Patent number: 10797976Abstract: The present invention determines which network devices are likely to have a positive result in engagements with terminal devices. A server can obtain data about network devices with respect to the communication session with a network site. Then the server can use rules to define a set of network devices that are eligible to interact or communicate with a terminal device. The server can connect to the network devices as randomly as possible. Terminal devices can initiate engagements with network devices. The server can detect characteristics in the interaction of engagements that have positive results. The server generates an evaluation protocol based on the characteristics, to assign new network devices a parameter representing how close the new network device conforms to the evaluation protocol. The parameter is used by the system in real-time to inform terminal devices as to which network devices to connect to and in what order.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: LIVEPERSON, INC.Inventors: Gregg Freishtat, Steve Hufford, Dodge McFall, Jackson Wilson, Tanya Hyman, Vikas Rijsinghani, Paul Kaib

Patent number: 9942960Abstract: The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling a lighting unit to provide multiple different static and dynamic illumination patterns. The illumination patterns can be provided in response to changes in environmental conditions detected by sensors of the lighting unit. For instance, the lighting unit can provide a flame-like illumination pattern when the sensor is detecting a first threshold amount of motion, and a static illumination pattern when the sensor is detecting a second threshold amount of motion. The flame-like illumination pattern can be expressed using multiple light guides that extend from the lighting unit and receive different colors of light that imitate the motion of a flame. The light guides can be, for example, cylindrical or pipe-shaped, and etched with different patterns to absorb and reflect incident light.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: HealthCo LLCInventors: Scott Blaise Tylicki, Brian James Skelton, Michael C. Garrett, Michael C. McKee, Jackson Wilson

Publication number: 20180045206Abstract: The present disclosure describes an air filtration device that operates a fan-speed sensor error elimination process. The air filtration device uses a PID control module to ensure its fan operates at a desired fan speed. The fan-speed sensor error elimination process ensures that the air filtration device's controller does not send a measured fan speed determined using data that represent the time it takes the fan blade to complete a fraction of a revolution to the PID control module. This ensures the PID control module accurately controls electrical current supplied to the fan motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2016Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: Daniel J. Birk, Brian Skelton, Jackson Wilson

Patent number: 9576292Abstract: The system of the present invention provides systems and methods for selling goods and services on, over, through, and in conjunction with the Internet. The system receives session (clickstream) information on a customer's website session from the enterprise's website and may also receive customer information on the customer from the enterprise's CRM or eCRM system. The session information referred to comprises the goods or services the customer is searching and metadata about such search and the relevant products, such as the surfing pattern itself. The system determines from the received information, based on the interaction between matching rules created using the system by the enterprise and the system's matching engine, whether the customer is a candidate for assistance from a sales associate. The system creates and indexes information on available sales associates and their performance, selling capabilities and product expertise.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: LivePerson, Inc.Inventors: Gregg Freishtat, Steve Hufford, Dodge Mcfall, Jackson Wilson, Tanya Hyman, Vikas Rijsinghani, Paul Kaib
