  • Patent number: 10971159
    Abstract: A method for accessing a virtual personal assistant has been developed. First, a trust relationship is established between a primary smart speaker device that allows a user to access the virtual personal assistant with voice commands and a separate secondary smart speaker device. A trust relationship is established by generating a request at the secondary smart speaker device to allow access the virtual personal assistant with voice print authentication from the user and then validating the request at the primary smart speaker device to confirm the authenticity of the request. Next, a voice input is received from the user at the secondary smart speaker device requesting access to the virtual personal assistant. The identity of the user is verified using voice print identification with the secondary smart speaker device. Access for the user is then granted to the virtual personal assistant using the secondary smart speaker device.

  • Patent number: 10970468
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more data objects in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher with a custom action. The custom action is defined in accordance with custom action instructions provided by a first entity via an application programming interface (API). Such custom action instructions may declaratively or programmatically define the data object, the interaction to be performed with the data object, and other attributes associated with the custom action. A user may request to interact with the data object via selection of the custom action by a second entity.

  • Patent number: 10970336
    Abstract: For a database accessible by a plurality of separate organizations, a system is provided for predicting entities for database query results. The system includes a multi-layer neural network. The system is configured to receive a query encoding for one or more previous queries made into the database, a user entity view frequency encoding for a frequency of views by one or more users, and an organization encoding for one or more separate organizations accessing the database; and based on the query encoding, the user entity view frequency encoding, and the organization encoding, generate a neural model for predicting entities for results to a present query into the database. In some embodiments, the neural model is global across the separate organizations accessing the database.

  • Patent number: 10970135
    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, systems, and methods are described for creating and managing an abstract, API-based infrastructure base model. The API-based model can abstract infrastructure assets, such as infrastructure components or connections between components, into a metadata model using standardized syntax and interfaces, for defining and building an infrastructure. Using a modeling document, connections and components of an infrastructure can be abstracted into an API-based model having semantics that covers them all. Connections and infrastructure components can be made available for selection, arrangement, and grouping to build complex infrastructure models without requiring complex API coding by the user. Other infrastructure models having different API definitions can be by abstracted to standardize the assets for building new APIs. The APIs can be further modified and exported to another or the same implementation project.

  • Publication number: 20210096825
    Abstract: Resolving a dynamic request from a local web component rendered on a development server executing on a user client device. A cache is located in the user client device and is accessible to the development server. The development server receives a first request for information from the local web component via a web browser, intercepts the first request at a proxy override module and transmits the first request to a cloud computing service provider's server. The development server receives a response from the cloud computing service provider's server in reply to the first request, transmits the response from the development server to the local web component, stores in the cache the response received at the development server from the cloud computing service provider's server in reply to the first request for information.

  • Patent number: 10963538
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to providing a web application capable of executing within a particular web browser or a client application native to a client platform. The particular web browser and the client platform support differing sets of features. A server computer system hosts the web application for distributing to instances of the client application. The server computer system receives, from a particular instance of the client application that is executing on a client device that implements the client platform, a request for the web application. The server computer system sends the web application to the particular instance to cause the web application to be executed within the particular instance. Such execution of the web application permits the web application to use at least one feature not supported by the particular web browser.

  • Patent number: 10963370
    Abstract: A system may include a mocking server and one or more tenants served by the mocking server. A tenant may test an application programming interface (API) using a mocking service. For example, the mocking server may run a mock implementation of an API based on an API specification, and the server may expose an endpoint of the mock implementation for API testing. In some cases, the API specification may use an additional service. The mocking server may need an implementation for this additional service in order to test the API. For improved efficiency and reliability of the mocking service, the mocking server may store pre-configured mock implementations for various service or complementary APIs, which can be publicly accessed and shared across multiple different tenants. The pre-configured mock implementations may enable a user to test an API without providing a mock implementation for each additional service indicated in the API specification.

  • Patent number: 10962377
    Abstract: A method involves utilizing a geo-locator service and zone servers to reduce server resource requirements for determining high quality solutions to routing problems. The use of a geo-locator service and zone servers enables the use of servers having less memory which can handle determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a smaller geographic area even if they are incapable of handling determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a larger geographic area, and enables efficient assignment of requests to an appropriate server without unduly burdening high value servers having sufficient memory to handle determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a very large geographic area with determination of high quality solutions to routing problems involving locations spanning a smaller geographic area.
