Patent number: 11973779Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring a computing network to determine data exfiltration. A computing platform may use time-series modeling to determine anomalous network activity with respect to outgoing data. Additional aspects of this disclosure relate to analysis of web activities associated with a user to determine compromised user accounts/devices. The computing platform may use domain categorization to determine if web activity associated with a user is anomalous.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Kenneth A.

Patent number: 9396192Abstract: Systems and methods for tagging a media asset are provided. A plurality of communications is received from a plurality of users. Each of the plurality of communications includes words spoken by a respective one of the users while accessing the media asset and is associated with a media asset play position during which the respective words were spoken. A subset of the plurality of communications is selected for which the associated media asset play position is within a range of play positions, the range of play positions being shorter than the duration of the media asset. A word that a threshold number of the selected communications have in common is identified. The word is cross-referenced with an attribute database to retrieve an attribute associated with the word. The retrieved attribute is assigned to the media asset within the range of play positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: David John Wheatley, Kenneth Murphy

Patent number: 8990223Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for managing an aggregation database. Matching rules that describe filters may be defined to determine how to match a media content record received from an external source to a stored record in the aggregation database. Fuzzy matching may be used to match attribute fields of the received record and stored records. Based on the results of the fuzzy matching, the received primary media content record may be linked to a stored record in the aggregation database.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Mark A.

Publication number: 20140095341Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a custom media bundle are provided. In some embodiments, a quantity of media to be included in a custom media bundle is determined based on a user profile. A media content collection is selected, and from the media content collection a set of media assets containing a number of media assets corresponding the determined quantity is selected. A custom media bundle is generated that includes the selected set of media assets. In response to a user selection, one or more financial transactions are performed to grant the user access to the set of media assets of the custom media bundle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: UNITED VIDEO PROPERTIES, INC.Inventors: Thomas Steven Woods, Kenneth Murphy

Publication number: 20090171774Abstract: A method for displaying a plurality of mattresses according to a color scheme is provided. The method includes categorizing a plurality of mattresses into at least three different types based on features of the mattresses other than size (e.g., based on comfort or style), designating a different color for each type of mattress, and displaying each of the mattresses with the designated color, or an article having the designated color, for the particular mattress type. For example, the article may include a pillow and/or foot protector having the designated color displayed prominently for a customer's reference. The method may further include grouping at least a portion of the mattresses together within the showroom based on the type of mattress, and displaying one of each type of mattress in a common region (e.g., a comparison center) for side-by-side comparisons of the different types of mattresses by customers.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2007Publication date: July 2, 2009Inventors: Robert S.
