  • Patent number: 11580556
    Abstract: A system and method for predicting behavior and/or outcomes related to a consumer's experience with an organization are implemented. Household data for households that are associated with a customer service interaction as of a certain date is collected, the household data having been created over a first pre-determined period of time preceding the certain date. The household data is analyzed to identify positive household data sets and negative household data sets. The positive household data sets relate to customer service interactions which preceded a high level customer service interaction within a subsequent period of time and the negative household data sets relate to customer service transactions which did not precede a high level customer service interaction with the subsequent period of time.

  • Patent number: 11574322
    Abstract: An online system predicts whether a location will experience a threshold increase in traffic over the location's historical average amount of traffic. To predict a future deviation over historical traffic, the online system identifies events within a threshold distance of the location and determines an average number of indications that users will attend events within a threshold radius of the location during a prior time interval. The online system determines a total number of indications that users will attend future events within the threshold distance of the location, disregarding locations associated with less than a threshold number of future events and future events for which the online system received less than a threshold number of indications that users will attend, and determines a ratio of the total number of indications to the average number of indications that users will attend received for the prior events during the time interval.

  • Patent number: 11093878
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments are disclosed that are configured to generate and temporally associate task structures in a computerized project plan representing tasks of a project. In one embodiment, a temporally dependent relationship is formed between a successor task structure and a group of predecessor task structures within the computerized project plan, in response to user interaction with a graphical user interface associated with the computerized project plan. The temporally dependent relationship is formed by allowing a temporal event associated with the successor task structure to be recorded within the computerized project plan as having occurred only after a temporal criterion is recorded within the computerized project plan as having been met for a defined number of predecessor task structures in the group. The defined number is less than a total number of predecessor task structures in the group.
