A method, a structure, and a computer system for privacy-preserving motion analysis. Embodiments may include identifying one or more joints of a user based on collected data and generating one or more 3D representations of the one or more joints of the user. Embodiments may further include anonymizing the one or more 3D representations, classifying one or more actions of the user based on the one or more 3D representations, wherein the classifying outputs an action score, and exporting at least one of the one or more actions and the action score.

Privacy-preserving motion analysis

A method, a computer program product, and a computer system determine abnormal motion from a patient. The method includes receiving sensory data of the patient and a location in which the patient is present. The sensory data includes video data over a period of time the patient is being monitored. The method includes generating contextual information based on the sensory data. The contextual information is indicative of surroundings of the patient and characteristics of the location. The method includes generating motion information based on the sensory data. The motion information is indicative of movement of the patient in the location. The method includes generating contextual motion data by incorporating the contextual information with the motion information. The method includes determining the abnormal motion based on the contextual motion data.

Seizure detection using contextual motion

A method, a structure, and a computer system for privacy-preserving motion analysis. Embodiments may include collecting data corresponding to a user with one or more sensors and identifying one or more joints of the user based on the data. Embodiments may additionally include generating one or more 3D representations of the one or more joints of the user and anonymizing the one or more 3D representations by applying thereto a joint-centering and a random shuffling. Embodiments may further include classifying one or more actions of the user based on analysing the one or more 3D representations, and exporting at least one of the data and the one or more actions.

A method, computer program product, and a system where a processor(s), obtains pre-recorded visual data from a given location, captured by an image capture device at a visual input location at the given location. The processor(s) determines a position of the image capture device utilized to capture the visual data. The processor(s) obtains known landmarks from data related to the given location. The processor(s) analyzes the visual data to identify a portion of the known landmarks in the visual data, where the analyzing generates matched landmarks. The processor(s) determines a spatial orientation and positioning of the visual input location with respect to the matched landmarks, at the given location. The processor(s) generates an encryption key, utilizing the spatial orientation and the positioning of the visual input location with respect to the matched landmarks. The processor(s) encrypts a message with the encryption key, generating an encrypted message.

Location specific identity verification system

A method includes building a well-being profile for a given user based on data obtained from one or more sources associated with the given user. One or more personalized incentives for the given user are identified based on the well-being profile. A personalized route is generated based on the one or more identified personalized incentives, with the personalized route being designed to improve a well-being of the given user. A notification is transmitted to a given client device associated with the given user over a network, with the notification causing the given client device to display the personalized route.

Generating personalized routes for one or more users to improve user well-being

An apparatus for automatically separating and collecting a fluid stream into multiple portions, including a tubing to receive the fluid stream, a plurality of valves attached to the tubing in spaced relation along the length of the tubing and a plurality fluid collection containers attached to the valves. A controller controls the activation of the plurality of valves to collect and separate portions of the fluid stream in the plurality of the fluid collection containers. A flow meter detects the flow of the fluid stream in the tubing and measures a flow rate of the fluid stream. The controller activates the valves based on the detection of the fluid and the flow rate. The controller also activates the valves based on the timing of the fluid stream. The controller also monitors the flow rate over time and activates the valves in sequence based on the flow rate.

Automatic control of the separation and collection of fluid

Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of displaying a presentation. The method includes analyzing a set of media files that include the presentation. Thereafter, each media file is displayed in a predetermined order. Upon the detection of an audience viewing the media files, the displaying of the media files is adjusted based on characteristics of the audience.

Dynamically altering presentations to maintain or increase viewer attention

A reality augmenting computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product, includes detecting a consumer and at least one of a product and a location, determining a current sensory state of the consumer, calculating a desired sensory state to achieve a target mood based on a correlation between the target mood and a user model, and executing an action according to the desired sensory state by a wearable to change the current sensory state of the consumer to the target mood.

System, method and computer program product for reality augmenting towards a predefined object

A computer-implemented method includes determining a characteristic of a target audience for a viewing of a visual media, extracting a frame of the visual media from an electronic signal, identifying an object that is visible in the frame of the visual media, and digitally inserting an item of advertising content into the frame of the visual media, in a region of the object, wherein a selection of the item of advertising content has been optimized for at least the characteristic of the audience.

Optimizing product placement in a media

An apparatus for the collection of multiple samples of a fluid stream. The apparatus includes a plurality fluid collection containers arranged to receive separate portions of the fluid stream in a temporal sequence and a sealing mechanism provided on each fluid collection container configured to close the fluid collection containers when filled by a portion of the fluid stream and to cause the fluid stream to flow to the next fluid collection container in the sequence. The fluid collection containers separately collect at least a beginning portion of the fluid stream, a mid-portion of the fluid stream and an end-portion of the fluid stream. Each of the fluid collection containers may be detachably connected to tubing held in a housing having a sloped upper surface for receiving the fluid stream and an inlet for directing the fluid stream to the tubing. The housing may be a fluid collection cup.

Automatically capturing information and performing content searching may include extracting features from data content, for example, captured via an image capturing device or by another method. Features extracted from the data content are structured into an ontology graph representing keywords and contextual relationships. Search queries are generated based on the ontology graph, by inputting the ontology graph to a query generating machine learning model trained to predict one or more search queries. The search queries are executed and one or more search results are presented on a user interface, for example, a display device. Based on received feedback on the search results, the machine learning model is retrained.
