  • Patent number: 11281700
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing actions of a graph-based activity on a subset of an entity-relationship database, wherein the database has entity instances related by relationship instances. Each relationship instance is associated with a relationship type. Each relationship type has associated metadata. Method steps include identifying an entity instance in the entity-relationship database upon which the action is to be performed, performing the action, determining one or more entity instances related to the identified entity instance, and for each determined entity instance, determining the relationship type of the relationship instance relating the determined entity instance to the identified entity instance, and determining, based upon the metadata associated with the relationship type, whether the action is to be performed on the determined entity instance, and repeating the method steps for each entity instance for which it is determined that the action is to be performed on that instance.

  • Patent number: 11243924
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for determining a data standardization score for an attribute of a dataset. A data standardization score is calculated, which reflects whether data quality of attribute values would increase if a standardization rule is applied to the attribute values. Based on attribute metadata, it may be determined whether an indication to carry or not to carry out standardization is available for at least part of the attribute values of the dataset. In response to finding the indication, a respective value may be set for the data standardization score. In response to not finding the indication, a data standardization score algorithm may be run on the at least part of the attribute values of the dataset. The data standardization score value may be compared to a predefined criterion to determine whether data standardization is to be applied on the attribute.

  • Patent number: 11188619
    Abstract: Single-click delta analysis is disclosed. A user query of status information collected from one or more monitored devices is received from a user. In response to receiving an indication from the user to determine a variance between different portions of the collected status information, a target query and a baseline query are generated using the user query. The generated target query and the generated baseline query are performed, respectively, against data in a data store including the status information collected from the one or more monitored devices. A target set of status information results and a baseline set of status information results are obtained in response to performing, respectively, the generated target query and the generated baseline query. The obtained target and baseline sets of results are combined. Output indicative of a variance between the target and baseline sets of status information results is provided based at least in part on the combining.

  • Patent number: 11044181
    Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to receive broadcast reports from a network, where each broadcast report includes an account identifier, a group identifier, a data stream identifier and a value. Each broadcast report is stored in a database as raw data. A request for information in the database is received. In response to the request, the raw data is altered in accordance with a pre-defined data transformation to produce transformed data. A first visualization of the transformed data associated with a first data stream identifier of a first group identifier is rendered. A second visualization of the transformed data associated with a second data stream identifier of the first group identifier is rendered. The first visualization is supplied in conjunction with the second visualization in response to the request.

  • Patent number: 11031138
    Abstract: Systems and methods, as well as devices, are described for clinical resource generation. CCDA documents that include clinical information and observations are utilized to generate FHIR model instances that are specific to the CCDA documents. Path definitions are assigned for each information-value pair the CCDA documents that define mappings between the information-value pairs and objects of FHIR model instances. Objects for the instance models are created, and values are provided to the objects representative of the information-value pairs. Groups of objects are provided in FHIR resource bundles that are stored in a database which may be queried against to provide specific FHIR resources upon request. Requests for clinical information may be used to trigger the generation of the FHIR resource bundles.

  • Patent number: 10984035
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for identifying media content using indirect qualities are provided. An example media-delivery system includes a content identification engine that applies a model associated with an indirect quality to media content items to generate indirect quality scores for the media content items, filters the media content items based on metadata associated with the media content items to generate filtered media content items, and presents at least some of the filtered media content items based on the indirect quality scores. An example media-playback device includes a search control engine that presents a search interface with a user-actuatable control for specifying a value of an indirect quality for use as a search criteria, transmits the search criteria to a media-delivery service, and receives media content items matching the search criteria from the media-delivery service, wherein the media content items are identified using a statistical model.
