  • Patent number: 10660059
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include an efficient method for identifying receiving devices with similar attributes and displaying their respective locations to each other using data packets receiving from transmission associated with beacons. The system can receive unique beacon identifiers from a first receiving device, determine its location, receive a request for a match comprising a set of attributes, query a database and identify a second user associated with a second receiving device based on the received set of attributes, determine a location for the second receiving device, and generate/transmit a graphical user interface to the first receiving device informing the first user about the location of the second user.

  • Patent number: 10659596
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for controlling content and/or sound provided to a user including generating content data configured for presentation on a display, transmitting the content data to one of the display, a speaker, or both, collecting behavior data of the user sensed by the tracking sensor, and determining whether behavior data represents a value that satisfies a threshold value. When the value satisfies the threshold value, generating, by the processing module of the device, a change in the content data presented on at least one of the display, the speaker, or both, and when the value does not satisfy the threshold value, presenting, by the processing module, the same content data on at least one of least one of the display, the speaker, or both.

  • Patent number: 10614489
    Abstract: Unlike conventional systems, an engagement platform is able to provide information to the user, give insight as to why the product was recommended, and distinguish their own product from the products of other providers. As a result, the user is able to gain transparency into a process that conventionally does not represent why a user is being targeted with a particular product or which product is associated with the recommendation engine. Instead, conventional user interfaces merely present the information in manner without showing information about the reason for the generation of that message or prompt and without any visible indicators of which products are sold by the host of that interface versus other competitors.

  • Patent number: 10582060
    Abstract: A system herein provides automated call-back of customers who have terminated an inbound call by exercising a call-back option of an interactive voice response unit or by abandoning the inbound call, using predictive modeling of caller value to prioritize call-backs. The call management system monitors the inbound customer call and detects any termination of the customer call. A call-back module opens a call-back record for the terminated customer call and associates that call-back record with an identified customer. The call-back module retrieves customer demographic data and other data associated with the identified customer. A predictive module determines a value prediction signal for the identified customer by modeling purchase and lapse behaviors and classifies each identified customer for either priority call-back or subordinate call-back treatment.

  • Patent number: 10561231
    Abstract: A grout cleaning hand tool includes a grout cleaning head assembly with a removable brush subassembly. An elongate handle extends upwardly from the grout cleaning head assembly and is held by an operator in a standing posture. The elongate handle includes a handle rod held by a first hand of the operator, and an auxiliary T-grip handle held by a second hand of the operator. The brush subassembly includes a long narrow bundle of bristles secured to a base, slidably mounted to a channel of the grout cleaning head assembly. The handle rod and the T-grip handle provide ergonomic positions for the operator to exert downward compression forces on the grout cleaning head assembly to facilitate cleaning grout lines in tiled floors. The brush subassembly may include a brush handle for detail-work grout cleaning while holding the brush subassembly close to the floor when removed from the head assembly.
