Publication number: 20240070794Abstract: A document management system uses machine learning to identify legal obligations within contract documents. The document management system trains a machine-learned model using historical contract documents having historical legal obligations; the trained machine-learned model is configured to identify portions of text within a contract document that correspond to legal obligations. The machine-learned model, applied to a set of contract documents, identifies a set of legal obligations. The document management system presents, via a user interface, information about the set of identified legal obligations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Thierry Bonfante, Robert Michael Johnson, Staci Leigh Black, Joyce Liang, Venkata Suresh Kumar Araveeti, Pratik Vinay Hatkar, Radhika Kotangoor, Sandesh Meda, Haitao Song, Gor Vardanyan

Publication number: 20230139380Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Christina Silva Hamlin, David Minoru Hirotsu, Saul Adams Aguilar, Dia A. Abulzahab, Mangesh Prabhakar Bhandarkar, Isaac John Steiner, Michael Wayne Fountain, William Gerard Wetherell, Iqra Anjum, Celine Beck, Robert Michael Johnson, Yiting Zheng, Thierry Bonfante, Madhubala Rawat, Samuel J.

Patent number: 10867273Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for an interface for expanding logical combinations based on relative placement are provided. Logical combinations are built using a consistent logical layout specifying logical operators and order of operations based on direction of expansion and relative positions. The interface allows the user to add or move objects at specific positions relative to existing objects to select the logical operators for integrating the objects into the logical combination. Based on the specific pathway that the direction follows, an associated logical operator is selected to connect an existing object to the new or moved object. The logical combinations that are built in Visual Information Builder (VIB) can be automatically translated into corresponding business rule code for evaluation and execution by a rules engine.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Angus Graham, Celine Beck, Artashes Gamarian, Thierry Bonfante, Jeremy Ashley

Patent number: 9892380Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a user interface including a dynamic visualization of an entire current context of a user, which facilitates understanding and communicating the business knowledge in collaborative business processes. According to embodiments of the present invention, these visualizations can be context sensitive and dynamically adapted to the business process metadata, user's roles, user's location, and the applicable tasks. Embodiments of the present invention provide visualizations of the evolution of the entire context including digital information and the relationships between changed items. These visualizations can include but are not limited to a 360 view, a network/dependency view, and a time-based view.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Rozita Naghshin, Thierry Bonfante, Jeremy Ashley, Reza Etemadi, Sherry Mead

Patent number: 9576263Abstract: A system and method for facilitating rendering a user interface display screen or portion thereof. An example method includes determining context information associated with a user, wherein the context information includes use job role information; and employing the context information to select one or more visualization types from a set of available visualization types. The method may further include using the context information to provide one or more first user options to select one or more categories of data pertaining to a business task; referencing the one or more categories to facilitate determining one or more data attributes, dimensions, or measures associated with the context information; utilizing the one or more data attributes and the context information to select the one or more visualization types from the set of available visualization types; and providing a second user option to choose a visualization type from among selected visualization types.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Celine Beck, Thierry Bonfante, Sherry Ellen Mead, Artashes Gamarian

Patent number: 9552562Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for a visual information builder for business rules are provided. By providing an additional interface layer over a general purpose business rule creation interface, role-based and context-sensitive interaction and presentation can be provided to abstract the complexity of the underlying service platform that supports the business rules. Templates are used to provide custom context-sensitive user interfaces and to hide complexity from the user by limiting the scope of the rule dictionary exposed to the user. The general rule building process is uniformly consistent across different contexts and operates similarly at the block and rule scale. Moreover, logical combinations are built using a consistent logical layout specifying logical operators and order of operations based on direction of expansion and relative positions.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Angus Graham, Celine Beck, Artashes Gamarian, Thierry Bonfante, Jeremy Ashley

Publication number: 20100031135Abstract: A computer-implemented method of managing collaboration in an enterprise application includes creating an annotation that corresponds to at least a first document and a second document, the first document having a first document format and the second document having a second document format. The computer-implemented method can further include mapping the annotation to a workflow process. An annotation management system includes multiple document repositories to store documents, an annotation repository to store annotations, wherein each annotation references a document stored in a corresponding document repository, and an annotation application to allow collaborators to view at least some of the annotations, allow at least one of the collaborators to search the annotations, and allow at least one of the collaborators to apply a filter to the annotations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2008Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Rozita Naghshin, Thierry Bonfante, Warren Baird
