and frequency of recognized terms within the clusters, and can then infer an expertise of the profiled identity based on one or more best-ranked clusters. The inferred expertise of the profiled identity may then be stored.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Sujit Biswas, Milind Naphade, Manjula Shivanna, Gyana Ranjan Dash, Srinivas Ruddaraju, Carlos M.
