Publication number: 20200066040Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) system for generating AR-based profiles using an AR computing device and an AR display device is provided. The AR system is configured to detect a consumer computing device located at a predefined distance from the AR display device, and transmit an electronic request message to an electronic computer application stored on the consumer computing device. The AR system is also configured to receive an electronic response message from the consumer computing device, wherein the electronic response message includes AR consumer data, and retrieve, from a database, an AR-based profile associated with the consumer based on the AR consumer identifier. The AR system is further configured to transmit the AR-based profile in the form of AR data to the AR display device, and display the AR data on a display screen of the AR display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2018Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Rick Unnerstall, Ping X Chen, Brian Williams, Emily Marie Thompson, Ke Zhou, Zhenni Hu, Christopher Eric Mullen

Publication number: 20200051137Abstract: A system, computer-readable media and computer-implemented method for geo-verification of consumer reviews. The method may be carried out by one or more processor(s) configured to execute instructions of a software application stored on the computer-readable media. The method may include receiving consumer location data and generating a first one-time code. The first one-time code and a seller location identifier may be stored in an entry of a review code database, the seller location identifier reflecting a location of a consumer corresponding to the consumer location data. A second one-time code and at least a portion of a review may be received, the at least a portion of the review including a seller location reference. The entry including the seller location identifier may be identified, the seller location identifier corresponding to the seller location reference. The first one-time code of the entry may be matched to the second one-time code.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2018Publication date: February 13, 2020Applicant: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: Brian A.

Patent number: 10552389Abstract: Techniques are provided for orphan object detection, invalid sequence number detection, and asynchronous object cleanup. A storage system may store data within one or more tiers of storage, such as a storage tier (e.g., solid state storage and disks maintained by the storage system), a remote object store (e.g., storage provided by a third party storage provider), and/or other storage tiers. Orphan objects, within the remote object store, that are no longer used by the storage system may be detected and/or deleted. When an aggregate of volumes is deleted, corresponding objects, within the remote object store, may be identified and/or deleted. Invalid sequence numbers (e.g., lost or corrupt sequence numbers locally maintained in a metafile) assigned to objects within the remote object store may be identified, deleted, and/or fixed.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Oath Inc.Inventors: Ananthan Subramanian, Sridevi Jantli, Anil Paul Thoppil, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Qinghua Zheng

Patent number: 10489073Abstract: Techniques are provided for multi-tier write allocation. A storage system may store data within a multi-tier storage environment comprising a first storage tier (e.g., storage devices maintained by the storage system), a second storage tier (e.g., a remote object store provided by a third party storage provider), and/or other storage tiers. A determination is made that data (e.g., data of a write request received by the storage system) is to be stored within the second storage tier. The data is stored into a staging area of the first storage tier. A second storage tier location identifier, for referencing the data according to a format utilized by the second storage tier, is assigned to the data and provided to a file system hosting the data. The data is then destaged from the staging area into the second storage tier, such as within an object stored within the remote object store.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: NetApp Inc.Inventors: Ganga Bhavani Kondapalli, Kevin Daniel Varghese, Ananthan Subramanian, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Anil Paul Thoppil

Publication number: 20190347649Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating network transactions through use of browser extensions. One exemplary method includes accessing a virtual location associated with an entity through a web browser and receiving, from a user, a selection of a browser extension associated with the web browser, when at least one product is designated by the user at the virtual location. The method also includes calling a first application programming interface (API) associated with a virtual account platform, based on the selection of the browser extension, requesting virtual account information for the user from the virtual account platform, and displaying the virtual account information to the user. The method further includes calling a second API associated with the entity, requesting a transaction amount for the at least one product, and submitting a request for a network transaction based on the received virtual account information and the received transaction amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2018Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventors: Emily Marie Thompson, Corey M.

Publication number: 20190324844Abstract: Techniques are provided for remote object store error handling. A storage system may store data within one or more tiers of storage, such as a local storage tier (e.g., solid state storage and disks maintained by the storage system), a remote object store (e.g., storage provided by a third party storage provider), and/or other storage tiers. Because the remote object store may not provide the same data consistency and guarantees that the storage system provides for clients such as through the local storage tier, additional validation is provided by the storage system for the remote object store. For example, when data is put into an object of the remote object store, a verification get operation is performed to read and validate information within a header of the object. Other verifications and checks are performed such as using a locally stored metafile to detect corrupt or lost metadata and/or objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Ananthan Subramanian, Ganga Bhavani Kondapalli, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Kevin Daniel Varghese, Anil Paul Thoppil, Qinghua Zheng

Publication number: 20190189024Abstract: In one aspect, a task management computing device is provided, including a processor in communication a memory and a database. The task management computing device is configured to receive a task request including a task description and a virtual point value, and store a task record in the database based on the task request. The task management computing device is further configured to receive a task update indicating the task has been completed, and update a household member profile stored in the database based on the task update including increasing a virtual point balance. The task management computing device is also configured to update the associated task record based on the task update, and store the updated household member profile and the updated task record in the database.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Sai Sudha Venkata Chaganti, Emily Marie Thompson, Alvaro Lima
