  • Patent number: 11809463
    Abstract: A method for determining a value indicator in a broker-mediated geospatial information service (GIS) environment includes receiving, from a second system via a communication network at a first system of the broker-mediated GIS environment, from a plurality of respondents, feedback data relating to: a broker-mediated GIS based upon geospatial data relating to at least one of natural features, constructed features and boundaries on the Earth, the geospatial data including location and characteristic data, and a geospatial information process for geospatially processing a dataset provided to each respondent of the plurality of respondents. Each respondent of the plurality of respondents is a prior requestor of a process-dataset solution for performing the broker-mediated GIS. Based on the feedback data, a value indicator is determined relating to a process-dataset solution based upon the geospatial data and the geospatial information process.

  • Patent number: 9609625
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to multichannel preferred device notification. A system includes a memory having computer readable instructions and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions include receiving an electronic notification for a user and determining whether a device group including a plurality of electronic devices is defined for the user. A notification subgroup is identified that includes more than one of the electronic devices located within a predefined overlapping notification range based on determining that the device group is defined for the user. A primary device is identified from the notification subgroup based on a notification priority defined for each of the electronic devices in the notification subgroup. Generation of a notification output corresponding to the electronic notification is triggered on the primary device.
