  • Messaging system failover
    Patent number: 11064022
    Abstract: A device receives a notification indicating a failure of a first server device responsible for a primary message queue that includes messages at a time of the failure. A second server device is responsible for a standby message queue to which the messages are replicated, where a position in the standby message queue and a message time are assigned to each of the replicated messages. The device obtains a record time that identifies the message time of one of the messages that was last obtained from the primary message queue prior to the failure, compares an adjusted record time and the message time of one or more of the messages of the standby message queue to determine a starting position in the standby message queue, and processes messages obtained from the standby message queue beginning at one of the messages assigned to the position that matches the starting position.

  • Secure remote transaction framework
    Patent number: 11049101
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods of providing secure remote transaction (SRT) transactions. In some embodiments, upon selection of a checkout element, a user may be identified with respect to a transaction to be completed. A number of accounts may then be identified in relation to that user. Upon selection of a particular account, the user may be authenticated using a facilitator application installed on a mobile computing device that supports authentication for the selected account. In some embodiments, the system may involve the use of a transaction-specific token generated upon receiving an authentication indicator from the facilitator application.

  • ELECTRONIC GAMING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING UPGRADEABLE SYMBOL AWARDS
    Publication number: 20210049869
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system includes at least one processor configured to provide a reel-based wagering game. In the game, a matrix of symbol positions is displayed, and during each spin of the reels, the processor determines whether at least one symbol displayed in the matrix is a target (or collectable) symbol. When at least one target symbol is displayed, the processor also determines whether a threshold number of such target symbols have been accumulated from the matrix by the player, and if so, the processor awards a plurality of free games, each of which is evaluated against an upgraded paytable. The upgraded paytable defines a plurality of upgraded awards for a variety of symbol combinations, at least some of which incorporate the target symbol. In some cases, a different (e.g., upgraded) version of the target symbol may be displayed during free games.

  • System for dissolving solid chemicals and generating liquid solutions
    Patent number: 10870091
    Abstract: A system for dissolving solid chemical may include three reservoirs positioned in a vertically stacked arrangement. A solid chemical reservoir configured to receive solid chemical to be dissolved may be nested in a solution generator reservoir into which water is introduced to erode the solid chemical. A dissolved chemical reservoir can be positioned under the solid chemical reservoir and the solution generator reservoir. The dissolved chemical reservoir can store solution generated using the system. In some examples, a recirculation circuit is used to recirculate water introduced into the solution generator reservoir until a solution having a target concentration of the chemical being dissolved is achieved. The recirculation circuit may include a recirculation line having an outlet aimed at the bottom wall of the solid chemical reservoir.

    Abstract: Data is collected from a set of devices according to a data collection policy. The data is associated with at least one of: device configuration, device state, or device behavior. A norm is established using the collected data. A different data collection policy is established based on the norm. Data is collected from a particular device according to the different data collection policy. The norm is compared to the data collected from the particular device. If there is a deviation beyond a threshold deviation between the norm and the data collected from the particular device, a responsive action is taken.

  • TEST AUTOMATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING LOGICAL IDENTIFIERS
    Publication number: 20200356469
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for test automation of a graphical user interface (GUI) using a screen element structure. The test automation can utilize a test script that identifies screen elements and corresponding actions to perform. The test script can identify screen elements with physical identifiers. The test automation can request the screen element structure from a server and retrieve one or more logical identifiers that correspond to the physical identifier. This can allow the test automation to use the logical identifier that is suitable for the particular GUI screen being tested and the automation platform itself. The test script can remain the same even when logical identifiers evolve since the screen element structure can be updated to include new logical identifiers.

  • Automatic and dynamic generation of customized computer user interface screens
    Patent number: 10810358
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for automatically rendering a customized user interface (UI). A server receives a request to generate a UI, the request including a user identifier and a workflow identifier. The server determines a template based upon the workflow identifier, comprising areas for insertion of custom UI elements. The server captures a list of UI nodes, each UI node comprising metadata. The server organizes the UI nodes into (i) a tree data structure comprising an anchor UI node and child UI nodes, and (ii) a table data structure of identifiers for the nodes in the tree structure, values, constraints, and the metadata for the corresponding UI node. The server inserts the metadata into the areas for insertion using the tree data structure and the table data structure. The server renders a graphical UI based upon the metadata.
