Patent number: 11838382Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for a proxy network that can determine, for a set of objects, an initial differential, where the initial differential is determined using a rules data store of a host network. The proxy network can further determine a supplemental differential for the set of objects. The proxy network can further determine a final differential that is the sum of the initial differential and the supplemental differential. The proxy network can further determine a final sum for the set of objects that is the object value less the final differential. The proxy network can further generate an outbound data packet that includes values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum. When the host network receives the outbound data packet, the host network can modify an object data store using the values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: LOOP COMMERCE, INC.Inventors: Roy Erez, Alex Sirota, Gabriel Saunkeah

Patent number: 11803699Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product and system for annotating messages with a parsed time expressions is provided. A processor detects a time expression in a message. A processor establishes a time zone associated with the time expression, based upon the message body, the sending client's real-time location and the sending client's pre-determined time zone settings. A processor establishes a time zone of the receiving client based upon the receiving client's real-time location and the receiving client's pre-determined time zone settings. A processor compares the time zone of the time expression and the time zone of the receiving client to determine whether a parsing of the time expression in the message is required. A processor creates an annotation of the time expression based on the comparison of the time zones of the sending client and the receiving client. A processor appends the annotation of the time expression to the message.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Anthony Philip Papageorgiou
