  • Patent number: 11330047
    Abstract: Work-load management in a client-server infrastructure includes setting request information in accordance with request semantics corresponding to a type of request from a client. The request semantics include different request-types provided with different priorities during processing. Within a server, requests with high priority are included in a standard request processing queue. Further, requests with low priority are excluded from the standard request processing queue when server workload of the server exceeds a predetermined first threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11316808
    Abstract: An advocacy system uses trained machine learning models to create messages that are sent to advocates or policymakers to achieve desired outcomes for an organization. Desired outcomes can include, for example: an advocate sending a message to a policymaker or legislative representative advocating in favor or the organization's position on an issue; a policymaker acting or voting in favor of the organization's position on an issue; or an advocate making a financial contribution to the organization. The machine learning models can be configured to select possible message characteristics or features that the system will include or use in creating messages for individual senders and recipients. The machine learning models can be trained based on message characteristics, personal profile characteristics of senders/recipients, and outcomes from previously sent messages. Personal profile characteristics of senders/recipients can indicate correlations between certain message characteristics and certain outcomes.

  • Patent number: 11222182
    Abstract: A receiving unit (310) receives a message transmitted from any one of the users that are talk targets. The interpreter (341) attempts to interpret, as an answer to a question, the message received by the receiving unit (310). A collector (342) collects, upon success of the attempt made by the interpreter (341), the interpreted answer as the answer from the user who sends the message. When a predetermined requirement is satisfied in a state where a yet-to-respond user whose answer is not yet collected by the collector (342) is present, an inquiry transmitter (321) transmits an inquiry about the question to at least the yet-to-respond user among the users. A result transmitter (322), after the answers are collected from all of the users, transmits to the users a message indicating a result obtained by tallying the answers.
