Publication number: 20240154926Abstract: A data processing system is configured to perform a computer implemented method for facilitation of efficient processing of electronic messages via a network from message sources. The method includes receiving an electronic message including actionable object data and textual object data from a message source device. The actionable object data includes parameters actionable by at least one data processing transaction device to perform data processing transactions external to the network device and the textual object data including descriptors of the parameters actionable by the at least one data processing transaction device. The textual object data is operable by devices incompatible with the actionable object data. The method includes calculating an execution command for the data processing transaction in response to the actionable object data and based on at least the parameters of the actionable object data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: Carrick John Pierce, Baris Mestanogullari, Ajay Kumar Jain, Agnes Casenave, David Bernard Barton, Nicholas Bandy

Patent number: 11960514Abstract: A method of generating content in association with an information search and retrieval system. It begins by receiving a query from a user. The query is semantically-searched to identify a context. A conversation history between the user and the system is identified. An enriched query is then generated by associating to the query both the context and at least a portion of the conversation history. The enriched query is then evaluated/processed by a generative-AI. In response, information associated with the enriched query is received from the generative-AI. A response to the query is then generated using the information, e.g., by passing the information back to the user, by modifying (e.g., editing or supplementing) the information to generate modified information and passing the modified information back to the user, or by dismissing the information. If sensitive information is identified in the utterance, it is masked prior to generating the enriched query.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Drift.com, Inc.Inventors: Matt Taylert, Bernard Ngombi Kiyanda, Maria C. Moya, Joseph S. Demple, Matthew Pierce

Patent number: 11797706Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for mobile device network traffic modification and user identity based restrictions on data access. One of the methods includes a user device receiving a request to enter a restricted mode, the restricted mode enforcing compliance of rules associated with electronic personal health information (ePHI). A user interface presented on the user device is updated according to restricted mode. Functionality of the user device is constrained based on the restricted mode, with information generated during the restricted mode being encrypted on the user device.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Health2047, Inc.Inventors: Josh O. Whitkin, Justin James Klein, Bernard Pierce Mangold, Jack Stockert, Michael James Walker

Patent number: 9262236Abstract: A program (e.g., an operating system) is provided a warning that it has a grace period in which to perform a function, cleanup (e.g., complete, stop and/or move a dispatchable unit). The program is being warned, in one example, that it is losing access to its shared resources. For instance, in a virtual environment, a guest program is warned that it is about to lose its central processing unit resources, and therefore, it is to perform a function, such as cleanup.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mark S. Farrell, Charles W. Gainey, Jr., Jeffrey P. Kubala, James H. Mulder, Bernard Pierce, Robert R. Rogers, Donald W. Schmidt

Patent number: 9218211Abstract: A method for priority promotion of a service request comprises receiving the service request for a target address space into a set of work requests, the set of work requests comprising a plurality of service requests for the target address space, the service request originating from a source address space, the service request having a priority equivalent to a priority of the target address space, the source address space having a higher priority than the target address space; determining a number of service requests for the target address space in the set of work requests; and, in the event the number of service requests for the target address space exceeds a predetermined value, promoting the priority of the service request to the priority of the source address space.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2009Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jacob W.
