  • Publication number: 20230177541
    Abstract: The early adopters and potential influencers (EAPI) system, method and computer-readable medium provide a way to identify early adopters and potential influencers. The EAPI system obtains a list of purchases for customers of merchants and/or subscriptions from a transaction tracking system. The EAPI system creates a time-based transaction network, and using a scoring function, the EAPI system determines an early adopter and/or potential influencer ranking among customers in the network. The EAPI system may use one or more customer attributes to determine a customer's influence with respect to different dimensions.

  • Patent number: 11651155
    Abstract: The email suggestor system and method provide an efficient and effective way to capture a user identifier, such as an email address of a consumer in a retail environment. The email suggestor system generates one or more suggested first text portions based on input data, outputs at least one of the suggested first text portions, and receives a selection of a first text portion. The email suggestor system generates one or more suggested second text portions of a user identifier based on the input data, outputs at least one of the suggested second text portions, and receives a selection of a second text portion. The email suggestor system generates a user identifier including the selected first text portion and the selected second text portion. The email suggestor system uses received feedback response to refine and/or train one or more models with which it generates the suggested text portions.

  • Patent number: 10718152
    Abstract: A window, door, or facade element includes an outer frame composed of out frame bars and a leaf frame composed of leaf frame bars. One or more of the outer frame bars and/or of the leaf frame bars has/have at least the following features: a base profile, on which two fastening grooves that are open in the same direction are formed for fixing a corresponding fastener of a fitting arrangement, which bridges the intermediate space between the fastening grooves. The two fastening grooves have at least one latch for at least one counterpart latch, which can be attached without tools, of a fitting part arrangement. The fitting arrangement has a functional fitting on a fitting plate and at least one support element for supporting the fitting. The support element is designed for direct or indirect latching in the fastening grooves by means of the counterpart latch.
