  • Patent number: 11747971
    Abstract: Information related to apparently successful matches between two entities is collected, and culled based on a later indication that the match failed. Matches between two entities may be generated based on comparative information with other entities who appear to share some characteristics or preferences. Matches may be based on actual actions, in contrast to expressed preferences. Actual actions may be taken into account in addition to expressed preferences. Generation of matches may take into account geographical and/or temporal proximity and/or likelihood of receiving a response, in addition to other attributes of an entity. Matching algorithms may be updated based on entity input. Potential matches may be presented to third party entities for evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11704310
    Abstract: The present invention discloses numerous implementations of system and method which receives a user request and, using methods of natural language processing including part of speech tagging, analyses the user request to generate a query to a database of information. Based on the machine understanding, the system presents an interactive representation of the uttered request back to the user. This provides context to the user, which explains the machine understanding of the request and acts as an interface to iteratively refine or adjust the machine understanding by altering specific elements of the uttered language. The methods of altering specific elements of the uttered language may vary depending on the element and a variety of user selectable interfaces may be used to display one or more queried elements along with alternative elements pertaining to the queried element. The user could select an alternative element and change the database query.

  • Patent number: 11698929
    Abstract: A central processing unit can offload table lookup or tree traversal to an offload engine. The offload engine can provide hardware accelerated operations such as instruction queueing, bit masking, hashing functions, data comparisons, a results queue, and a progress tracking. The offload engine can be associated with a last level cache. In the case of a hash table lookup, the offload engine can apply a hashing function to a key to generate a signature, apply a comparator to compare signatures against the generated signature, retrieve a key associated with the signature, and apply the comparator to compare the key against the retrieved key. Accordingly, a data pointer associated with the key can be provided in the result queue. Acceleration of operations in tree traversal and tuple search can also occur.

  • Patent number: 11663245
    Abstract: Partial initial construction of a deferred object model. This is done using a map that correlates positions of a hierarchically structured definition and corresponding hierarchical positions within an object model. The map is accessed and used to initially construct a deferred object model that even leaves some of the deferred objects unpopulated. The map is used to determine which parts of the hierarchical object definition no longer need to be parsed in order to construct this initial form of the deferred object model. If a request for an object is detected at some point after the initial construction, and that requested object is not represented even in deferred form in the deferred object model, the system uses the map to find the position of the corresponding object definition in the hierarchical object definition. At that point, the system parses that position, and constructs the object.

  • Patent number: 11663173
    Abstract: Methods and systems for redirection of requests received by a service or an API are provided. According to one embodiment, a request, relating to a domain or a focal point of related data (e.g., an OData entity), is received from a client by a service (e.g., an OData service) operable to serve data from a data source or an in-memory cache. When the request involves manipulation of a portion of the data, automatic updating of values of the data that are dependent thereon is facilitated by directing fulfilment of the request to the cache; otherwise: it is determined whether to fulfill the request based on the in-memory cache. When the determination is affirmative, then the portion of the data is retrieved from the in-memory cache. When the determination is negative, then the portion of the data is retrieved from the data source.
