Patent number: 11243843Abstract: A method and system for optimizing backup and backup discovery operations using change based metadata tracking (CBMT). Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail eliminating the storage and subsequent transmission of redundant asset metadata information to a central coordination point during backup discovery operations, which may strain central coordination point resources, as well as client device resources. Accordingly, rather than re-sharing the same asset metadata information every time a backup discovery initiates, the client device tracks, maintains, and transmits only changes in asset metadata, thereby conserving resource utilization.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Amarendra Behera, Tushar B.

Patent number: 11182863Abstract: An online system generates content feature entries, with each content feature entry describing a content item from a third party system. The online system generates user feature entries, each user feature entry describing a user. The online system generates a combination score for a target user and a selected content item by computing a combination of the content feature entries associated with the selected content item and the user feature entries associated with the target user using a combining function. The combination score indicates an estimated increase in value for the third party system when the target user is presented with the selected content item. The online system selects content items to transmit to a client device of a target user of the online system for presentation to the target user based on the combination score for the content items and the target user.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Donald Yates, Kurt Dodge Runke, Gunjit Singh

Patent number: 11157872Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to streamline the mechanism by which data users access differently regulated data through the use of one or more integrated identifiers. The integrated identifiers lessen or eliminate the need to separately maintain one set of identifiers for regulated data and another set for non-regulated data. The methods and systems may be applicable in various credit and healthcare contexts where regulations over data use are prevalent. In one or more embodiments, a data user receives a unique integrated identifier for each of the data user's current or prospective customers, and the integrated identifiers can be used to persistently identify and track the customers over time and across applications that access regulated and/or non-regulated data. In the healthcare context, a healthcare provider may utilize a patient ID as the integrated identifier. To protect privacy, the integrated identifier may not include social security numbers or birthdates.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Experian Marketing Solutions, LLCInventors: Helen McMillan, John Lawrence Skurtovich, Anita Kress, Timothy Sumida, Michael Charles McVey
