Patent number: 11816942Abstract: An intention detection mechanism detects a target user accessing an operational context and accesses sensor data collected by a plurality of sensors encoding signals describing one or more characteristics of the target user and surroundings of the target user. The intention detection mechanism converts the accessed sensor data into a multi-channel sensor data time series, where each channel represents a characteristic of the target user. The intention detection mechanism compares the sensor data time series to a multi-channel intentionality template to determine whether the sensor data time series contains the multi-channel intentionality template. The multi-channel intentionality template describes characteristics indicative of an intent of a target user accessing the operational context. If the sensor data time series contains the multi-channel intentionality template, the intention detection mechanism communicates a signal confirming that the target user intended to access to the operational context.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: TruU, Inc.Inventors: David Brett Pasirstein, Jonathan Welch, Andrew Weber Spott, Lucas Allen Budman, Amitabh Agrawal, Niles William Hacking

Patent number: 11593282Abstract: A dual memory Secure Digital (SD) card is provided which allows for remote data updates without disruption to a currently executing program, as well as a system and method that utilize the dual memory SD card. The dual memory SD card may include a primary memory, an independent secondary memory, and a microcontroller or Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that can load either memory upon boot up of a host computer. The dual memory SD card may also include a wireless interface, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, in addition to a standard SD pin interface. An automated data synchronization system is provided which allows a new version of data to be uploaded onto the secondary memory of the dual memory SD card while an existing data version is running on that same dual memory SD card and swapped into operation upon the next reboot of a host device.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Inventor: Francesco E DeAngelis

Patent number: 11580429Abstract: A neural network system is proposed, including an input network for extracting, from state data, respective entity data for each a plurality of entities which are present, or at least potentially present, in the environment. The entity data describes the entity. The neural network contains a relational network for parsing this data, which includes one or more attention blocks which may be stacked to perform successive actions on the entity data. The attention blocks each include a respective transform network for each of the entities. The transform network for each entity is able to transform data which the transform network receives for the entity into modified entity data for the entity, based on data for a plurality of the other entities. An output network is arranged to receive data output by the relational network, and use the received data to select a respective action.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: DeepMind Technologies LimitedInventors: Yujia Li, Victor Constant Bapst, Vinicius Zambaldi, David Nunes Raposo, Adam Anthony Santoro

Patent number: 11562380Abstract: A method is disclosed for enabling a network location to provide an ordering process for data relevant to connected network devices' activities. The method includes assembling the data, utilizing the activity data, and associating the data, such that information is derived to enable a desired expansion of at least one designated activity. Another method is disclosed for managing an object assignment broadcast operations for a network location based on a network device's previous activities. This second method includes tracing a network device's conduct to determine that a network device prefers a particular class of content. The method also includes tagging a network device's profile with the respective observation and deciding by a network location as to the classification factor for a network device to be targeted for an object assignment broadcast.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: LIVEPERSON, INC.Inventors: Haggai Shachar, Shahar Nechmad

Patent number: 11544593Abstract: Provided are techniques for data analysis and rule generation for providing a recommendation. Current features are identified from data in a corpus. In response to receiving an indication that the data has changed, a new feature is identified. A feature set is created by identifying one or more related features of the current features. A feature worthiness score for the feature set is generated. In response to the feature worthiness score exceeding a threshold, the feature set is input to a model. One or more rules from the model are received, where each of the one or more rules includes the one or more related features, the new feature, and a recommendation. In response to receiving a set of values for the one or more related features and the new feature, a rule of the one or more rules is applied to provide the recommendation for that set of values.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Neha, Manjula Golla Hosurmath, Rahul Reddy Ravipally
