  • Contextual relevance engine for activity feeds
    Patent number: 11349955
    Abstract: A method for determining relevance for activity feeds is disclosed. Activity feeds are received from one or more business entities. Information is received regarding activities being performed by a user. Context information is received regarding the user. A user context is determined from the information the regarding activities being performed by the user and the context information. The user context indicates the current status of the user. A relevance of the activity feeds is determined based on the user context. At least some of the activity feeds are displayed on a computing device. The at least some of the activity feeds are displayed according to a priority determined by the relevance.
    Type: Grant

  • Testing software in electronic devices
    Patent number: 8230265
    Abstract: Software in an electronic device can be tested using a combination of random testing and deterministic testing. In various embodiments, deterministic tests can run for a prescribed duration and/or a prescribed number of iterations before and/or after random testing. Test results can be weighted using a metric representing an amount of code that was stressed during testing. This metric can be determined by tracking software code that is loaded into memory during testing.
