Abstract: Various systems and methods are presented regarding implementing one or more capabilities into a dialog flow occurring at an automated interface (e.g., a chatbot). A capability can be invoked at the interface in accordance with a user's requirements, e.g., the capability is a function to review data. An application programming interface (API) can be generated from the capability, wherein the API has features, parameters, metadata, etc., generated based on those of the capability. The API can be incorporated into a dialog, wherein the dialog can be subsequently presented on the interface (e.g., as part of a dialog flow). Interaction between the user and the dialog can cause the capability to be executed. Based upon the API features, etc., the API can be incorporated into a dialog, for example, by cloning a dialog, appending a dialog with the API, replacing a pre-existing API with the API in a dialog, and suchlike.

Abstract: A method includes generating a first shortest path tree for traffic routing in a network, the first shortest path tree identifying a corresponding shortest path from the network node to other nodes in the network and generating a second shortest path tree for traffic routing after removing an element from the network. The second shortest path tree identifies a corresponding shortest path from the network node to the other nodes in the network with the element removed. A third shortest path tree is generated, which is a weighted version of the second shortest path tree with a weight value added to any node or link in the network sharing a SRLG value with the element removed from the network. Network traffic is enforced based on a comparison of the third shortest path tree with at least one of the first shortest path tree and the second shortest path tree.

Abstract: A building management system, such as a small or medium business, having one or more control devices. Assigning codes to devices, and reading and listing them may aid in configuring the devices. Templates may be used for dynamic configuration of devices and equipment. Representing terminal assignments and wiring diagrams of control devices may be intuitive in that they resemble real hardware for ease of complete installation. The present system and approach may provide an intuitive way of securely registering devices with cloud usage, for example, involving a mobile phone with no manual entry of data so that a user can complete this process with ease. An intuitive, automatic and asynchronous device configuration downloading may be seen, such as to multiple control devices in a single shot. There may be seamless configuration data synchronization, for example, in view of replacement devices, or so the latest data is readily available.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a query gateway system that provides an efficient and flexible framework for providing context-retained autosuggest queries from an autosuggest query system (e.g., a search engine query experience) to a generative language model system (e.g., an AI chat experience). For instance, the query gateway system establishes a framework to leverage the features and services of the autosuggest query system and automatically provides context-retained queries to the generative language model system using separate user interfaces that do not disrupt user navigation or require manual duplicative user input. Additionally, the query gateway system incorporates additional enhancements, including an AI chat eligibility model and a query reformulation model, to improve the computational efficiency and accuracy of the AI chat system.
