Patent number: 12354041Abstract: A method and system to generate a stage overview which is comprised of stages corresponding to buckets containing information records grouped based on a predefined criteria. The stages of the stage overview can be designed based on various criteria, e.g., deal/record value, calendar period, sales funnel stages, and the stages are formed as configured by the user. The stage overview provides an overall visualization of the number of deals or records and cumulative amount in each bucket. The stage overview enables the user to navigate from one bucket to any other stage or a bucket, easily and quickly. The buckets are created and maintained according to the stages and vice versa. A bucket is a collection of information records, deals, or the like. Records that fall under the same stage can be grouped and listed out together under one bucket.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: July 8, 2025Assignee: Zoho Corporation Private LimitedInventors: Subash Subbiah, Arun Ray Raymond, Guhan Ashok Kumar, Raghavan Balchand

Patent number: 12299616Abstract: A worksite controller can manage machines, including a first machine configured to perform a first task and a second machine configured to perform a second task that follows the first task. The worksite controller can predict a time that the first machine will complete the first task at a work area. The worksite controller can also predict a time the second machine would arrive at the work area to perform the second task. Based on a comparison of the time the second machine would arrive at the work area and the predicted first task completion time, the worksite controller can instruct the second machine to enter or exit a low-power state. For example, if the second machine would arrive at the work area earlier than the predicted first task completion time, the worksite controller can instruct the second machine to avoid idling while waiting by entering the low-power state.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2022Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: Caterpillar Paving Products Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel S Doy, Gautham Subramanian

Patent number: 12254519Abstract: A specialized service engine receives data from an entity located in one domain about transactions performed by the entity with other entities from another domain. The service engine determines if the entity must follow the rules regarding selected resources in the other domain. The service engine then determines which of the rules established by the other domain the entity must follow. The service engine then determines and communicates to another computer of the entity the burden of complying with the rules of the other domain. The service engine then further computes the cost of the burden, and communicates the computed cost to the other computer.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Avalara, Inc.Inventors: Stefan Kim, Nikki Nash

Patent number: 12248952Abstract: Multidimensional data analysis applications, including OLAP applications, simultaneously aggregate across many sets of dimensions. However, computing multidimensional aggregates is a performance bottleneck for OLAP data analysis applications. In order to improve the speed of interactive analysis, OLAP databases often precompute aggregates at various levels of detail and on various combinations of data attributes. However, the cost and speed of precomputation influences how frequently the aggregates can be brought up-to-date. Systems and methods disclosed herein provide graph based multidimensional analysis processing without pre-aggregating or precomputing the data along dimensional hierarchies, and by providing the results to the end user on-demand. Since preaggregation or precomputation of data along dimensional hierarchies is not necessary, implementations allow the end user to perform data analysis as soon as the data is available.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jiashen Fang, Joakim Klas Gunnar Fagerstedt Cedin, Kirk Brunson, Ryan Griffin, Cavan Spillane Stone
