  • Patent number: 10425295
    Abstract: A device may receive a request for a service management plan that is to be used to implement a fully-integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for an organization. The device may receive organizational data associated with the organization. The device may determine, based on the organizational data, observations that serve as hypotheses for deficiencies associated with a current state of a system of the organization. The device may identify, based on the observations, priorities that define a target state for the fully-integrated ERP system that is to be generated. The device may select, based on a machine-learning-driven analysis of the observations and the priorities, a recommendation for a configuration of the fully-integrated ERP system. The device may generate, based on the recommendation, the service management plan for the organization. The device may perform a set of actions to cause the configuration to be implemented.

  • Publication number: 20190286492
    Abstract: A multi-layer resource control stack based system may generate an availability indication for multiple domains supported by the resource control stack and send the indication to a client node. The client node may respond with a selection of a domain. The client node may also indicate a compute resource to be managed by the resource control stack. In response to the selection from the client node, the resource control stack may initiate a virtual representation of the domain. The client node may interact with the virtual representation to receive recommendations, utilization data, and control information relevant to the compute resource and within a subject area associated with the domain.

  • Patent number: 10404455
    Abstract: A system includes circuitry for rewriting blockchains in a non-tamper-evident or tamper-evident operation by a trusted party during a rewrite-permissive phase. During a rewrite-embargoed phase, at least one trusted party with rewrite access during the rewrite-permissive phase may have rewrite access revoked. In some implementations, rewrite access may be implemented by controlling access to a key secret for the blockchain. In some cases, access to the key secret may be changed by deleting the key secret or by changing access permissions for a particular device.

  • Patent number: 10402660
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying people depicted in images. In one aspect, a process includes receiving an image from a camera. A face of a person is detected in the image. The image is compared to a set of images stored in a local cache. A determination is made whether the face of the person matches a face of a person depicted by at least one image of the set of images. In response to determining that the face of the person does not match a face of a person depicted by at least one image of the set of images, a selection is made of a highest quality image of the face of the person. A server system compares the highest quality image to images from data for the multiple people to identify the person.

  • Patent number: 10402659
    Abstract: Computerized methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, may detect event shown within digital video content captured by one or more video cameras, and correlate these detected events to real-world conditions that may not be captured within the digital video data. For example, a computing system may detect events shown within digital video content captured by one or more video cameras, and may obtain data that identifies at least one external event. The computer system may establish a predictive model that correlates values of event parameters that characterize the detected and external events during a first time period, and may apply the predictive model to an event parameter that characterizes an additional event detected during a second time period. Based on an outcome of the predictive model, the computing system may determine an expected value of the external event parameter during the second time period.

  • Patent number: 10402163
    Abstract: Electronically received data is validated based on a digital data image that is scanned from a paper document. Known paper document source entities, paper document types and associated paper document configuration information are stored in a database. The paper documents are converted to digital data images and optically processed to identify respective source entity and document type information represented within the digital data images. Appropriate document configuration information is retrieved based on association with the detected type of document. Validation target data is extracted from the digital data images based on the configuration information and processed. The electronically received data is validated based on the extracted and processed validation target data.
