The server includes at least one processor; at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the ledger at least to: receive, from a buyer bank, authorisation of payment from the buyer bank to a seller bank; transmit a command that triggers a payment sequence to effect payment from the buyer bank to the seller bank, in response to receipt of the authorisation of the payment; and update the ledger on progress of the payment sequence between the buyer bank and the seller bank.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying failed customer experience in distributed computer systems. An example method comprises: receiving, by an application performance management (APM) server associated with a distributed computer system, an application layer message associated with a request originated by a client computer system responsive to an action by a user; identifying a failed customer experience error by analyzing the application layer message; and causing a first graph to be rendered by a graphical user interface in a visual association with a second graph representing a number of user login events grouped by a pre-defined period of time, wherein the first graph represents a number of identified failed customer experience errors grouped by the pre-defined period of time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting application performance monitoring data in distributed computer systems. An example method may comprise: receiving, by a processing device, one or more application performance monitoring (APM) rules, each APM rule determining an application operational status based on one or more APM parameters; receiving APM data comprising a plurality of APM data items representing values of the APM parameters of a software application; determining an operational status of the software application by applying the APM rules to the APM data; and causing the operational status to be visually represented via a graphical user interface (GUI).

Abstract: The present application is directed to systems and methods for associating a geographic location with an IP address. Generally, an IP address from which each of a plurality of users accesses a network is recorded. A geo tag is associated with each of the plurality of users and a subset of the plurality of users is identified, the subset including users associated with a first IP address. The subset of the plurality of users is clustered into a spatial cluster including users associated with geo tags located with a defined distance of a geo tag of at least one other user of the cluster. A geographic location associated with a geographic center of the cluster is then associated with the first IP address.

Abstract: A method for providing information to a traveler during a vehicle trip is provided, which comprises the following: monitoring a current location of a vehicle and at least one aspect of the vehicle trip other than the current location of the vehicle; and providing information to the traveler in response to as least one status change with respect to the at least one aspect of the vehicle trip based on the current location of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for tracking sales leads, including a lead clearing house logging receipt in a log of one or more encrypted leads received from a participant of the lead clearing house, the one or more leads including personal lead information having been encrypted with a one-way hash algorithm; comparing the received one or more encrypted leads with stored encrypted leads to find any matches; updating the log related to the one or more encrypted leads with unencrypted log information associated with the matching one or more encrypted leads; and communicating a status to the participant based on the log relating to the one or more leads.

Abstract: The present application is directed to systems and methods for associating a geographic location with an IP address. Generally, an IP address associated with each of a plurality of browser cookies is determined, where each of the plurality of browser cookies indicate a geographic location such as a home address or business address of a user. A geo tag is associated with each of the plurality of browser cookies and a subset of the plurality of browser cookies including browser cookies associated with a first IP address is identified.

Abstract: A method of determining a likely geographical location for which a user of a computer desires further information based on submitted criteria comprising the steps of: the user submitting criteria including a locality name; identifying from the criteria the locality name; returning, in dependence on the locality name, a probability that the locality name is associated with a geographical location.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying relevant content/advertisements to be displayed in response to receiving a search query. The relevant advertisements may be identified based on the contextual relevance compared with the root term of the search query and based on the geographic relevance as compared with a location term of the search query and/or a localness associated with the root term. The search query may be assigned a location identifier based on the location term or based on the localness, which may be used to expand the geographic range for ranking and selecting relevant content/advertisements.
