  • Patent number: 10748099
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that enable both the real-time monitoring and historical tracking of events and actions performed by disparate systems and software applications associated with a computing device that also permit insight into the relationships between such events and actions. The inventive systems and methods synchronously and asynchronously capture event data from various event sources associated with a computing device. The event data can be enriched before correlating associated event data into transactions resulting in telemetry information to provide a more accurate and complete picture of what activities the computing device is performing and how the computing device is utilized to accomplish particular tasks. This telemetry information enables the system to perform descriptive and predictive analytical processes as well as artificial intelligence that provide valuable insights to improve end user and system performance.

  • Patent number: 10685027
    Abstract: A search system is provided with an on-line social network system. When a user of the on-line social network system requests a search, the search system examines a member profile representing the user in the on-line social network system and derives, from the member profile, additional terms to be included into the search request together with the user-supplied search terms. The resulting query is processed by applying the AND operator to the user-supplied terms and a weighted OR operator to the additional terms derived from the member profile. The search results obtained by executing the query are made available to the requesting user.

  • Patent number: 10671659
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting medical image data items. A central processor identifies a new medical image data file on a remote image storage memory. The central processor determines that the new medical image data file is a completed file and copies the completed file to a central storage memory. The central processor determines an expected set of files corresponding to the medical image data file that defines a medical image data item. The central processor determines that each of the medical image data files in the expected set have been copied to the central storage memory. The central processor then generates an indicator that the medical image date item is available on the central storage memory.

  • Patent number: 10650007
    Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for ranking contextual metadata to generate relevant data insights. Aspects of the invention can be used to enhance data analytics by automatically deriving relevance signals used to generate insights closely related to the context in which a user is exploring or analyzing data. User experiences can include embedded data visualizations, search engines, and natural language querying systems to help users understand their data more effectively. By utilizing metrics on the relevance information, insights related and/or relevant to the context in which the user is analyzing data can be created. Thus, relevance information can define a scope for a variety of automatically generated insights of data. Insight generation can be based on computed relevance signals that target areas interesting to users.
