Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for an on-demand code execution service comprising a set of computing devices for on-demand execution of function code while continuing to facilitate executing long-running background processes. A subset of resources may be initialized based, at least in part, on the application configuration data including at least a request-response process, a background process, and a lesser set of computing resources for the background process. After the execution of the background process has begun, a first request may be received. The on-demand code execution service may increase computing resources to a larger set of computing resources to generate a first response to the first request. The first response may then be provided to an external set of computing resources. After determining that the queue contains no additional requests, the on-demand code execution service may decrease the level of computing resources to the lesser set of computing resources.

Messages intended for the representative are automatically displayed on the representative device, e.g., on the desktop.

Abstract: A customer relationship management (CRM) platform may use data objects to store data associated with a virtual meeting. The CRM platform may store information about a virtual meeting in a meeting object, and store information about meeting participants in participant objects linked to the meeting object. The CRM platform may also store meeting information, returned from a separate virtual meeting platform that will host the virtual meeting, in the meeting object and the participant objects. Accordingly, the CRM platform can use the meeting object and participant objects to display meeting information in a user interface, allow users to edit meeting details via the CRM platform, and/or allow users to join the virtual meeting via the CRM platform without separately logging in to the virtual meeting platform.

Abstract: A decentralized system comprises enterprises, a decentralized blockchain platform, smart contracts, and a mobile device. The enterprises are onboarded onto the decentralized blockchain platform and are provided with credit points for the consumers. Each enterprise registers on the decentralized blockchain platform using a smart contract including rules. User performs transactions with the enterprises and the credit points are computed based on the smart contract. An issuing enterprise transfers credit tokens to a blockchain account that is generated for the consumer, and the credit tokens are redeemable at a redeeming enterprise. A mobile application of the consumer authenticates a transaction at the redeeming enterprise. The redeeming enterprise provides a quick reference code, which the consumer scans using the mobile application and authenticates the transaction. The redemption is then exchanged for a differentiated value based on the smart contracts of the issuing enterprise and the redeeming enterprise.

Abstract: There is provided a system for generating a motion performance metric of a moving human subject. The system includes a single stationarily supported motion capture device in the form of a smartphone having a camera configured to capture from a predetermined capture position, visual data of the subject as the subject moves (for example, by walking, jogging and/or running) between two distance calibration markers that are disposed at a predetermined distance apart from each other and in a field of vision of the camera. The system further includes a central data processing server in communication with the smartphone. The server is configured to initially recognise, from the captured visual data, a plurality of human pose points on the subject. The server then is able to extract kinematic data of the subject based on the recognised human pose points and then subsequently construct, based on the extracted kinematic data, a biomechanical model of the motion of the subject.
