  • Patent number: 11170311
    Abstract: Techniques and a system are provided for generating correlations based on inferred behavior by an inferred event detection system executing on a mobile computing device. Inferred events are events that are detected without an explicit input to the mobile computing device. The inferred events are further classified by the inferred event detection system.

  • Patent number: 10861084
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating search data for items in an e-procurement system is provided. In various embodiments, a digital image is created or selected and data comprising search key data is generated based on the digital image.

  • Patent number: 10733676
    Abstract: Techniques for using a graphical user interface to automatically generate expense lines from images are described herein. According to an embodiment, a server computer causes storing in a data repository, data identifying a plurality of users, the data comprising feature data extracted from one or more images of the users. The server computer receives a digital photographic image captured using a camera in a mobile computing device. The server computer identifies one or more faces in the digital photographic image and determines that the one or more faces in the digital photographic image match a particular user. The server computer generates and stores an expense line in an expense data table in the data repository, the expense line comprising an identification of the particular user.
