Patent number: 11308113Abstract: A cognate specification system manages and enforces digital, canonical representations of entities that are added to and in the system by creating a composite entity key (“EntityKey”) that uniquely and immutably identifies each entity within the system, and that is created based upon the attributes of the entity rather than being arbitrarily assigned. Entities may be organized into various types or cognates, each associated with distinct sets of attributes. A physical or digital referent may be added to the system as an entity by specifying attributes. In such a system, any entity, whether a physical or digital referent, a process, or other type, is uniquely and verifiably identifiable, and may be linked to or associated with other entities, allowing users of the system to produce and access specification granularity beyond traditional approaches focused on systems interoperability.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Edgewood Software Corp.Inventors: David Boggs, James Orr, Thomas Vaughan

Patent number: 11269927Abstract: A transactional replicator applying group commit and barrier concepts is disclosed. Group commit means that the transactional replicator commits multiple transactions in a group and is not restricted to committing single transactions one-at-a-time and is not limited to operating on a single state provider. Barrier means that the transactional replicator does not move forward to commit additional transactions until the previous group of transactions are completed. All state providers must apply their transactions and update state before additional transactions will be committed. A quorum acknowledgement “unlocks” any locks that were acquired to update the state within a state provider. However, as long as there are no lock conflicts, additional transactions can continue to create new group commits as necessary.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gopal Krishna R.

Patent number: 11263229Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for efficiently detecting alert states within unstructured event data. Alert states are illustratively defined as occurring when a threshold number of journey instances are present within the unstructured event data, each journey instance representing a series of events within the event data representing steps within a pre-defined journey. Detecting journey instances within unstructured event data can require significant computational resources, and thus attempting to detect alert states directly from unstructured event data can lead to inefficiencies. Embodiments of this disclosure enable a structured data set of journey instances to be generated from unstructured event data, and for the structured data set to be evaluated based on criteria of multiple alert states. By utilizing a single structured data set to support evaluation based on multiple alert states, detecting alert states from unstructured event data is rendered more efficient.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Chandrashekar Basavaiah, Jindrich Dinga, Elizabeth Li, Cary Glen Noel, Isabelle Park, Eric Tschetter, Joshua Walters, Mei Chun Yeh

Patent number: 11256715Abstract: A method and an apparatus for data backup are disclosed. The method includes querying a slave for check information, where the check information is data inserted into a master when data written to the master is copied into the slave in a form of a log; obtaining a time at which the check information is inserted into the master and setting the time as a backup completion time point; and deleting data record(s) that is/are earlier than the backup completion time point from mirrored data, the mirrored data being data that is synchronously written to a defined storage space when the data is written to the master. The method for data backup is easy to implement at a low cost, and provides highly secure data backup.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Advanced New Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yunliang Shi, Huabing Du

Content data holding system, storage medium, content data holding server, and data management method
Patent number: 11243931Abstract: A server includes a content storage medium configured to store content data of content usable in different types of games. The server, upon a transmission request, sends content data to an information-processing device, and retains the sent content data in the content storage medium wherein sending the content data again is prohibited. The server, when the content data is sent from the information-processing device, receives the content data, assigns a new ID to the received content data in case the received content data lacks the ID, and stores the received content data in the content storage medium wherein sending the content data is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignees: NINTENDO CO., LTD., THE POKÉMON COMPANYInventors: Tsunekazu Ishihara, Takanori Sowa, Nobuyuki Ohta, Takahiro Ohnishi, Hiroki Togashi -
Patent number: 11238059Abstract: A method of facilitating construction of a user interface for policing input of user-defined data to a database. An ontology expressed in a first-order logic language is obtained, the ontology describing one or more predefined classes, a plurality of predefined properties and at least one predefined restriction. Data useable to identify a first class is received, and in response, an intermediate data structure is generated for the first class, the intermediate data structure configured to facilitate construction of a user interface for policing input of user-defined data to the database. Generating the intermediate data structure comprises identifying a property from the ontology that is applicable to the first class, determining a property restriction function indicating whether the at least one restriction is applicable to the property, and associating the at least one restriction with the property in the intermediate data structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Data Chemist LimitedInventors: Kevin Feeney, Gavin Mendel-Gleason

Patent number: 11233803Abstract: A multiresolution parser (MRP) can selectively extract one or more information units from a dataset based on the available processing capacity and/or the arrival rate of the dataset. Should any of these parameters change, the MRP can adaptively change the information units to be extracted such that the benefit or value of the extracted information is maximized while minimizing the cost of extraction. This tradeoff is facilitated, at least in part, by an analysis of the spectral energy of the datasets expected to be processed by the MRP. The MRP can also determine its state after a processing iteration and use that state information in subsequent iterations to minimize the required computations in such subsequent iterations, so as to improve processing efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Reservoir Labs, Inc.Inventors: Jordi Ros-Giralt, Alan Commike, Richard A.
