  • Patent number: 10853217
    Abstract: A performance engineering platform using one or more probes and one or more searchable tags is described. In an embodiment, a set of attributes of a system to be monitored are determined. Based on the attributes of the system, one or more probes that include functionality to detect data from the system are identified. Data is detected from the system using at least one of the probes. In an embodiment, one or more reports are obtained. The reports are based on data detected by a set of probes. An association between a particular searchable tag and one of the set of probes is received. Responsive to receiving the association between the particular searchable tag and the probe, report values, associated with a subset of the data detected by the probe, are identified. Further, the report values are tagged with the particular searchable tag.

  • Publication number: 20150356526
    Abstract: Disclosed is an inventive concept in the field of automated teller machines, frequently referred to as ATM's. The concept, referred to as a “micro-branch,” comprises a method of presenting a sequence of automated, interactive video presentations to a user who then performs desired financial transactions. In particular, the disclosed concept relates to a free-standing kiosk that can perform a plurality of financial transactions which, up to now, were only available at the main office or a branch office of the financial institution. The preferred embodiment of this concept is the design of a system specifically applicable to a credit union and its members, although similar transactions may be engaged in by customers of banks and other financial institutions. The functional characteristics of the concept include the user's selection of varied video “concierges” to provide intuitive-type assistance to the user of the system.
