  • Patent number: 12267395
    Abstract: A system allowing user/system interaction sessions on voice-enabled computing devices (VECDs) to be shifted from a voice-based interface to a non-voice-based (such as a text/web-based) interface. Accordingly, easy and convenient data input, receipt and recognition is provided in a manner that is not likely to frustrate users, that accommodates a broad range of data needs, and/or that avoids confidentiality issues associated with the use of voice input and data security issues associated with the storage of medical/health or other sensitive data. The system recognizes a platform-shifting command via a voice-based interface, gathers any required information (such as a telephone number or e-mail address) for continuing the communications session on another platform, and then sends a text/email/other message including a URL/hyperlink usable to initiate a communications session on a different communications platform and continue a voice-based interaction session on a non-voice-based communications platform.

  • Patent number: 12267400
    Abstract: A central database system provides predictive web navigation using machine learning and clustering to guide a user to a web page. After tracking a number of web pages viewed by various users on one or more web domains and the orders in which these web pages are viewed, the central database system can train a model to predict which web page a user is likely to view next. If the user is lost while navigating, the central database system may guide the user to the predicted web page. In one example of guidance, the central database system presents a web element with a hyperlink to the predicted web page. For example, the central database system can modify a web page that the lost user is presently viewing to include an iframe with a recommendation to travel to a different web page.

  • Patent number: 12261755
    Abstract: In conventional networked computing systems, stream-processing software is utilized to handle real-time data feeds. For example, a stream-processing software may sort incoming data feeds into data logs, which are then consumed by various application servers within the computing system. However, this consumption process is susceptible to failure as application servers often fail to consume a full payload of data comprising a particular message. As such, a need exists for a streaming architecture with improved fault tolerance. The system provided herein solves the problem via a reliable streaming process, which regularly generates partitions within a series of data lakes. As streaming data is received, the payloads are synced into the different data lakes based on metadata associated with the streaming data. The system can then perform individual quality checks on each partition of data, enabling the system to continuously monitor data quality over time.

  • Patent number: 12244502
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for controlling message routing for transaction processing platforms. The routing of transaction messages mitigates service disruptions to client systems facilitating transactions with consumers. A connection management and transaction routing platform (CMTRP) system applies routing configurations, such as passthrough, throttling, and/or maintenance toggle configurations, to facilitate the routing of transaction messages. This routing may route message to different transaction processing platforms and/or different instances of transaction processing platforms. The CMTRP system also routes transaction messages when transaction processing functionality is being migrated from a first transaction processing platform to a second transaction processing platform and/or when a platform is undergoing maintenance.

  • Patent number: 12224945
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to enhance network packet processing functionality through an accelerated packet classifier algorithm. Network packet classifiers serve to evaluate characteristics of network packets against various rules to determine how to process the network packet (e.g., routing, rewriting data). In contrast to existing systems, the present techniques pack a plurality of rules into a rule set which can then be applied to a network packet as a cohesive unit. By leveraging characteristics of binary arithmetic, the network packet classifier can evaluate the network packet against multiple rules in parallel. For example, the network packet classifier can concurrently compare values encoded by the network packet against a plurality of target ranges defined by the rules. This enables the network packet classifier to complete a full rule set evaluation within a single pass of the network packet thereby improving computing efficiency.

  • Patent number: 12212496
    Abstract: A fast-path node of a packet processing service receives a packet of a forward-direction flow. The node obtains an exception-path routing rule from an exception-path routing rule source. The node sends a query to an exception-path cell of the service based on the routing rule, and receives a packet rewriting rule in response to the query. The rewriting rule is used to send a rewritten version of the packet to a destination.

  • Patent number: 12206641
    Abstract: A system includes a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory stores a set of messages associated with a first user. The processor receives an indication of a conversation between the first user and at least a second user. In response, the processor selects a first message from the set of messages associated with the first user and uses the interface to present the first message to the second user as a suggestion to transmit to the first user. The processor determines that the second user transmitted the first message to the first user. In response to determining that the second user transmitted the first message to the first user, the processor updates the set of messages associated with the first user.
