  • Patent number: 10073813
    Abstract: Programmatically generating a mixed integer linear programming (“MIP”) matrix, which can then be solved to provide an optimization, based on an annotated entity/relationship data model and a symbolic matrix. The annotated data model identifies one or more outputs of the optimization. The symbolic matrix provides one or more constraints that provide requirements under which the optimization is solved. Outputs of the optimization are represented as variables, inputs of the optimization are represented as constants, and primary keys from the data model are represented as indexes. The constraints are expressed using the variables, constants, and indexes. A MIP matrix is generated from the symbolic matrix, and is then solved by a MIP solver. The output of the MIP solver is used to update a corresponding data structure of the data model.

  • Patent number: 9930481
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for controlling a mobile device of interest. In order to automatically turn or keep the ringer off for the mobile device of interest, the number of other mobile devices within a defined proximity and maintaining a minimum time threshold in the presence of the other mobile devices within the defined proximity are evaluated. Upon determining there is at least a minimum number of other mobile devices within the defined proximity and the mobile device of interest maintains the minimum time threshold in the presence of the other mobile devices within the defined proximity, the mobile device of interest automatically turns the ringer off.

  • Patent number: 9891813
    Abstract: A method and associated device for moving an image displayed on a touchscreen of the device. It is determined that an object previously moving on the touchscreen toward a first outer edge of the touchscreen has traversed the first outer edge in a first direction perpendicular to the first outer edge so as to no longer be touching the touchscreen. The displayed image had moved in the first direction toward the first outer edge in synchronization with the previous movement of the object toward the first outer edge. In response to the object having traversed the first outer edge, one or more motion sensors are activated to monitor the object for continuing movement of the object. The one or more motion sensors ascertain the continuing movement of the object away from the first outer edge, and in response, the displayed image is moved toward the first outer edge.
