  • Patent number: 12682376
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a network inventory service (NIS). An NIS may, for example, profile a private network for personalized advertising by recording a list of devices connected to the private network, recording traffic data for the private network, and generating profile associated with the private network based on the recorded list of devices and the recorded traffic data. The NIS may be notified, e.g., of a device within the private network, an advertising avail, request, from an advertising service, a targeted advertisement based on the user profile, and cause the targeted advertisement to be inserted in the advertising avail. In some embodiments, an NIS may work in conjunction with an inventory profile service (IPS) and/or an ad presentation service (APS). An IPS may deliver rules for analyzing new devices and/or network traffic and an APS may communicate with the NIS along with various advertiser networks to supply personalized ads.

  • Patent number: 12640247
    Abstract: A method is described for controlling operations of an automated refill system (AFS) to support automated communications with a plurality of interactive voice response (IVR) systems in fulfillment of a prescription order. Upon receiving a request message to refill a medicinal prescription order from a first IVR system, the AFS is configured to determine whether it is able to communicate with the first IVR system associated with a first pharmacy identified in the request message. Thereafter, the AFS determines whether the first IVR system associated with the first pharmacy provides a medication identified in the request message at a lowest cost. If so, the AFS continues operability with the first IVR system. Otherwise, the AFS selects a second IVR system associated with a second pharmacy to handle the refill order when the second pharmacy can provide the medication at a lowest cost.

  • Patent number: 12614155
    Abstract: A system for energy management in a water treatment comprises at least one processor coupled to at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a high-level energy optimization machine learned model (HLEOMLM) and a low-level energy optimization machine learned model (LLEOMLM), and a clean-in-place (CIP) system. In general, the processor is configured to obtain input data from an input data source, and constraints data from a constraints data source. The processor executes the HLEOMLM and LLEOMLM to process the input and constraints data to provide as output a long-term maintenance schedule that optimizes energy consumption and a current-maintenance schedule that optimizes operating cost for the water treatment plant. The CIP system receives the output from the processor and executes at least one of a CIP maintenance process and MR maintenance process in response to the output.

  • Patent number: 12482019
    Abstract: Systems and methods for post transaction seasonal item recommendations are disclosed. In some embodiments, a current seasonal time window associated with a seasonal event and some seasonal product types is determined. Based on historical transaction data of the seasonal product types, a first seasonal index score is computed for each item, and a second seasonal index score is computed for each product type including one or more items. A seasonal rank score is generated for each item based on the first seasonal index score and the second seasonal index score, such that the items in the historical transaction data are ranked based on their respective seasonal rank scores. Based on the ranked items and a transaction order from a user, a list of recommended items is generated and displayed to the user.

  • Patent number: 12450635
    Abstract: A system and methods for a universal integration framework for data analytics pipelines are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method maintains internal consumer data that has a consumer ID associated with a consumer based on events at a partner platform. The platform server determines target characteristics based on instructions provided by a client or the internal consumer data and generates a target consumer group associated with an internal project ID based on the target characteristics, wherein the target consumer group includes the consumer ID and internal consumer data associated with each consumer. The platform server transmits the target consumer group to the partner platform and receives partner event data indicative of updates to consumer data. The platform server generates an updated target consumer group based on the updated consumer data and transmits updates to the partner platform to improve consumer interest.
