  • Publication number: 20240037635
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a central server computer, first item data in a first data format provided by first service providers and second item data in a second data format provided by second service providers. The method also includes converting the second item data in the second data format to the first data format. The central server computer can then receive a selection of a first service provider from a user device. The central server computer can then provide a display of first items provided by a first service provider and provide a display of second items provided by a second service provider. The method can then include receiving, by the central server computer from the user device, a selection of the displayed first items and the displayed second items. The method can then include initiating a fulfillment of the selection for first and second items.

  • Patent number: 11550840
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for performing graph-based media content evaluation includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a media content evaluation software code and a graph database. The hardware processor is configured to execute the media content evaluation software code to receive a query from a system user, and to identify one or more media content evaluation metrics corresponding to the query. In addition, the hardware processor is configured to execute the media content evaluation software code to search the graph database for a media content data relevant to the one or more media content evaluation metrics, and to retrieve the media content data from the graph database. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the media content evaluation software code to generate a report responsive to the query using the media content data.

  • Patent number: 9197727
    Abstract: A mobile communication device includes a storage unit for storing an unlock password, M speed dial codes and N phone numbers, each of the M speed dial codes being corresponding to one of the N phone numbers; an input unit; a communication unit; and a processing unit; wherein when the input unit is operated to sequentially input a user input password and a user input code in a lock state, the processing unit determines whether the user input password is identical to the unlock password and determines whether the user input code is identical to one of the M speed dial codes, when the user input password is identical to the unlock password and the user input code is identical to an i-th speed dial code, the processing unit dials the phone number corresponding to the i-th speed dial code through the communication unit.

  • Patent number: 7720009
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed relating to the identification of virtual private network (VPN) topologies. In an example embodiment, a plurality of edge routers associated with a network may be discovered, each edge router including one or more virtual routing and forwarding entities (VRFs). One or more route targets (RTs) associated with each of the VRFs may be determined, wherein corresponding RTs between two or more VRFs are associated with connectivity between the two or more VRFs via the network. The VRFs may be sorted into one or more groups based upon the corresponding RTs of the VRFs. A representative VRF (rVRF) may be identified for each of the one or more groups of VRFs. The rVRFs may be sorted into one or more VPNs and a topology for each VPN may be determined.
