  • Patent number: 12639675
    Abstract: An information processing device predicts amounts of batteries to be recycled that are expected to be emitted over a predetermined period in each area. The information processing device determines whether there is a first recycling facility in which the amount of batteries to be recycled that are expected to be emitted over a predetermined period in the corresponding area is predicted to exceed the battery recycling capacity of the recycling facility. When determination is made that there is the first recycling facility, the information processing device identifies one or more second recycling facilities that are able to additionally recycle the batteries to be emitted that are expected to be emitted over the predetermined period in a first area corresponding to the first recycling facility and that are in excess of the battery recycling capacity of the first recycling facility.

  • Patent number: 12443979
    Abstract: Media organizations are riding the wave of technology to multiple distribution platforms, sales channels and business models, and into a world of cross-platform advertising. The interrelated functions of ad sales are managed as a single system if an organization is to maximize advertising revenue. How does an organization manage, value, and optimize ad sales inventory in an ecosystem that has multiple sales channels competing for the same overlapping inventory segments in a multi-platform distribution model? Many organizations have tried to solve this problem with teams of analysts and consultants. However, conflicting goals and siloed analysis lead these teams to failure. Artificial intelligence is better equipped to cope with the overwhelming complexities of these mixed business models. By making decisions with a holistic view of the business, artificial intelligence can drive increased revenues through optimized allocation, placement, and pricing strategies across sales channels.
