  • Patent number: 11972448
    Abstract: The present invention supports the entry of customer experience feedback into the system, which then conducts real-time automated filtering and evaluation of feedback entered by the customer and supports the transmission of real-time notifications to selected personnel based on feedback evaluation in a flexible messaging and workflow system. The present invention supports that ability to obtain constructive feedback, either good or bad, regarding a customer's experience while the customer is still at the service provider or retail sales location. And, if the experience is negative, the invention provides automated evaluation and filtering of the feedback information with real-time notifications to selected personnel so the customer's concerns can be addressed immediately so as to rectify the negative experience with personal attention to the consumer, and preserve the client relationship for the future before the customer departs from the service provider or retail sales location.

  • Patent number: 11599964
    Abstract: A method and system for filtering service requests by destination and deadline are described. A network computer system receives provider data corresponding to a specified destination and a deadline from a service provider. The network computer system tracks a current location of the service provider through a device equipped with one or more location-based resources and receives request data corresponding to requests for service from users. The network computer system analyzes the request data for each of the requests for service to identify a subset of the requests that are assignable to the service provider based on whether the service provider is able to fulfill the request and travel to the desired destination before the deadline. The network computer system transmits a message to the service provider's device requesting that the service provider fulfill one of the requests for service from the identified subset.

  • Patent number: 11593739
    Abstract: Regardless of the production method applied, it is possible for a user to estimate a factor that causes trouble in one of the resources belonging to a resource type. A supporting system refers to management information indicating a production past record of the production system, and displays an overlay chart in which a diagram chart is relatively superimposed on a Gantt chart. The Gantt chart is a chart for a first resource type and has a resource axis and a time axis. The diagram chart is for a second resource type. In the overlay chart, a polygonal line connecting a plurality of points corresponding to a second resource, belonging to the second resource type, is on the Gantt chart, and each point is plotted at a position corresponding to an execution time of a step and a first resource, belonging to the first resource type, related to the step.

  • Patent number: 11361332
    Abstract: A method and system for continual audience synchronization receives user input corresponding to criteria to create a targeted list of people. The system receives user input corresponding to a request to synchronize the targeted list of people with a corresponding audience on each of a number of content delivery networks. The system processes updates to add or remove entries from the targeted list of people based on the one or more criteria. In response to processing the updates, the system accesses each of the content delivery networks, through appropriate application programming interfaces, to update each corresponding audience. When a visitor who matches an entry in the corresponding audience accesses a webpage associated with one of the content delivery networks, the content delivery network selects content associated with the corresponding audience to be presented to the visitor and presents the selected content to the visitor as part of the webpage.

  • Patent number: 11188929
    Abstract: According to various aspects of the subject technology, systems and methods for identifying whether for a period of time, the weather is a cause for the consumption cost for a user exceeding a threshold cost. The determination can be made by comparing the received weather sensor data for the period of time to baseline weather data. If the weather is identified to be a cause for consumption cost for the user exceeding a threshold cost for the period of time, then a notification can be generated. The notification can indicate that the consumption cost for the user exceeds the threshold cost for the period of time and that weather is a reason for the consumption cost for the user exceeding the threshold costs. As such, the notification can warn the user that a high bill should be expected, thereby reducing bill shock and ensuing call center calls.
