Publication number: 20240095680Abstract: A method of implementing administrative services for a compensation platform is disclosed. One or more interactive compensation representation views are generated based on an evaluation of mapping rules against a flexible ontology and current data state, the flexible ontology comprising customizable compensation components, relationships, and properties. One or more compensation representation views are dynamically updated in real-time in response to changes in compensation data, user context, or access permissions without requiring manual regeneration of the one or more compensation representations. The one or more interactive compensation representation views include a user interface element displayed in response to a user selection of compensation data, wherein the user interface element provides direct access to compensation information relevant to the selected compensation data without requiring a change to another screen or another user context.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Jenna Nicole Soojin Lee, Ian William Richard, Laura Elizabeth Pearson, Christian Nguyen, Tovin Thomas, Adam Carter, David Achee, David Christopher Sally, Miranda Howitt, Vincent Yao, Seth Goldenberg, Aimee Jin Peng, William Qingdong Yan, Rahul Rangnekar, Matthew Stephen Wysocki, Michael Ryan Shohoney, Tyler Kowalewski, Ami Tushar Bhatt, Jeffrey Ryan Gurr, Cap Watkins, Ryan Maas, Asha Camper Singh, Leonardo Faria, Elliot Piersa Dahl, Nina Ojeil

Publication number: 20240095645Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user.

Patent number: 11521473Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, an audio/video (A/V) device that includes a first camera for generating first image data and one or more second cameras for both motion detection and generating second image data. For instance, the A/V device may generate and then store the second image data in one or more buffers. The A/V device may then detect an event, such as possible motion of an object. Based on detecting the event, A/V device may cause the one or more second cameras to cease generating the second image data and cause the first camera to begin generating the first image data. The A/V device may then process the second image data and send the processed second image data to a computing system. Next, the A/V device may process the first image data and send the processed first image data to the computing system.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew J.
