  • Patent number: 11714797
    Abstract: A sub-archive is initiated. The sub-archive saves changes that have occurred since a previous final archive. Changes to an operational database (i.e., the operational database that is being archived) are allowed during the first sub-archive. A final archive is initiated in series after the sub-archive has completed. The final archive does not allow changes to the operational database when the final archive is active. In one embodiment, the sub-archive may comprise a plurality of sub-archives that depend on an amount of outstanding changes that exist in the operational database.

  • Patent number: 11693845
    Abstract: A system for acquiring time limited data to facilitate integrity verification in real-time applications (RTAs) includes an agent and a collector. The agent is associated with a RTA and is in communication with the collector. The agent defines a plurality of time ordered time frames and during each time frame collects a collection of events from event sources occurring on the RTA. The agent calculates a local integrity check from the collection and a previous integrity check or an initial key, and transmits a global integrity check calculated from local integrity checks to the collector. The collector receives the global integrity check from the agent and stores the received global integrity check in a secure storage. The collector validates the integrity of the global integrity check and the received collections of events.

  • Patent number: 11487834
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may provide modification of recommendations from a recommendation engine for a product or a device. The recommendation engine may provide initial search results for a particular type of device. The initial search results may be modified to ensure inclusion of devices that include features that the user considers important. Features that the user considers important may be determined based on observing the user's interaction with another device of the same type. By observing the user's interaction with the other device over a period of time, features that the user commonly uses and features that the user sparingly uses may be determined. The initial search results may then be modified to remove devices that do not include the features frequently used by the user and therefore considered important to the user.
