  • Publication number: 20230334390
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, from at least one first machine, telemetry data. The at least one first machine may be operable to transport materials from at least one material source location to at least one material destination location. The method may further include sending at least one command to at least one machine based on whether a predicted sequence of processing of materials by at least one second machine at the at least one material destination location violates at least one prohibited sequence of processing. The predicted sequence of processing may be based on at least one of: a predicted sequence of arrival of the at least one first machine at the at least one material destination location, material attribute data, destination queue data, or a score for the predicted sequence of arrival.

  • Patent number: 7346652
    Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for providing asynchronous validation of data entered into a field within a user interface is described. The method on a client information processing system provides two or more fields for entry of data within a client application. A field is a text field, button, menu or any other graphical user interface widget for entering data. Data entered into a first field is received. The client application automatically initiates the determination of whether the data entered into the first field is valid while concurrently allowing entry of data into other fields. This determination may be made in conjunction with a server application on a remote server information processing system. This step is repeated for all fields provided. Upon a finding that all data entered into the two or more fields is valid, the entered data is provided to the server information processing system.
