  • Patent number: 11948023
    Abstract: Improved intelligent personal assistant (IPA) software agents are disclosed that are configured to interact with various people, service providers, files, and/or smart devices. More particularly, this disclosure relates to an improved Natural Language Processing (NLP) Intent Determination Service (IDS) that is able to determine the likely best action to take in response to generic user commands and queries. The disclosed NLP IDS automatically selects valid (or potentially valid) API paths (e.g., sequence of API calls) to produce desired actions. Associated system actions and known API sequencing rules may then be used to process the incoming user command or query. A feedback loop is also disclosed to identify newly available APIs and success criteria for selected API paths. Discovery of API paths may be performed using predefined information, monitored information, programmatically determined interfaces, and programmatically tested interfaces.

  • Patent number: 11860737
    Abstract: An interface software layer is interposed between at least one application and a plurality of coprocessors. A data and command stream issued by the application(s) to an API of an intended one of the coprocessors is intercepted by the layer, which also acquires and stores the execution state information for the intended coprocessor at a coprocessor synchronization boundary. At least a portion of the intercepted data and command stream data is stored in a replay log associated with the intended coprocessor. The replay log associated with the intended coprocessor is then read out, along with the stored execution state information, and is submitted to and serviced by at least one different one of the coprocessors other than the intended coprocessor.

  • Patent number: 11687387
    Abstract: Systems and methods for routing information management system (IMS) messages to support multiple levels in an information management system environment. In some cases, a transaction code routing and classification scheme may be used to achieve isolation within an information management system for multiple development efforts occurring in one test system. An IMS router may intercept all transactions to determine a test level desired to process the transactions. At interception time, a destination is changed by the IMS router. The re-routed transactions are processed in separate data containers using unique programs, databases, user interfaces and formatting, based on requirements for a particular testing level.

  • Patent number: 11537413
    Abstract: The presentation of data models (a story) on a mobile device having limited memory and processing resources includes instantiating widgets one at a time for interaction with a user. When the user completes their interaction, the instance of that widget is removed from memory (destroyed); widgets are therefore stateless. A context framework that manages the application of filters to widgets that comprise the story. When a filter is applied, widget snapshot images used to display corresponding widgets in a collection view can be updated to reflect state changes of affected corresponding widgets so that users can see the state changes despite the widget being stateless.

  • Patent number: 11487639
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing and configuring an overall user experience score. Mobile and desktop user devices can collect and send data to a server about an application installed on the devices and the health of the devices. The server can use the application data and device health information to determine three scores for the application: a mobile score for a mobile version, a desktop score for a desktop version, and a device health score. The server can determine an overall user experience score based on the lowest of the three scores. The server can cause the overall user experience score to be displayed in a first graphical user interface (“GUI”). A second GUI can allow an administrator to reconfigure scoring metrics for the user experience scores by moving elements on a sliding bar that changes thresholds.
