Patent number: 11935024Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and aggregation of point-of-sale account data and generation of a marketplace platform are disclosed. Transaction information may be utilized to value one or more businesses, and those valuations may be presented to potential buyers in a generated marketplace platform. A remote system may facilitate a sales agreement between a buying merchant and a seller merchant by, for example, transferring funds from a remote system account to the selling merchant's account and accepting repayment from the buying merchant over time. Merging of transaction information and/or user accounts pursuant to the sales agreement may also be performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Block, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Cziraky-Stanley, Ryan Tai, Brian Mullins

Patent number: 11514058Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to context rules in a graph or isolated collection. In an example, information in an isolated collection may be associated with one or more contexts. The information may be represented within the isolated collection based on one or more rules, and one or more of the rules may be associated with one or more contexts to which the information relates, thereby indicating a context association. A context association may indicate a positive, negative, or other relationship between one or more rules and one or more contexts. Based on the context association, information within the isolated collection may be adapted to generate different views of the isolated collection for different contexts. As such, relevant, useful, or actionable information may be included or emphasized, while information that is not as relevant, useful, or actionable may be omitted or deemphasized.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Standefer, Christopher Mullins

Publication number: 20210102813Abstract: A worksite management system for a worksite includes a sensor module associated with each of one or more machines working on the worksite. The sensor module generates a signal indicative of a location of a corresponding one of a machine from the one or more machines. An on-board controller associated with each of the one or more machines receives the signal corresponding to the location of the corresponding one of the machine on the worksite, and looks up the location of the corresponding one of the machine in at least one of a pre-generated or learned terrain map of a network of haul routes. The on-board controller identifies at least one condition of the haul route at the looked-up location, and then generates an alert for an operator to perform one or more recommended actions with respect to an operating parameter of the corresponding one of the machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2018Publication date: April 8, 2021Applicant: Caterpillar SARLInventors: David Richard WISLEY, Paul Minniss, Jonathan Moses, Christopher MULLINS, Russell PUGH, Anthony James POLLOCK, David THOMPSON, Thomas Hanry ABEL

Patent number: 10740553Abstract: A review workflow graph (e.g., graph database) is provided that is a graphical representation of a review workflow assigned to a document and/or an individual document section. In particular, contents of the document may be stored as nodes in the review workflow graph. As the reviewers perform the review workflow, results associated with one or more review processes may be recorded and stored in the review workflow graph with relationships to the content nodes. In aspects, the graph of nodes may be materialized into a view of the document and/or a review timeline. For instance, portions of the document that have been completed may be materialized, but content that is not yet complete (e.g., reached a milestone) may not be materialized. Additionally, the review timeline may be a visual or other representation of the temporal progress of the review workflow, including intermediate milestones as well as an ultimate completion deadline.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christopher Mullins, Robert Standefer

Publication number: 20180268004Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to rule hierarchies for graphs or isolated collections. In an example, information in an isolated collection may relate to one of multiple levels in a hierarchy. As such, mapping rules may adapt level-specific information such that it is understandable or useable by other levels within the hierarchy. In some examples, mapping rules may be hierarchical, such that a mapping rule of one layer may be used to adapt a mapping rule from another layer. In other examples, mapping rules may be reused by other levels of the hierarchy when it is determined that they may be relevant or useful to apply to other level-specific information. Adaptation of information using mapping rules may enable information that was previously inaccessible to be accessed by a more general audience, thereby mitigating potential data silos and further enriching the available information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2017Publication date: September 20, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Robert Standefer, Christopher Mullins
