  • Patent number: 10445354
    Abstract: Text input data may be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data for electronic records. A semantic event may be automatically detected, triggered by a semantic rule and associated semantic tag.

  • Patent number: 10424222
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processor-executable methods, computing systems, and related technologies for using a host server and service virtualization to mimic functions of a live enterprise service in order to provide a stable training environment for users of a data management system. Embodiments may include retrieving live data from the enterprise service. The live data may then be converted to virtualized data by deidentifying personal information, simplifying complex fields, and adjusting date fields, such that the virtualized data is an accurate representation of the live data formatting and is optimized for training purposes. The virtualized data may be processed using one or more virtualized resources on the host server, wherein the virtualized resources may correspond to functions of the enterprise service. A virtualized response may be generated in response to a user request to the host server.
