    Abstract: A method includes detecting a keyword within an audio stream. The keyword is one of multiple keywords in a database, in which each of the multiple keywords relates to at least one of multiple domains in the database. The database stores a first confidence weight for each of the multiple keywords that are related to a first domain among the multiple domains. Each first confidence weight indicates a probability that a corresponding keyword relates to the first domain. The method includes determining whether a first confidence weight of the keyword is at least equal to an activation threshold value associated with the first domain. The method includes, in response to the first confidence weight of the keyword meeting the activation threshold value, activating a DS-ASR engine corresponding with the first domain to perform speech-to-text conversion on the audio stream.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a communication device communicating with one or more Internet-of-things devices, one or more processors, and a memory. The communication device receives, from at least one Internet-of-things device, an event notification. The one or more processors identify a notification recipient to whom the event notification should be sent from a plurality of predefined system users, select a receiving electronic device from at least two electronic devices belonging to the notification recipient, convert the event notification from a first event notification type to a second event notification type that is receivable by the receiving electronic device, and transmit the event notification to the receiving electronic device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for attaching an unmanned aircraft suspension perch to a surface with an unmanned aircraft are provided. One method includes retrieving, with the unmanned aircraft, the unmanned aircraft suspension perch. The method can include selecting, with one or more processors carried by the unmanned aircraft, an attachment location for the unmanned aircraft suspension perch. A flight engine responsive to the one or more processors can navigate the unmanned aircraft to the attachment location. The unmanned aircraft can attach the unmanned aircraft suspension perch to the surface at the attachment location. The unmanned aircraft can then suspend itself from the unmanned aircraft suspension perch, or alternatively release, with a perch interface of the unmanned aircraft, the unmanned aircraft suspension perch while the unmanned aircraft suspension perch remains attached to the surface at the attachment location.

    Abstract: An electronic device has pair(s) of conductive plates that is coupled to a housing and is electrically isolated by a dielectric material. The pair(s) of conductive plates is positioned to change relative orientation in relation to mechanical force that deforms the housing. Capacitive driver(s) is electrically coupled to pair(s) of conductive plates. A controller is communicatively coupled to the capacitive driver(s). The controller identifies a first capacitance of the pair(s) of conductive plates associated with the housing being in a normal state. The controller detects, via the capacitor driver(s), a change in capacitance from the first capacitance to a second capacitance of the pair(s) of conductive plates. The controller compares the change in capacitance to a threshold. In response to the change exceeding the threshold, the controller generates a notification.

    Abstract: A method, a communication device, and a computer program product for identifying a live phone call. The method includes receiving, at a first communication device, an activation of a verification mode for a phone call. The method includes receiving, from a second communication device on the phone call, first audio data associated with the phone call. The method further includes determining, via a processor of the first communication device, if the first audio data contains machine originated audio, and in response to determining that the first audio data does not contain machine originated audio, generating and outputting an alert that the phone call is live.

    Abstract: In aspects of generating action suggestions based on a change in user mood, a computing device implements an action generation module that generates action suggestions. The action generation module analyzes sensor data from sensors to determine a current user state associated with a user. The action generation module also analyzes environment data received from Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to determine a current environment context associated with the user. The action generation module can detect a change in a user mood based on a comparison of the current user state with user history data that includes user state parameters and environment context parameters that indicate the user mood. The action generation module can analyze the user history data to determine the user state parameters and/or the environment context parameters that correlate to the change in the user mood, and generate an action suggestion that is intended to modify the current user state.

    Abstract: An Internet-of-things device can detect, using one or more sensors, a condition exceeding a predefined condition threshold. If the condition is occurring at a location outside of an area monitored by the sensors of the Internet-of-things device, a communication device can transmit an investigation request to an unmanned aircraft. The investigation request can include a request to monitor an environment at the location. The Internet-of-things device can then receive an event report identifying whether a class of event is or was occurring at the location from the unmanned aircraft. The event report can include one or more event labels. The Internet-of-things device can transform, with an artificial intelligence engine, the one or more event labels into machine learned knowledge in an Internet-of-things knowledge domain.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing smart internet of things (IOT) menus utilize a camera of an electronic communications device and entail capturing an image of an IOT device of interest using a camera of the electronic communications device and identifying the IOT device of interest. The IOT of interest is displayed and may be selected by the device user. The user of the electronic communications device is identified and their historical behavior with respect to the selected IOT device is analyzed. A customized, rather than full, IOT device control menu is then generated and presented to the user.
