  • Patent number: 11966415
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for providing an enterprise user with an electronic identity and an electronic mailbox when the user has denied, degraded, intermittent, or latent network connectivity. In aspects, a database limited to a single user containing the user's electronic identity and electronic mailbox is provided. The single user database is replicated using a multi-master replication scheme across the cloud and on-premises servers. When a user is entering an environment with denied, degraded, intermittent, or latent network connectivity (“DDIL”), the single user database is replicated to a DDIL server. The user is provided access to their electronic identity and electronic mailbox in the single-user database via the DDIL server during periods of denied, degraded, intermittent, or latent network connectivity.

  • Patent number: 11966798
    Abstract: A type restriction contextually modifies an existing type descriptor. The type restriction is imposed on a data structure to restrict the values that are assumable by the data structure. The type restriction does not cancel or otherwise override the effect of the existing type descriptor on the data structure. Rather the type restriction may declare that a value of the data structure's type is forbidden for the data structure. Additionally or alternatively, the type restriction may declare that an element count allowable for a data structure's type is forbidden for the data structure. Type restriction allows optionality (where only a singleton value for a data structure is allowed), empty sets (where no value for a data structure is allowed), and multiplicity (where only a limited element count for a data structure) to be injected into a code set independent of data type. Type restriction allows certain optimizations to be performed.

  • Patent number: 11960481
    Abstract: A storage control system receives a request to access target data and searches a primary metadata structure to find an associated metadata entry. The primary metadata structure comprises a log-structured merge tree comprising a first level of segments which comprises a group of segments having an associated group filter, and individual filters associated with respective segments of the group of segments. The storage control system searches the primary metadata structure by performing a lookup operation using the group filter to determine whether the associated metadata entry is potentially present in a given segment of the group of segments, and performing a lookup operation using the individual filters to identify the given segment of the group of segments which potentially includes the metadata entry, when the metadata entry is determined to be potentially present in a given segment of group of segments, using the group filter.

  • Patent number: 11960620
    Abstract: A method for distributed tokenization of sensitive strings of characters, such as social security numbers, credit card numbers and the like, in a local server is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of receiving from a central server at least one, and preferably at least two, static token lookup tables, and receiving a sensitive string of characters. In a first tokenization step, a first sub string of characters is substituted with a corresponding first token from the token lookup table(s) to form a first tokenized string of characters, wherein the first sub string of characters is a substring of the sensitive string of characters. Thereafter, in a second step of tokenization, a second sub string of characters is substituted with a corresponding second token from the token lookup table(s) to form a second tokenized string of characters, wherein the second substring of characters is a substring of the first tokenized string of characters. Optionally, one or more additional tokenization steps is/are used.

  • Patent number: 11914573
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.

  • Patent number: 11893067
    Abstract: A payment service system monitors data associated with a dynamic information feed and determines trending causes based on the monitoring. The system accesses user information associated with a user and identifies a trending cause that is relevant to the user based on the user information. The system transmits, to the user's mobile device, a recommendation alert that is formatted based on a local application on the user's mobile device, and causes the user's mobile device to surface the recommendation alert to recommend the relevant trending cause within the local application. The system receives an indication of an interaction with the recommendation alert via the user's mobile device. In response, the system facilitates a transfer of at least one asset from an account associated with the user to at least one account associated with at least one recipient entity associated with the relevant trending cause according to a specified distribution.

  • Patent number: 11868396
    Abstract: An embodiment may involve, based on a profile associated with a client device, selecting an audio file containing music. Based on an attribute of the audio file containing the music, an audio file containing a story may be selected. A playlist for the client device may be generated, where the playlist includes (i) a reference to the audio file containing the music, and (ii) a reference to the audio file containing the story.

  • Patent number: 11868350
    Abstract: Described are improved systems, computer program products, and methods for adaptively provisioning an ordered sequence in a clustered database environment. The approach includes identifying a cached list of sequence numbers. A request for one or more sequence numbers in a database environment may be received. A determination may be made to decide whether the request pertains to an ordered sequence. The one or more sequence numbers may be adaptively provisioned to fulfill the request based at least in part upon an independent cache implementation or upon a shared cache implementation.

  • Patent number: 11853288
    Abstract: Enhanced filter accuracy is disclosed with respect to determining whether a data element is present in a data store. The filter can correspond to a probabilistic filter with multiple levels. At each level after a representation of an original data element is captured in a data structure, a predetermined modification can be applied to the data element and a representation of the resulting modified data element can be captured in the data structure. In query operation, a check be performed for the presence or absence of an input data element and a number of modifications of the input data element, which results in a reduced false positive probability and improved accuracy. A multidimensional data structure can also be employed in conjunction with multiple levels to further improve accuracy.
