  • Patent number: 10244113
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for determining customer service quality through digitized voice characteristic measurement and filtering. A voice analysis module captures a first digitized voice segment corresponding to speech submitted by a user of a remote device. The voice analysis module extracts a first set of voice features from the first voice segment, and determines an emotion level of the user based upon the first set of voice features. The voice analysis module captures a second digitized voice segment corresponding to speech submitted by the user. The voice analysis module extracts a second set of voice features from the second voice segment, and determines a change in the emotion level of the user by comparing the first set of voice features to the second set of voice features. The module normalizes the change in the emotion level of the user using emotion influence factors, and generates a service score.

  • Patent number: 10244286
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for recommending digital content in a network environment. A web server determines a session context of a user associated with a remote device in which the user interacted with digital content objects. The web server identifies prior content interactions in which prior users interacted with digital content objects. The web server builds a recommendation feature vector from the session context and the prior content interactions. The web server trains a machine learning model using the generated recommendation feature vector to minimize a predicted rating. The web server selects target digital content objects that have a predicted rating of the user that is at a threshold. The web server provides indicia of the selected digital content objects to the remote device. The web server causes at least one of the selected target digital content objects to be transmitted from a content server to the remote device.

  • Patent number: 10157421
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for securely analyzing transaction data of a user. A server computing device establishes a secure connection with a client device, which transmits transaction data to the server. The server establishes a hierarchy of nodes to profile a user's purchase history. The hierarchy includes a plurality of article nodes and category nodes. The server creates a new article node instance corresponding to the transaction data, the new article node storing descriptive properties of at least one item purchased by the user determined from the transaction data. The server links the new article node instance to at least one of the category nodes by classifying the descriptive properties of the item purchased with respect to relationships defined by the hierarchy. The server generates and transmits an event trigger to remind the user of a follow-up action and authenticates the client before the trigger is delivered.

  • Patent number: 10089480
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for enterprise access control governance in a computerized information technology (IT) architecture. A server generates a first vector space, each node in the first space representing a user of resources in the IT architecture and including attributes of the user. The server generates a second vector space, each node in the second space representing an entitlement to access resources in the IT architecture and including attributes of the entitlement. The server creates an entitlement utility matrix by mapping nodes in the first space to nodes in the second space. The server determines a set of recommended entitlements for a plurality of users based upon the utility matrix. The server determines a discrepancy between the set of recommended entitlements for a first user and a set of existing entitlements for the first user and adjusts the set of existing entitlements based upon the discrepancy.

  • Patent number: 10061578
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for configuring a data store for tracking and auditing real time events associated with an end-to-end development lifecycle of a software product across different types of software development tools in Agile development environments. The data store stores vast numbers of records containing metadata that describe different types of real time events using different types of tools. Each record includes a set of defined fields that enable the records to be linked across the various tools and events throughout the end-to-end development lifecycle of a software product. Where the event is a compilation event detected in a compiler, the event metadata defining the compilation event is embedded in the compiled code as text for tracking of the development process even after the product is compiled into a binary form.

  • Patent number: 10063542
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for authenticating an identity of a user requesting execution of a computerized transaction via a first client computing device. The first device and a second client computing device in proximity each execute applications for communicating with a server. The first and second devices contemporaneously capture voice sequences including at least one audible sound vocalized by the user, and a timestamp indicating when the sound is captured. The identity of the user is validated based upon a determination that the user vocalized the pass phrase, and a difference between the first timestamp and the second timestamp is below a predetermined threshold. The first device executes a computerized transaction with the server computing device upon receiving validation of the identity of the user.

  • Patent number: 10037364
    Abstract: The User Interface Portlet Data Cascade Actuator Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“UIPDCA”) transforms database data sets, user interface widget data selections inputs via UIPDCA components into cascading UI subsequent views data selections and channel outputs. In one embodiment, the UIPDCA may include a data cascade user interface view apparatus. The UIPDCA's processor issues instructions from a UI view component to generate and broadcast a first event message that specifies a data source parameter associated with a user selection and the channel associated with the UI view component. The UIPDCA's processor issues instructions from a subsequent UI view component to update UI widget elements based on result of executing a query modified using parameters specified in the first event message, and to generate and broadcast a second event message that specifies a data source parameter associated with a default selection and the channel associated with the subsequent UI view component.

  • Patent number: 10032168
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for secure validation of financial transactions. A server computing device registers a mobile device to receive notification messages from the server computing device. The server computing device transmits a notification message via a first communication channel to a notification agent executing on the registered mobile device, where the message identifies activity associated with a financial account of a user of the registered mobile device. The server computing device receives a response to the notification message via a second communication channel from an application executing on the registered mobile device, if the notification message requires a response. The server computing device stores the response in a database coupled to the server computing device, and determines whether to (i) allow, (ii) deny, or (iii) deny and report as fraud the identified activity based upon the response.

  • Patent number: 10015231
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for establishing select routing of proprietary digital content. A server computing device prepares a package of digital content, where the digital content includes proprietary content and non-proprietary content. The server segregates the package of digital content into proprietary content and non-proprietary content, and assigns a content identifier to each item of proprietary content. The server transmits the proprietary content to a computing device of a digital content management service. The server receives a notification of acceptance of the proprietary content from the computing device of the digital content management service and a notification of acceptance of the non-proprietary content from a second remote computing device. The server presents an accepted package of digital content on the first remote computing device, where the accepted package comprises accepted proprietary content and accepted non-proprietary content.
