  • Patent number: 12614198
    Abstract: Groups of patrons may be discovered by measuring website and mobile site patron clickstream data in a mathematical and unsupervised way over a predetermined time and by graphically clustering the patron clickstream data using non-linear dimensionality reduction in the form of a Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection algorithm (UMAP). The data from the UMAP may then be feed into a Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm (DBSCAN) in order to identify a center of each cluster. Next, using the data from the UMAP and the center of each cluster from the DBSCAN, a K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm (KNN) may be applied to identify data points closest to the center of each cluster and to shade each of the data points to graphically identify each cluster of the plurality of clusters. Next, illustrate a graph on the display representative of the data points shaded following application of the KNN.

  • Patent number: 12354041
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12299616
    Abstract: 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.

The device may determine predicted rate(s) of change of the KPI(s) based on a comparison of the current and predicted value(s). The device may assign severity level(s) corresponding to the KPI(s) based on the predicted rate(s) of change. The device may determine a service level impact based on the predicted value(s). The device may determine a performance degradation score based on the severity level(s) and the service level impact. The device may determine and automatically apply a strategy based on the performance degradation score.
