  • Patent number: 11238628
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an intelligent auto-fill process capable of smartly filling objects on a canvas using selected context-based images. Content related to the canvas is analyzed to determine context tags related to the canvas. The context tags are used to generate a media list comprised of one or more context-based image. The media list is used to automatically fill at least one object on the canvas such that a relevant part of the context-based image is visible. In this way, objects on a canvas can be automatically filled with images related to the context of the canvas.

  • Patent number: 11188840
    Abstract: An ordered combination of machine-learning models may be used to identify users who are likely to abandon use of an application, predict the reasons why those users are likely to abandon, and identify intervening actions that the application can perform to reduce the probability that the users will abandon the application. For example, a first machine-learning model determines a retention-prediction value indicating a probability that the user will complete a target action in the application before a session terminates. If the retention-prediction value satisfies a threshold condition, a second machine-learning model determines a reason why the session is likely to terminate before the user completes the target action. A third machine-learning model determines an intervention action for the application to perform to increase the probability that the user will complete the target action before the session terminates.

  • Patent number: 11182500
    Abstract: An approach is provided that detects transmission of sensitive data fields from a user device to an online site. The approach determines the data types of the sensitive data fields and gathers site information from the online site which are stored in a data store along with the current date. Subsequently, the user can manage the data by displaying site information on a display of the user device. Each record of site information pertains to one of many online sites including the selected online site. The user makes a data management request at the user device pertaining to the selected site information. The approach then responsively transmits a request to the selected online site with the request being based on the received data management request. One example of a request is a deletion request that requests that the online site remove the user's sensitive data from the online site.

  • Patent number: 11087079
    Abstract: Users of a database management engine may generate fillable digital documents by mapping interface elements onto form documents. When a user maps interface elements onto a form document, the user may accidentally overlap two or more interface elements. To rectify this, the database management engine may modify the position of one of interface elements based on a set of positioning rules. In addition, the database management engine may identify and suggest mappings to users based on similar documents that have been previously mapped. The database management engine identifies similar documents using information about the document, the user, and the mapping itself. The mapping associated with the most similar document may be provided to the user as a suggested mapping. The database management engine converts the form document and finalized mapping into a fillable digital document. The fillable digital document is sent to recipients, who complete the fillable digital document.
