  • Patent number: 12354125
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a range of prices for a range of predicted performance wall-clock computing times for executing a desired software operation. A user uploads data of a desired software operation to a service provider. The service provider analyzes the data using a resource estimation model, determines resource options, and converts the resource options into a range of prices and corresponding predicted performance wall-clock times for execution of the desired software operation. The user selects a particular price and corresponding predicted performance wall-clock time and requests execution of the selected software operation using the resource option associated with the selected price and corresponding wall-clock time. An opportunity is provided to the user to optimize price based on either a need for more timely solutions or a need to minimize costs.

  • Patent number: 12333496
    Abstract: A system is provided for netting obligations between entities of a cycle of obligations. Each obligation specifying a quantity of an item that a from-entity of the cycle is obligated to provide to a to-entity of the cycle. For each entity, the system determines whether the sum of its inventory of the item and the quantity of the obligation on which it is a to-entity is sufficient to satisfy the obligation on which it is a from-entity. When sufficient, the system identifies one or more netting transactions to settle the obligations of the cycle. The system then directs the execution of the netting transactions and settlement transactions to effect and record the settling of the obligations.

  • Patent number: 12333493
    Abstract: Systems and methods include onboarding services for retailer devices, guest user services for a user device, and operational services provided to the retailer devices and the guest user services for dispatching beverage orders. The onboarding services map retailer inventory of a retail establishment to a standardized product schema. Upon detecting that the user device is within a predetermined distance of the retailer device, the system generates and presents a user preference by performing a rationalized perato analysis on an order history associated with the user device. The order history and the preference are mapped to the standardized product schema. The user device receives a beverage order selection and, in response, the system generates a randomized order image to be presented at the user device and the retailer device. A transaction corresponding to the beverage order selection is executed at a point-of-sale (POS) system.

  • Patent number: 12223552
    Abstract: Implementations ingest records across multiple accounts hosted by different service providers and augment the records with metadata. For example, ingesting can include processing the records to identify transactions in the records and to discover additional aspects of the transactions. In some implementations, metadata can be used to augment the identified transactions in the records, where metadata can include a category, a digital receipt, a user tag such as a geotag, and other suitable metadata. The ingesting and augmenting the records can populate a coordination data structure with identified transactions and their associated data elements. These identified transactions can then be queried and a result set of transactions that span the different user accounts can be returned. In some implementations, the transactions can be queried using the augmented metadata, or other suitable pieces of information for the transactions.
