Patent number: 11960459Abstract: Systems and methods are described for merging customer profiles, such as may be implemented by a computer-implemented contact center service. In some aspects, a subset of profiles may be determined that satisfy merging criteria, where individual profiles include a plurality of data fields. At least one value in a first data field that conflicts between at least two profiles may be identified. Next a merged value may be selected for the first data field based on data deduplication criteria, where the data deduplication criteria includes at least one indicator of accuracy of values of the plurality of data fields. As a result of a determination that at least the subset of profiles of the group of profiles meet the merging criteria, at least the subset of profiles may be combined into a combined profile using the merged value.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jan Henrik Jonsson, Shadie Hijazi, Davor Golac, Kuangyou Yao, Yang Song, Shobhit Gupta, Ian James Boetius MacClancy, Lanxin Zhang, Hongtao Liu, Austin M Nevins, Amy Lee, Meng Xiao Wang, Blake Stephens

Patent number: 11089254Abstract: Techniques for reducing a read out time and power consumption of an image sensor used for eye tracking are described. In an example, a position of an eye element in an active area of a sensor is determined. The eye element can be any of an eye, a pupil of the eye, an iris of the eye, or a glint at the eye. A region of interest (ROI) around the position of the eye is defined. The image sensor reads out pixels confined to the ROI, thereby generating an ROI image that shows the eye element.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Tobii ABInventors: Magnus Ivarsson, Per-Edvin Stoltz, David Masko, Niklas Ollesson, Mårten Skogö, Peter Blixt, Henrik Jönsson

Patent number: 10862821Abstract: Approaches are described for managing workload, or other tasks in a data center, shared resource environment or other such electronic environment. In particular, a customer (or other end user, etc.) is able to use a computing device to submit a request to process information across at least one appropriate network to be received by a provider environment. The provider environment includes a set of resources (e.g., computing devices) operable to process the information for any of a variety of different purposes. Code can be deployed and executed at one or more of the host machines, wherein when executed, can enable the host machines to perform operations to process a workload in a distributed self-organizing manner, without a master server or other management device, to distribute work, handle situations where host machines go offline, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Jan Henrik Jonsson

Patent number: 10528565Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a predictive caching operation in which a hit rate is improved by pre executing statements that are predicted based upon previous use patterns. More specifically, by analyzing a stream of statements provided to a server, such as a database server, patterns of usage are detected and based upon these patterns, statements provided to the server are executed before the actual application executes the predicted statements. Thus the application executes faster because the data requested is already cached based upon the predictive execution.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: QUEST SOFTWARE INC.Inventors: Daniel T. Wood, Jan Henrik Jonsson

Patent number: 10454795Abstract: Devices and processes perform a metrics aggregation process within the context of a serverless compute environment that includes a fleet of execution environment containers for executing ephemeral functions. In response to receipt of triggering events, functions, registered to handle the events, are launched in separate execution environments of an event-driven compute service. The functions generate metrics that are sent to the execution environment via a call (e.g., via asynchronous call) to the execution environment, and the functions may retire, without saving execution state for the function, and before the execution environment passes the metrics to an intermediate metrics aggregation service. The metric aggregation system receives the metrics generated by the fleet of instances of the function from the plurality of execution environments of the event-driven compute service, batch processes the metrics into an aggregated record, and transmits the aggregate record to a metrics reporting service.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jan Henrik Jonsson, Ryan Idrogo-Lam, Ryan Newcomb Durkin

Patent number: 10372208Abstract: An image sensing apparatus has a light sensitive area and a control unit. The light sensitive area registers image data in response to an incoming amount of light, and is operable in an active mode wherein image data can be read out there from as well as in a standby mode wherein image data cannot be read out. The control unit produces a control signal setting the light sensitive area to operate in the active mode and the standby mode respectively in a cyclic manner during an operation period, which preferably encompasses multiple data frame read-outs of image data from the light sensitive area.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Tobii ABInventors: Marten Skogo, Henrik Jonsson, Mattias O.

Patent number: 10296377Abstract: A computing resource service receives a request to execute a batch job. The computing resource service invokes a first compute instance to divide the batch job into a plurality of job fragments, where each job fragment comprises a respective subset of operations for the batch job that can be processed within a limited lifespan of a compute instance. The job fragments are distributed among a plurality of second compute instances to enable collective processing of the job fragments. The status of the batch job is determined based at least in part on individual statuses of the job fragments.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jan Henrik Jonsson, Ryan Newcomb Durkin, Grahem Cuthbertson, George Lin
