  • Patent number: 10972551
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for building a stateless connector to a stateful backend system. The stateless connector allows developers to deploy mobile applications that interact with the stateful backend system without refurbishing the backend system to accommodate stateless design methodologies and access functions. The stateless connector thus provides a bridge between a stateless application and a stateful backend system without requiring any risky and potentially disruptive updates the backend system. The stateless connector may be generated and deployed automatically based on a recording of user interactions with stateful application server. This saves an enormous amount of time and effort in the application development process and allows application developers to focus their time and efforts on the presentation components and business logic of the mobile application.

  • Patent number: 10970848
    Abstract: A method clusters each character on a document into one of a plurality of clusters based on widths of at least a portion of the characters on the document and measures distances between characters on the document. A threshold for each of the plurality of clusters is calculated based on at least a portion of the distances between characters in each cluster. The method then segments characters into units using the thresholds for the plurality of clusters. A distance between two characters in the document is compared to a threshold for a cluster to classify the two characters as being part of a unit when the distance is less than the threshold and not being part of the unit when the distance is greater than the threshold. Then, the method performs a recognition process on the document using the units.

  • Patent number: 10970308
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for decentralized image management are described herein. The method includes generating, distributing, and retrieving images on peer-to-peer network. Request for generating an image is received. Multiple components/layers of a to-be-generated image is identified. A layer is stored as a file. Files corresponding to the layers are packaged as an image file representing the image. The packaged image file and/or files of respective layers are distributed across the network, e.g., across a plurality of available nodes upon receiving a distribution command/request. When a request for retrieving the image is received, the nodes storing the multiple layers of the image are identified. The layers are retrieved from the identified multiple nodes. Using the retrieved multiple layers, the image is recreated/generated.

  • Patent number: 10970097
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method can receive a request from a robotic process automation engine to identify a target user interface control element in a webpage represented by a current master data frame. The current master data frame comprises a current document object model (DOM). The method can determine that a target user interface control element identifier associated with the target user interface control element is absent in the current DOM. The method can retrieve an archived version of the target user interface control element from an archived master data frame of the webpage. The method can find an equivalent user interface control element within the current master data frame based at least on the archived version of the target user interface control element, and output an equivalent user interface control element identifier associated with the equivalent user interface control element.

  • Patent number: 10970281
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that receives a query for records in a table having a value in a column of the table that is included in a set of values. The program further iterates though a hierarchical tree structure in order to identify a set of leaf nodes of the hierarchical tree structure based on the set of values. Each leaf node in the hierarchical tree structure includes data describing a superset of values in the column of the block of records associated with the leaf node. Each non-leaf node includes data describing a superset of the values described by the data in child nodes of the non-leaf node. The program also processes the query on a set of block of records in the table associated with the set of leaf nodes. The program further generates results for the query based on the processing.
