  • Patent number: 11397955
    Abstract: Estimations of carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emission of an entity upon the condition of incomplete or missing data uses one or more algorithms implemented in a machine having a processor and a memory and data concerning the entity. The data is applied to an algorithm implemented as code executable in the processor. The algorithm produces a result that comprises an estimate of the CO2 emission of the entity. The CO2 emission estimate can be output to a user, and the underlying formula and data can inspected and optionally modified by users with suitable permissions. The CO2 emission estimate can be applied as a factor in a formula to compute a rating for the entity which can be output from the machine. Error estimates associated with the data used by the algorithm can be generated to provide improved estimates.

  • Patent number: 11397923
    Abstract: An organization mapping system reverse engineer's online data from websites and social network accounts into an organization map representing brands owned by a company. The mapping system extracts objects from the online data associated with different brands, products, services, campaigns, locations, events, etc. The mapping system organizes the objects into an organization map that can be used to automatically configure enterprise software. The organization map necessarily includes the most recent and up-to-date brands, products, and campaigns operating within a company and is therefore inherently more accurate than current organization mapping techniques.

  • Patent number: 11379940
    Abstract: A system and method of this disclosure identifies and prioritizes utility services infrastructure assets and other structures located within a selected service territory that may be potentially impacted by a natural hazard event. The method dynamically displays a map on a graphical user interface, the map containing virtual representations of the utility services infrastructure assets, the non-utility services structures, and a magnitude of the natural hazard event in relation to those assets and structures. Using one of more predetermined rules, a prioritized list of the utility services infrastructure assets that should be inspected within the selected service territory may be dynamically generated. The predetermined rules may include a likelihood of damage and a consequence severity such as, but not limited to, effect on service or public health or safety. Users may be automatically notified when a magnitude of the event is at least as great as a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11354756
    Abstract: An endorsement application can allow a user to endorse a product on a social network website when the product is purchased at a physical merchant point of sale terminal. Users of social network websites have been given the opportunity to endorse products that they have located or purchased online, but purchasers of products in person have not had that opportunity. The endorsement application can operate on a user's mobile device and can recognize a product purchased through near field or other communication using the mobile device. The application can isolate the product identification and product marketing data supplied by the point of sale terminal or other source and offer the user the opportunity to endorse the product on a social network website. If the user endorses the product, the application sends the endorsement to the user's account on the social network website for display to the user's community.

  • Patent number: 11282155
    Abstract: Mismatched drivers may be identified based on passenger evaluations. A set of evaluations may be obtained. Each evaluation in the set of evaluations may be based on whether a current driver matches a registered driver. A convergence point number may be obtained. The convergence point number may be a number of evaluations required for accurate identification. An identification rate may be computed based on the set of evaluations and the convergence point number. The current driver may be verified based on a comparison of the identification rate to a threshold match rate. If the identification rate is greater than a threshold match rate, it may be determined that the identity of the current driver is valid. If the identification rate is not greater than a threshold match rate, the current driver may be identified as a mismatched driver.

  • Patent number: 11257046
    Abstract: Home management tasks may be tracked, scheduled, verified, and accounted for using computer systems interacting with each other to maintain an overall “HomeScore” for a given property. The HomeScore represents an indication of compliance with overall quality of maintenance tasks for a specific residential property. Compliance may be required by local ordinances and building codes. Insurance companies may desire insight into upkeep (e.g., overall maintenance) of the property for which they are providing “homeowners insurance.” Disclosed systems may interact with a) government computer systems (e.g., building code enforcement, property tax authorities, etc.); b) real estate agent computer systems (e.g., systems that promote buying and selling of real estate); and c) vendor computer systems (e.g., service providers and do it yourself (DIY) retailers). This interaction, along with homeowner input of data, may be used to produce an individualized HomeScore representing one validated (i.e.
