  • Patent number: 12293183
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for client side enrichment and transform via dynamic logic for analytics across various platforms for improved performance, features, and uses. Analytics data collected in client applications is transformed and enriched before being sent to the downstream pipeline using native code and logic bundled into the core application code. The additional logic specific to manipulation of analytics may be unbundled from client-side application code and still be executed on on-device to achieve the same result. The logic may be written in a single language, such as JavaScript, and run across all clients including web browser and mobile operating systems.

  • Patent number: 12287778
    Abstract: Described herein is a presence service for a cloud-based contact center platform that is designed to facilitate communications between customers and agents over a variety of communication channels. The presence service is designed with a two-layer architecture. A first layer uses a highly scalable, low latency memory cache to store a high volume of message-related data for tracking the temporal connectivity status of agents. When a connection status change is detected for an agent, the first layer publishes an event message to a queue of a distributed streaming message service. The second layer receives and processes the message to update the online/offline status of the agent in a system of record.

  • Patent number: 12287882
    Abstract: In one aspect, a distributed security-testing infrastructure is used for attack-tree modeling for penetration testing. An API framework, fully distributed and scalable, is used to access the attack-tree modeling based on attack trees, or decision trees, to emulate attacker behavior and decisions taken during an attack. The API framework allows developers to implement the security tools into existing software to perform actions based on desired conditions as defined by the nodes of the attack tree. For example, APIs can be used along with if/else-type statements to create advanced threat models that react based on given conditions to test multiple paths through the attack tree. Nodes of the attack tree are configured to perform actions based on the output of previous attacks in other nodes. This flexible design allows for the easy modification of the threat modeling system to test new scenarios.

  • Patent number: 12288061
    Abstract: Described are system and method embodiments for live application instrumentation and event tracking. User interaction history is recorded on-device in a buffer to create a dataset of signals. The buffer of signals is then passed through various filter functions to qualify them as valuable data points or events for the application developers. Once qualified, events are passed onto an analytics system for further processing. Filter functions may be written in a single language, e.g., JavaScript, and deployed across multiple target platforms including web browsers and native mobile applications. The deployment of filter functions may be done over-the-air in real-time such that application developers do not have to rebuild and publish their applications.

  • Patent number: 12288096
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are directed to the implementation of configurable hierarchical schedulers with multiple levels, where each level may use one of several types of queueing mechanisms. A configurable, hierarchical scheduler is designed to handle large scale processing of requests (e.g., transmitting outgoing messages). The hierarchical scheduler distributes the loads to different queues handling different types of messages (e.g., by user ID, by Internet Address (IP), by schedule). The different layers of the hierarchical scheduler are configurable to queue and schedule traffic based on many factors, such as IP address, handling reputation, available downstream bandwidth, fairness, concurrency rates to handle multiple constraints, scheduling per client, time of delivery constrains, rate limits per user, domain scheduling per user, concurrency throttling per outbound channel, and sharing global rate limits across service processors.
