Patent number: 11966372Abstract: A novel technique for matching, merging, and combining a new database record with a master database record is described herein. The technique uses specific fields to compare in a unique exact match and fuzzy match combination to determine if a non-exact matching record pair is indeed a matched pair. Once the match is established, the records are merged or combined to utilize the best information from the two records.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bottomline Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard Gagne, Michelle Cloutier, Brian Amend, Sean Glerum

Patent number: 11941030Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that provide more efficient hierarchical propagation in tree structures are disclosed. With this technology, a first delta record for a first interior node is created optionally in an atomic transaction along with updating a first tally record for a leaf node based on a first value. The transaction is in response to an action associated with the leaf node and the first interior node is a parent of the leaf node in a hierarchical tree. A timer associated with the first delta record is then set. A second value is updated in a second tally record for the first interior node based on the first value, when the timer has expired. Accordingly, this technology advantageously maintains recursive properties or values throughout a hierarchical tree continually, with reduced cost, even in a distributed network and in hierarchical trees with large numbers of nodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: NETAPP, INC.Inventors: Richard Jernigan, Keith Bare, Bill Zumach
