  • Patent number: 11170659
    Abstract: An online feedback network provides feedback from contributors to a feedback recipient for a project. A request modifier may receive a default request from a data source and allow the feedback recipients to use the default request, modify the default request and/or allow the feedback recipient to create an initial request in requesting feedback for each feedback recipient's project from the contributors. The request modifier may also modify the default or initial request so that the request from the feedback recipient receives a desired volume, type, source or network of feedback. For instance the request modifier may increase the number of contributors receiving the request or simplify the type of requested feedback in order to increase the volume of feedback received by the feedback recipients based on previous requests for feedback and the volume of feedback received by the past requests. The submitted request may be stored for future use.

  • Patent number: 11100599
    Abstract: An online career guidance system generates and displays superimposed polygons to a user for a corresponding career. The first polygon may have three to eight vertices, with each vertex representing a career skill. The distance from a focus to each vertex represents a career skill level predetermined to be needed for that career skill for that career. The second polygon has the same number of vertices as the first polygon that represent the same career skills and shares the same focus. The distance from the focus to each vertex of the second polygon represents a user skill level determined from previous achievements of the user. The distance between a career skill level and a user skill level (preferably both normalized to the same scale) visually represents any career skill deficits (or over qualifications) the user may have for the selected career.

  • Patent number: 10349206
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for geofence profile management. A processor can execute a geofence profile management service. The processor can receive geofence profile data from an administrator device. The processor can create, based upon the geofence profile data, a geofence profile. The geofence profile can include a geofence profile title, a geofence profile description, and a geofence profile option. The processor can provide the geofence profile to a user device. The processor can determine that the user device accepts the geofence profile, and the processor can activate the geofence profile in response to the user device accepting the geofence profile.
