  • Patent number: 11921696
    Abstract: A method of updating a data set using event-based conditions includes adding a first data point to the data set and triggering a first event indicating that the data set has changed. Adding the first data point to the data set triggers the first event. The method also includes, in response to the first event, updating conditions for completing the data set. The conditions are associated with action pathways for receiving or verifying missing data points in the data set. The method further includes triggering a second event indicating that the conditions for completing the data set have changed and, in response to the second event, distributing the conditions to a plurality of distributed services. Each of the plurality of distributed services is configured to execute one or more of the action pathways for receiving or verifying the missing data points in the data set.

  • Patent number: 11914573
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.

  • Patent number: 11893067
    Abstract: A payment service system monitors data associated with a dynamic information feed and determines trending causes based on the monitoring. The system accesses user information associated with a user and identifies a trending cause that is relevant to the user based on the user information. The system transmits, to the user's mobile device, a recommendation alert that is formatted based on a local application on the user's mobile device, and causes the user's mobile device to surface the recommendation alert to recommend the relevant trending cause within the local application. The system receives an indication of an interaction with the recommendation alert via the user's mobile device. In response, the system facilitates a transfer of at least one asset from an account associated with the user to at least one account associated with at least one recipient entity associated with the relevant trending cause according to a specified distribution.

  • Patent number: 11853288
    Abstract: Enhanced filter accuracy is disclosed with respect to determining whether a data element is present in a data store. The filter can correspond to a probabilistic filter with multiple levels. At each level after a representation of an original data element is captured in a data structure, a predetermined modification can be applied to the data element and a representation of the resulting modified data element can be captured in the data structure. In query operation, a check be performed for the presence or absence of an input data element and a number of modifications of the input data element, which results in a reduced false positive probability and improved accuracy. A multidimensional data structure can also be employed in conjunction with multiple levels to further improve accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11768860
    Abstract: An embodiment establishes a designated attribute value as a semantic criterion for grouping records in a bucket, identifies a first set of records having attribute values that satisfy the semantic criterion, and adds the first set of records to the bucket. The embodiment detects that the first set of records represent a first series of events that occurred in succession at respective times. The embodiment derives a temporal attribute value representative of a time pattern formed by the times of the first series of events and designates the temporal attribute value as a temporal criterion for grouping records in the bucket. The embodiment identifies a second set of records that represent a second series of events and satisfy the temporal criterion and adds the second set of records to the bucket based at least in part on the second set of records satisfying the temporal criterion.

  • Patent number: 11748355
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards causing the generation of a content selection graph (or set of graphs) upon receipt of a notification that a new graph or replacement graph is needed with respect to a starting timepoint. For a new graph, a timepoint for that new graph indicates the need for the new graph at a given starting time. For a replacement graph, a notification (subscribed from a monitoring service) can indicate that an existing graph has changed; a replacement graph is generated with a graph identifier of the replacement graph, which then replaces the graph identifier of the existing graph in the mappings of valid graphs to start times. A Redis cache can be used to maintain the various graph sets, including the active graph sets and graph sets that will become active at a future time.
