  • Patent number: 11977552
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improvements for reducing client-server network traffic. For example, methods and systems allow for the reduction of client-server network traffic by altering search filters based on their respective rank and/or frequencies of being searched with other search filters included in a search query. In this way, users do not have to resubmit queries that are illogical or would return a null set of search results. For example, a first query may be received. A first search may be performed based on the first query. A first search filter may be selected based on a hierarchical tree structure of search filters. A second query may be generated comprising the first search filter and one or more other search filters, wherein the second query comprises fewer search filters than the first query, and a second search may be performed based on the second query.

  • Patent number: 11977523
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating performing data extraction via efficient extraction rule matching. Generally, an extraction rule can be determined to match an event based on a two-step process. In particular, initially, a determination that a set of fixed substrings associated with the extraction rule matches fixed substrings of the event can be made. Based on fixed substring match, a determination can be made that a set of fields associated with the extraction rule matches fields of the event. In such a case, the extraction rule can be deemed to match the event and used to extract values from the event.

  • Patent number: 11971849
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods and systems may manage a fleet of multi-tenant logical databases in Relational Database Management System (“RDBMS”) servers for a cloud computing environment. The system may include a pool of physical RDBMS servers (e.g., Postgre-Structured Query Language (“SQL”) servers) and a tenant-aware Application Programming Interface (“API”) that is accessed by tenants. A computer processor of a database allocation engine may receive, from the tenant-aware API, a request to provision a logical database including a tenant identifier associated with a requesting tenant. The database allocation may then select an eligible physical RDBMS server in the pool of physical RDBMS servers and allocate a logical database for the requesting tenant via the selected physical RDBMS server (e.g., using the tenant identifier).

  • Patent number: 11971944
    Abstract: Techniques for using suppression filters for presenting content of a network documents are described. In an example, a computer system receives, from a device associated with an account identifier, a request for an online network document. The computer system determines that a first category identifier of a first item category is associated with a suppression filter. The computer system determines that the account identifier is associated with an online item interaction having an interaction time associated with an item that belongs to the first item category. The computer system determines, based on a comparison of the interaction time and the suppression time, that a presentation of the first content in the online network document is prohibited. The computer system sends, to the device in response to the request, network document data that indicates second content about a third item that belongs to a second item category.

  • Patent number: 11966365
    Abstract: A terminal device may, in a case where a first association instruction is acquired, store a first association between a label file and a first database file, and, in a case where a second association instruction is acquired, store a second association between a first object area and a first field name. The terminal device may, in a case where a first print instruction is acquired, create N pieces of first print data and send the N pieces of first print data to a label printer. The terminal device may, in a case where a disassociation instruction is acquired under the state where the first association and the second association are stored, disassociate the first association between the label file and the first database file without disassociating the second association between the first object area and the first field name.

  • Patent number: 11954100
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of mapping repair documents, published by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), to repair information provided in a repair estimate record. A baseline set of repair estimate records specifying one or more parts of a baseline vehicle and an associated set of repair documents specifying instructions for repairing the one or more parts of the baseline vehicle may be saved using a data categorization model in a mapping dataset. The repair documents associated with baseline set of repair estimate records which have been saved in the mapping dataset may then be used to automatically determine associations between another set of repair estimate records and corresponding repair documents.

  • Patent number: 11941053
    Abstract: In response to receiving a tagging request to map a first non-fungible token (NFT) to a first user device, a processor transmits an authorization request to a second user device to map the first NFT to the first user device. In response to receiving an approval of the request, the processor transmits a request to a minting server of an NFT blockchain network to generate the first NFT for the first user device. The processor stores a token ID of the generated first NFT in a memory. In response to receiving a second authorization from the first user device to perform a data interaction, the processor requests the NFT blockchain network based on the token ID, verification of the first user device. In response to receiving an indication that the first user device is verified, the processor processes the data interaction.

  • Patent number: 11928125
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may obtain, from a first data repository, a first dataset that includes event data associated with a generic schema. The system may infer an event-specific schema that defines an organizational structure for the event data based on common attributes identified among a plurality of events included in the event data using one or more data analytics functions. The system may store, in a second data repository, a second dataset in which the event data is partitioned based on the organizational structure defined by the event-specific schema. The system may generate a third dataset that includes a subset of the event data included in the second dataset that satisfies one or more registration parameters related to an extract, transform, load (ETL) use case. The system may provide the third dataset to an ETL system configured to process the third dataset based on the ETL use case.
