Patent number: 11328233Abstract: Methods and systems of assigning an appraiser to perform a task are provided. A request may be evaluated to identify elements corresponding to the request. The elements may be evaluated to determine the task having a task a task parameter, such as conducting an appraisal. The task may comprise accepting an appraisal order, contacting a property owner, setting up a meeting, identifying comparable properties, confirming an appraisal time, submitting the appraisal report, or submitting a satisfaction survey. An appraiser database may be assessed to identify a group of appraisers having appraiser characteristics corresponding to the task parameter. Appraisal scores may be determined for the appraisers within the group of appraisers. The task may be assigned to an appraiser within the group of appraisers based upon the appraisal scores. Responsive to the task being assigned to the appraiser, an assignment notification may be provided to the appraiser.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: ACCURATE GROUP HOLDINGS, LLCInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 9652786Abstract: A method for attributing revenue for embedded software that displays advertising. The method includes the first step of determining the presence of more than one type of embedded software on a given client site. Then, the process assigns priority based on the length of time each type has resided on the client system and the source of each type, followed by classifying each software type, based on the history of present and predecessor copies of the software. A distribution factor is applied to each software type, based on the amount of advertising displayed by each software type and the length of time each software type has been installed. The partner revenue is distributed based on the distribution factor applied to each software type and a rate table.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Gula Consulting Limited Liability CompanyInventors: David L.
