Smart Alarm Updates Based On Updates To Calendar, Alex Chen

Defensive Publications Series

Alarm features provided via a smartphone or other device enable a user to set a wake-up time of their choice. However, when a user’s calendar is updated overnight, the alarm time may cause the user to miss a newly added event or wake up early unnecessarily even when an early event has been canceled. This disclosure describes techniques, implemented with user permission, to automatically adjust the time of the wake-up alarm based on changes in the user’s calendar. The user’s calendar is examined periodically to determine if adjustments to the alarm wake-up time are necessary and make such adjustments automatically. …

Continual Learning System With Sentence Embeddings, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Recent improvements in computing power and ambient technologies have opened up new perspectives in ambient intelligence and proactive software systems. The need emerges for an ambient and supportive system that deeply understands the user's needs and preferences under the current context. In this work, we propose a recommendation system that aggregates and understands the current situation and continuously learns from the user’s decision history. To leverage a rich pool of contextual data, the system dynamically changes the strategy and scope for contextualization and encodes multimodal data into unified embeddings. A contextual similarity database consisting of these embeddings is leveraged for …

Automatically Displaying Payment Qr Code Upon Detection Of Transaction Intent, Ramprasad Sedouram, Ajay Prasad, Gajen Agrawal

Defensive Publications Series

Quick response (QR) code based payment transactions are popular. A common way to initiate receipt of payment is for a merchant to display their QR code on a screen of a payment device, e.g., a point of sale (PoS) system, a smartphone, or other device. However, certain merchants, e.g., push-cart vendors, food trucks, etc., may not have a dedicated PoS system, and instead, rely on a personal smartphone to receive QR-code initiated payments. To receive payments, the owner needs to manually operate the smartphone to display their QR code. This disclosure describes techniques that, with user permission, automatically determine the …
