  • Patent number: 11381486
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for electronically conditioning transmission of communications based on results of a connection assessment. An electronic file is executed at an electronic device, which causes a first query and a second query to be presented. A first query response and a second query response are identified. The first query response is stored in a locked configuration that inhibits the ability to modify the first query response to the first query. The second query response is stored but is not stored in the locked configuration. Query response data is generated that includes an identifier of the second query, an identifier of the second query response and an identifier of the electronic device. A connection variable is determined by assessing one or more network connections available to the electronic device. When a transmission condition is satisfied, the query response data is transmitted to another device.

  • Patent number: 11372709
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically resolving computerized electronic communication anomalies are disclosed herein. The system can include a memory including an error database containing information identifying a plurality of previous detected errors and configuration information associated with those errors. The system can include a plurality of user devices. Each of these plurality of user devices can include: a first network interface to exchange data via the communication network; and a first I/O subsystem to convert electrical signals to user interpretable outputs via a user interface. The system can include a server that can: receive an indication of the initiation of electronic communication; receive an electrical signal including attribute information; receive an error message; identify a trend in error messages; and provide an error solution if a trend is identified.

  • Patent number: 11238754
    Abstract: The present invention automatically replaces in an assessment response a string of mathematical symbols determined to be ambiguous with an unambiguous string of mathematical symbols. An editing tool may receive an assessment response from a client over a communication network. The assessment response may comprise i) a text with a mathematical meaning and ii) a string of mathematical symbols. The text and the string of mathematical symbols represent different non-overlapping characters in the assessment response. The editing tool may match the string of mathematical symbols with a known ambiguous string of mathematical symbols and determine the mathematical meaning in the text of the assessment response. The editing tool may replace the string of mathematical symbols determined to be ambiguous with an unambiguous string of mathematical symbols to generate an updated assessment response. The editing tool may transmit the updated assessment response to the client for display.
