Abstract: Computerized systems for providing a personalized computing experience are provided through enriched calendar event data. The enriched calendar event data provides an event type, additional location data for the calendar event, and the likely user attendance. To determine the enriched calendar event data, a user location pattern, and a calendar event pattern are determined. As future calendar events are detected, a set of features for the future calendar events is determined. Past calendar events having features similar to the detected future calendar event can then be determined. A user location for the similar past calendar events can be determined to form a user behavior pattern model indicating a user location for the similar past calendar events. A predicted user location for the future calendar event can be determined based upon the similar past calendar events and the user behavior pattern model.

Abstract: A transformation platform allows a common data model to provide query output to multiple types of output devices, and incorporate query responses received using multiple types of constrained user input devices, such as neural headsets, that may be used by disabled individuals. Data and software applications can employ input and output modes of a client computer device without the data or application having to be specifically formatted or programmed for the different input and output modes. The data can specify queries that include response fields having response options that are selectively, such as progressively, highlighted. A user can provide input to select a highlighted response option. For a query having multiple response fields, response options for each response field can be progressively displayed after user input is received for a current set of response options. The query responses can be stored in the data model in association with field identifiers.

Abstract: Attention-based scheduling is provided. Most people's energy levels and cognitive functioning fluctuate throughout the day. Typically, the time of day when a person feels more energetic or has a higher attention span is the time in the person's day when the individual has the highest productivity potential. While at off-peak times, a person may have less attention, which can make it harder for the individual to be effective. An attention-based schedule system identifies a user's high and off-peak times based on one or more attention-based factors. When a meeting or appointment is scheduled and an attention-based scheduling conflict is determined, the user or another scheduler of the calendar item is notified, and in some examples, alternate time suggestions are provided. In some examples, off-peak times are blocked off from the user's calendar.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are described for responding to inoperative commands on a server device. In some embodiments, the disclosed technology facilitates pausing of content being played on a device without creating a bookmark of the location in the content at which the content was paused. In response to receiving the request to pause the content from playing, the server device generates a pause instruction to pause the content from playing. Upon expiry of a timeout interval, the server device automatically transforms the pause instruction into a stop instruction, which when executed causes stopping the content from playing. In some embodiments, the server device detects an user interaction event, prior to expiry of the timeout interval. Non-limiting examples of the user interaction may be shutting down the server device, switching from the content to a live broadcast program, switching from the content to another content, or exiting from the content.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for a conference call moderator to conduct a conference call between a plurality of participants. At least some of the conference call participants are grouped by location. A participant within each group is identified to act as a domestic focus for that group and is notified of its assigned role. For each group, the conference call moderator disconnects from all participants in the group except for the participant that has been assigned the role of domestic focus. For each group, the conference call is then routed through the assigned domestic focus. Such a grouping may, for example, occur as a result of a degradation in call quality or may be based on the number of call participants. This solution preferably off-loads some of the conference call processing to the domestic focus, thereby alleviating the workload faced by the overall conference call moderator.
