Patent number: 11863572Abstract: A computer system receives a set of messages, and processes the messages using a filter. In some examples, the filter is defined using a pattern matching language such as a regular expression. The system collects a set of representative messages that match the filter. Using the set of representative messages, the system generates a corresponding flow network graph. Using the flow network graph, the system determines a similarity measure that indicates whether a new message resembles other matching messages of the filter. Based on the similarity measure, in various embodiments, the system identifies potential errors in the filter definitions, omissions in the terms of the filter, and message outliers that indicate system anomalies or events of particular interest to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gianluca Grilli, Jamie Plenderleith

Patent number: 11853372Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving the discoverability of messages on a social network. The creation of a proposed message that requests a response from a target audience is detected. The social network is then searched to identify search terms and posts related to the proposed message. Upon identifying the search terms, the search terms are ranked in order of usage among the identified posts. A list of identified search terms in order of rank is then presented to the user to modify the proposed message. The proposed message is modified using a search term selected by the user from the list of search terms. The modified message is then posted on the social network. In this manner, the message created by the user has been modified to improve the discoverability of the message on the social network and to increase responses from an appropriate target audience.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul R.

Patent number: 11789954Abstract: A request may be received from a user through a user interface an issued independent claim of a patent may be automatically compared to a pre-allowance published independent claim of an application of the patent to identify a unique keyword present in the issued independent claim but not present in the pre-allowance published independent claim. The unique keyword may be flagged to the user by highlighting the unique keyword in the user interface. A first prior art document may be retrieved using the flagged unique keyword. A unique keyword overlap score may be calculated for the first prior art document based on occurrences of the unique keyword in the first prior art document. A graphical representation of an identity of the first prior art document, the unique keyword, and the unique keyword overlap score may be generated for display in the user interface. The graphical representation may be displayed along with a graphical timeline based on a priority date of the first prior art document.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Black Hills IP Holdings, LLCInventor: Steven W.
