  • Patent number: 11700255
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a feedback framework that receives feedback for a component of an information technology platform. The component includes the feedback framework, the information technology platform, a software application, a web browser, a client device, a client instance, or a virtual server. The feedback framework obtains context information associated with the feedback. The context information includes a system log, a screenshot, a web address of a web browser of the client device, version information, and/or the like. The feedback framework also determines an identity of the component by executing a handler. The feedback framework then determines a notification to send based on the identity of the component, and sends the notification with the feedback and the context information.

  • Patent number: 11698802
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates techniques for coordinating and synchronizing client-facing support services with the activities and responses from one or more technical teams assigned to address a client issue. In certain implementations, this may allow an agent or customer approach to use a single reference identifier (such as a case or matter number) to access information or updates from technical teams that do not typically employ such a number for their own tracking purposes. In this manner, relevant information to a client issue may be accessed from all involved technical teams at the agent level as well as allowing the technical teams themselves to readily see activity by other teams.

  • Patent number: 11698911
    Abstract: A processor may receive a request with a column-oriented operation. The query request may be related to updates to a row-oriented database based on the query request previously performed on the row-oriented database. The processor may determine the amount of time for replicating the updates to a column-oriented database. If the amount of time for replicating the updates to the column-oriented database is greater than a threshold amount of time, then the processor may create a transient file with the updates. The transient file may be in a format that is recognized by the column-oriented database. The processor may query the column-oriented database based on the query request and the transient file.

  • Patent number: 11694027
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve a software application executable on computing devices of a remote network management platform containing a computational instance associated with a managed network. A text string may be received, and characters of the string may be categorized among a plurality of symbol script families. A respective likelihood of the string corresponding to each family may be determined, and a respective probability of the string being in each language of each given family may also be determined. The respective probabilities for the languages of each given family may be weighted by the likelihoods of the given family, and then weighted sums of the probabilities for each language may be computed. The maximum of the weighted sums may correspond to the language of the text string. The respective probabilities may be determined according to hybrid N-gram and word language models for each family.

  • Patent number: 11693847
    Abstract: Visualizations are automatically generated based at least on a received identifier that identifies a report. One or more data sets and one or more style configurations are retrieved from a shared visualization library via a backend API based on the received identifier and passed to a router component. The router component includes a switch that renders a score component, which generates a score visualization, if the retrieved data sets include score data. If the data sets include time series data, or the score visualization also includes a time series graph, the router component renders a time series component that passes the data sets and the style configurations to a parser that parses the data sets and the style configurations and outputs one or more highcharts options objects. A highcharts component generates the time series visualizations and/or adds the time series graph to the score visualization based on the highcharts options objects.

  • Patent number: 11693930
    Abstract: A computational instance of a remote network management platform may execute a remote access call for a license consolidation server. The remote access call may contain instructions for obtaining concurrent license usage statistics from the license consolidation server. In response to obtaining the concurrent license usage statistics, the computational instance may update a software configuration with the concurrent license usage statistics, where the software configuration contains a license rights allocation for the concurrent software application. Based on the concurrent license usage statistics and the license rights allocations, the computational instance may generate a representation of a graphical user interface that contains an overview pane indicating a utilization of the concurrent software application. Then the computational instance may transmit, to a client device, the representation of the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11695641
    Abstract: A mock server implementation for discovery applications is provided. A computing system includes a mock server, which receives a client request from a mock client on a discovery server. The client request corresponds to a user query associated with a discovery of resources on a remote computing system. The mock server determines a first response from a mock response dataset. The first response to the client request is determined based on the received client request. The mock response dataset includes a set of responses associated with a sequence of operations executed in the past for the discovery of resources on the remote computing system. The mock server transmits the determined first response to the mock client on the discovery server. The mock client receives the transmitted first response and sends the received first response to a discovery application interface on a user device.

  • Patent number: 11681877
    Abstract: An agent automation system implements a virtual agent that is capable of learning new words, or new meanings for known words, based on exchanges between the virtual agent and a user in order to customize the vocabulary of the virtual agent to the needs of the user or users. The agent automation framework has access to a corpus of previous exchanges between the virtual agent and the user, such as one or more chat logs. New words and/or new meanings for known words are identified within the corpus and new word vectors are generated for these new words and/or new meanings for known words and added to refine a word vector distribution model. The refined word vector distribution model is then utilized by the agent automation system to interact with the user.

  • Patent number: 11669599
    Abstract: In accordance with the present approach, an edition-managing software application may be provided to query registries of client devices for edition information associated with a target software package. When retrieved, the edition information may then be stored in a universal storage location from which the edition-managing software application may generate an edition report that provides an accurate representation of actual installations of each edition of the target software package on the client devices. Further, in accordance with the present approach, a usage-tracking software program may be provided to retrieve a last used date of a target software package on client devices. If the last used date is beyond a threshold time period for the client devices, the enterprise may determine that the target software package is underutilized compared to a desired usage. Then, the target software package may be uninstalled from the client devices and installed on other client devices.
