  • Patent number: 11132725
    Abstract: Verified electronic products are created and distributed by an electronic platform, which includes a client interface, a creator interface, a decider interface, and a backer interface. An unverified product associated with a creator entity is received through the creator interface, where the unverified product comprises an electronic product having a set of clauses. A decider entity and backer entity are associated with the unverified product, which is converted to a verified product. The verified product is then added to a search engine associated with other previously verified products to define a collection of searchable verified products. Client information is obtained through the client interface and is used to identify a verified product from the collection of searchable verified products via the search engine. Based on the identified verified product, and instrument is built and is communicated to the client entity via the client interface for acceptance by the client entity.

  • Patent number: 11106706
    Abstract: A geospatial query and navigation process receives a user selection of a geographical region of interest, and retrieves an identification of assets within a portfolio dataset. The process also generates an exposure rank, and associates for each retrieved identification of an asset, an indicium where the associated indicium is related to the exposure rank. The process generates for display in a graphical user interface, data representing a geospatial relationship of the assets, where each asset is distinguished based upon the associated indicium and receives a user-selection of a displayed asset by detecting that the user has selected the indicium of the associated asset. The process displays an image view of the selected asset, and displays within the graphical user interface, a set of fields of information that characterize the asset.

  • Patent number: 11095675
    Abstract: The invention relates to detecting vulnerabilities in technology infrastructure environments. Data describing vulnerabilities detected in a technological environment of an enterprise is obtained. The vulnerability data is combined with data relating to servers, applications associated with the servers, and business functions associated with the applications, within the technological environment of the enterprise in order to create enriched data. The enriched data is enhanced using one or more of the following proceses: deduplicating records in the enriched data; modifying of a severity assigned to vulnerabilities based on one or more enterprise-infrastructure factors; archiving and purging of records included in the enriched data; consolidating IP addresses associated with the vulnerabilities; excepting records in the enriched data for vulnerabilities undergoing active remediation; and validating the enriched data. After the enriched data is enhanced, it may be sorted in accordance with one or more filters.

  • Patent number: 11029806
    Abstract: A graphical user interface generates a control pane and a diagram pane. The control pane graphically depicts control objects that are each associated with a different viewpoint of digital products. The diagram pane displays graphical representations based upon a user-selected control object in the control pane. In use, a hierarchical view of digital products is presented in the diagram pane. A user can select a digital product from the hierarchical view, and then graphically navigate the digital product, whereby the graphical user interface presents aspects of the digital product, represented as nodes and interconnecting lines in different views defined by the viewpoint associated with user-selected control objects available in the control pane.

  • Patent number: 10963604
    Abstract: Model metadata for each of a plurality of mathematical models is stored. Data describing two sets of models is received. Each of the sets identifies one or more models of the plurality of mathematical models. One of the sets comprises a transition-from set and one of the sets comprises a transition-to set. Data describing a launch date for commencing a transition from executing the model(s) in the transition-from set to executing the model(s) in the transition-to set is received. Data describing a transition period of time for the transition is received. The models in the transition-from set and in the transition-to set are executed during the transition period of time. An output of the execution of the model(s) in the transition-from set is combined with an output of the execution of the model(s) in the transition-to set. The output is stored in a database.

  • Patent number: 10817265
    Abstract: A process for developing a chatbot object file includes generating an object file that includes platform agnostic logic and is free of platform specific executable code. The object file is generated from a chatbot flow that is created by a developer through a drag-and-drop interface by linking the user-created chatbot flow to at least one library of common chatbot code elements. Further, a process for deploying a chatbot comprises executing a platform that maps agnostic logic to specific commands of the platform and receiving an object file for a chatbot, where the object file includes logic agnostic to the platform. Further, the process comprises initializing a chatbot instance on the platform based on the received object file and the platform by mapping the agnostic logic of the object file to the specific commands of the platform and associating an interface to a user interface associated with the chatbot instance.

  • Patent number: 10740990
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting and evaluating data associated with operation of a vehicle. Vehicle trajectory data associated with operation of a vehicle is received from a device configured to collect the vehicle trajectory data. The vehicle trajectory data comprises time-marked and location-marked speed data. The vehicle trajectory data is segmented into one or more segments. Each of the one or more segments represents a pattern of driver behavior. Event data is retrieved from one or more databases. The event data corresponds to a time associated with the time marking of the vehicle trajectory data and a location associated with the location marking of the vehicle trajectory data. The segments are correlated with the event data using the time and the location. The correlations are analyzed. Based on the analysis, associations between the vehicle trajectory data and the event data are determined. The associations represent a causal relationship between the segments and the event data.

  • Patent number: 10742528
    Abstract: Each of multiple vehicle data collection devices are configured to collect data streams associated with operation of a vehicle. The data streams include time-stamped speed data. A transmitter is configured to transmit the data streams. An analytics server is configured to receive the data streams transmitted by the transmitter and to process the data. In connection with the processing, data streams with at least one common time stamp are identified. The time-stamped speed for one of the data streams at a first time interval is compared to the time-stamped speed for another of the identified plurality of data streams at a second time interval, where the second time interval comprises the first time interval plus an additional time increment. Based on the comparison, it is determined whether the two of the plurality of data streams are associated with a same trip or a different trip.
