  • Patent number: 11100466
    Abstract: A system is presented that profiles authors and social media data across different media platforms and is capable of determining the author's overall social impact. In one aspect, this is accomplished by using a data retrieval service to trawl various web-sites and social media platforms for information about authors which can then be associated with those authors in a profile database. In one example, an author may post an entry on his/her blog and the data retrieval service can access the profile information of the author, on the blog, where various aspects of the profile information (e.g., real name, employee information, home address) can be matched with candidates in a profile database. From the information gathered, authors can be linked across multiple, different platforms, and an overall social impact of each of the authors can be determined.

  • Patent number: 11093553
    Abstract: Embodiments provide an overview visualization of graph data by rendering a graph's structure based upon different node/edge types, rather than upon a total number of nodes and/or edges. These node/edge types are recognized based upon associated metadata. The small number of different node/edge types of a typical graph reduces components for representation in the overview, simplifying that visualization and facilitating user interaction. A user can switch between the graph overview, and a different view affording node-level details. In analysis and/or querying, switching between the overview and the detailed visualization can afford natural and intuitive control over data granularity. For example the overview visualization of graph data may allow a user to initially filter on particular node types, with the subsequent node-level view permitting exploration of finer details while maintaining the overall context of the original graph.

  • Patent number: 11093456
    Abstract: Entity data represent entities related according to a hierarchy, with at least one root entity at a highest level and one or more entities at one or more levels below the highest level. One or more entities each have multiple instances, and at least one attribute having respective elements for each of the instances. Input data includes expressions that express functions of arguments, with one or more of the arguments referencing an attribute of an entity represented in the entity data. Processing expressions includes: (a) analyzing an expression to determine, for each of one or more attributes, at least one of: (1) a position in the hierarchy of an entity of the attribute, or (2) a number of elements of a result of a function applied to an argument that references the attribute, and (b) evaluating the expression, or indicating an error based on a result of analyzing the expression.

  • Patent number: 11061975
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatically suggesting members of a social media system as recipients for sharing an item of social media content. Computerized analysis of the social media content includes image analysis, audio analysis, and language analysis for classifying the content. Profiles of participants within a social media system are examined to determine candidates for sharing. A subset of participants having profiles with metadata deemed relevant to the analyzed social media content is obtained. For each participant in the subset, an interaction score is computed, indicative of the amount of interaction between the participant and the sender of the content has occurred previously. The subset is ranked based on the interaction score. Participants having an interaction score above a predetermined threshold are deemed to be candidates for sharing the item of social media content, and are presented to a user on an electronic display.

  • Patent number: 10936572
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product is provided for tracking state data of objects during a session, and saving the data to a database. The tracking may be performed by a reusable set of computer program code accessible by a plurality of user interface applications. Temporary data may be stored as insert objects, update objects, and delete objects and maintained during a session of a user interface application. The temporary data may be updated as additional data is manipulated by the user interface application, but does not need to be tracked by the user interface application. The user interface application indicates if data is to be deleted, or is current (e.g., new or modified). Upon completion of the session, calls are made to update the database based on the temporary data.
