Patent number: 11501238Abstract: A service monitoring system (SMS) produces key performance indicator (KPI) scores that indicate the performance of a service. To produce the KPI scores, the SMS may process the data for a large number of machine entities that perform the service. This data can be processed on a per-entity basis to produce a per-entity KPI score representing the contribution of a particular machine to the overall KPI. The per-entity KPI scores can be transformed to statistical representations which can be visualized as a distribution stream graph. The visualization may be presented with interactive aspects.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Tristan Antonio Fletcher, Asmita Puri, Alok Anant Bhide

Patent number: 11402427Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing system includes a memory, an inputter, and a processor. The memory stores correlation information including a specification item group, an element item group, and a risk item group. The specification item group includes specification items. The element item group includes element items. The risk item group includes risk items. One of the specification items to be modified is selected by a first operation input to the inputter. One of the element items is selected by a second operation input to the inputter. When the first operation is input, the processor refers to the correlation information and extracts at least one of the element items having a correlation with the one of the specification items. The processor extracts at least one of the risk items having a correlation with one element item of the at least one of the element items selected.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Michinobu Inoue, Hideo Nishiuchi

Patent number: 11361332Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Frank Passantino, Arjun Nair

Patent number: 11361154Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Westwood Capital Partners, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey L.

Patent number: 11188929Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: OPOWER, INC.Inventors: Brian Sloss, Koorosh Nouri

Patent number: 11157860Abstract: A system and method for motivating parking enforcement officer performance with the aid of a digital computer is provided. A time-based active representational model of the city is created by fusing sensory data collected from various sources around a city with numerical data gleaned from historical and on-going activities, including parking regulation citation and warning numbers, resource allocations, and so on. The model can be used to form quantitative predictions of expected violations, revenue stream, and so forth, that can then be used as recommendations as to where to enforce and when, so as to maximize the utilization of the limited resources represented by the officers on the street. Moreover, the performance of the officers can be weighed against expectations of performance postulated from the quantitative predictions.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Mark J.
