Publication number: 20230198763Abstract: An anonymous, decentralized, high speed, open source, data-only, wireless network is deployed in physical space. A server attached to the network generates a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and associates the NFT with a first network device (e.g., a cellular antennae) before the first network device is deployed in the cellular network. After deployment of the first network device into the cellular network, a second network device (e.g., a network validator) can identify the first network device with information from the NFT. In this way, a digital token can identify a physical piece of hardware for communications within the cellular network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Anthony LEVANDOWSKI, Oscar ARGUETA, Alexander CHAN, Catherine CULKIN, Kemal FICCI, Sridatta KOMPELLA, Christian KURASEK, Thomas MULROY, Ryan OZAWA, Andrew STEPHENS, Anya ZAYTSEVA

Patent number: 11347483Abstract: A method for designing a logic flow for a user interface is provided. The method comprises receiving from a first task for an automation process file from a user. The automation process file defines a set of system activities. The first task is added to the automation process file and submitted to a machine learning engine, which determines a number of suggested tasks to be performed after the first task. The suggested tasks are based on frequencies with which previous users have used each task after the first task. The suggested tasks are then presented to the user. A second task is received from the user to be performed after the first task. The second task may be selected from the suggested tasks but not necessarily so. The second task is then added to the automation process file.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: ADP, Inc.Inventors: Claire Casaregola, David Dushaj, Michael Greene, Yair Pike, Alexander Chan, Lauren Miller
