  • Patent number: 10630633
    Abstract: An article articulating two different points of view is provided to a reader, with each point of view associated with a respective hashtag. Social media streams associated with social media outlets are also collected and analyzed to identify occurrences of the hashtags in the social media streams, and to collect and analyze information relating to those occurrences. Scoring parameter values are assigned to each occurrence, with each scoring parameter value based on the related information, such as an identity of a notable social media user associated with the occurrence. A weighted score value is generated based on the scoring parameter values for each hashtag, and the weighted score value is presented to the reader of the article in real time. Additional visual information, such as trend lines, identities of notable social media users associated with certain occurrences, and other information may also be provided to the reader in real time.

  • Publication number: 20190258977
    Abstract: An intermediate server synchronizes reporting data between a requestor computing device and an effector computing device. The server stores a plurality of event identifiers, and a plurality of reporting templates. Each template has a template identifier, and a mapping between a subset of the event identifiers and a set of reporting stages. The server, responsive to a production task request from the requestor device, obtains a selected templated identifier and generates a reporting data record for the production task request. The reporting data record includes fields for each stage defined by the selected template. After relaying the production task request to the effector device, the server receives reporting data from the effector device, containing values corresponding for a reported subset of the events. The server stores a portion of the values in the reporting data record according to the template; and transmits the reporting data record to the requestor device.
