  • Patent number: 12190261
    Abstract: There is described a method and distributed network for managing a supply chain. At least one local production system is fed with an algorithm for producing a good or service (such as agricultural produce) over a production duration. An edge computing device, receives and treats data originating from the at least one local production system. A server periodically receives, from remote data sources, data relative to a market for the good or service, after a time period which is less than the production duration, and receives data treated by the edge computing device to perform comparisons with the data relative to the market to make a diagnostic. The diagnostic is transmitted to a machine learning module for updating the algorithm for production after the time period which is less than the production duration and feeding the algorithm as updated to the at least one local production system.

  • Patent number: 11935080
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to providing intelligent alerting and automation for marketing analytics software. In implementation, intelligent alerting is initiated by a user, which enables deep learning models to analyze various data patterns. Intelligent alerting learns about preferences and data consumption patterns of the user with marketing analytics software. Intelligent alerting also accounts for and learns from any manually created alerts set up by the user and/or alerts created automatically by anomaly detection. Intelligent alerting analyzes all other users within the organization of the user to find similar users based on their consumption patterns. An on-demand game may be provided to the user to determine the criticality of one metric change over another. This enables intelligent alerting to automatically provide alerts which pass a critical threshold of importance to the user and context to help the user understand why a metric changes in a significant way.

  • Patent number: 11704782
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method allows a wait time to be determined automatically for a queue area. The queue is part of an environment and includes defined entrance and exit areas. A series of images showing the environment are received over time. A wait time associated with the queue area is determined by detecting a location of a object corresponding to a person in a first one of the images; associating the object with an identifier uniquely identifying the object in the first one of the images matching objects in later images; and determining the wait time based on times associated with an image in which an object associated with the identifier enters the queue area through the defined entrance area and later one of the images in which an object associated with the identifier exits the queue area through the defined exit area. An indication of the wait time is output.
