  • Patent number: 12008586
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable the prediction of activity distribution across mediums of activities by employing processors that receive an activity record history across channels of mediums of activity. A candidate activity channel profile of a future activity channel is received that includes candidate channel attributes including: a medium attribute identifying the medium, and an activity category attribute identifying a category of activities of the future activity channel. Cannibalization forecasting models are used to predict channel metrics based on the candidate channel attributes and model parameters trained on the activity record history. New candidate channel attributes are automatically generated that improve the at least one channel metric based on the at least one channel metric, and a new candidate activity channel profile is automatically modified using the new candidate channel attributes. The channel metrics are displayed on computing devices associated with users.

  • Patent number: 11880858
    Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods to predict a vehicle preference of a customer of a rental vehicle agency. An example method to do so involves a computer executing a prediction procedure to obtain and evaluate information associated with a customer. The information can include vehicle ownership history and/or monitoring data obtained from vehicles used by the customer (a personal vehicle, a taxi, and/or a ride share service vehicle, for example). The information may be evaluated by the computer to determine a personal profile of the customer. The personal profile can include items such as physical attributes of the customer, family size, driving characteristics, and/or past vehicle ownership. The personal profile of the customer may then be used by the computer to predict a type of vehicle preferred by the customer and to select, from a vehicle fleet, a vehicle that matches the preferred type of vehicle.
