  • Patent number: 11922189
    Abstract: A pathway identification system includes processor and memory hardware. The memory hardware stores a pathway database including pathways corresponding to at least one pathway parameter, a framework database including a set of framework transformation models, and instructions. The instructions include, in response to receiving a first pathway parameter corresponding to a user, identifying a subset of pathways of the pathways corresponding to the first pathway parameter. The instructions include obtaining a first set of framework transformation models from the framework database, determining a pathway value for each pathway of the subset of pathways using the first set of framework transformation models, and selecting at least one pathway of the subset of pathways based on the corresponding pathway value. The instructions include transmitting information encoding the at least one pathway to the operator device and transforming a user interface of the operator device to display the at least one pathway.

  • Patent number: 10268826
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that address issues related to data privacy by enabling users to elect various levels of data sharing. A user of a user device is enabled to indicate their comfort level with sharing, transmitting, or otherwise exposing individual activity records (data entities) with respect to various activity categories. The exposure of activity records may be controlled with respect to on-device and off-device components. Furthermore, privacy profiles may be automatically generated for the user, and the privacy profiles may be automatically activated in corresponding situations.

  • Patent number: 9858259
    Abstract: A computer system provides an automated tool that processes audio data and data about computer operating context to automatically capture information, such as information from conversations and meetings. The computer operating context can include, for example, environmental data sensed, or other contextual information maintained or tracked, by the computer. The audio data and computer operating context are processed by the computer to detect starting conditions for data extraction. After detecting a starting condition, the processor initiates speech processing on the audio information to generate corresponding text data. The processor processes the text data using text filters that define salient patterns in the text data. Such salient patterns can correspond to, for example, tasks to be performed, follow-up appointments and other events, messages to be sent, important points or notes, and the like.

  • Patent number: 8751415
    Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of user modifiable utilization views of a monitored software application, where each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views is customizable to fit a domain of analysis by identifying one or more resource types of multiple resource components. Each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views is displayed in one more graphical user interfaces. The method includes determining a desired ordering of the one or more resource types within a hierarchy of types and filtering one or more details of the multiple resource components to create a customized view. A user can navigate between each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views to dynamically construct related target analysis views including filtered details across one or more other domains of analysis.

  • Patent number: 8112366
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes an interface to receive a resource governance rule applicable to one or more hardware resources supporting a monitored software application. The system includes utilization logic to measure usage of a particular hardware resource by the monitored software application. An available utilization of the particular hardware resource is determined based on the resource governance rule, and a total utilization of the particular hardware resource is also determined. One or more utilization metrics are determined based on historical usage of the particular hardware resource as compared to a governed capacity and a non-governed capacity available to the particular hardware resource. The system also includes recommendation logic to determine a recommended action to be taken with respect to the monitored software application.
