  • Publication number: 20240134918
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic user profile projection are provided. One or more aspects of the systems and methods includes computing, by a prediction component, a predicted number of lookups for a future time period based on a lookup history of a user profile using a lookup prediction model; comparing, by the prediction component, the predicted number of lookups to a lookup threshold; and transmitting, by a projection component, the user profile to an edge server based on the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20240134919
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic user profile management are provided. One aspect of the systems and methods includes receiving, by a lookup component, a request for a user profile; computing, by a profile component, a time-to-live (TTL) refresh value for the user profile based on a lookup history of the user profile; updating, by the profile component, a TTL value of the user profile based on the request and the TTL refresh value; storing, by the profile component, the user profile and the updated TTL value in the edge database; and removing, by the edge database, the user profile from the edge database based on the updated TTL value.

  • Publication number: 20190164176
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide for evaluating merchant business intelligence information. In certain embodiments, a system is disclosed to aggregate data relating to one or more merchants, customers, and/or transactions into a first data repository. The systems and methods receive a first request from a first client device, the first request including a parameter identifying one or more categories. The systems and methods determine that the first request is compatible with a data repository. The systems and methods the aggregated data of the data repository according to the parameter. The systems and methods also provide to a client device the filtered aggregated data.

  • Patent number: 9660389
    Abstract: Low cost ground connections for standard connectors and connectors having reduced pin counts. One example may provide a connector system including a connector insert having a plurality of contacts along a top or bottom, or both top and bottom, of a connector insert, where first contacts in the plurality of contacts may be used to convey power, ground, or data and where second contacts in the plurality of contacts are used for ground. The second contacts may be arranged to have contacting portions that are positioned in the insert at different heights relative to the top or bottom of the connector insert and at different depths relative to a front opening of the connector insert.

  • Patent number: 9357654
    Abstract: A cable assembly including a connector insert to fit in a connector receptacle in an electronic device, where a back surface of the connector insert is substantially flush with an outside of an enclosure for the electronic device. One example may provide a cable assembly that includes a connector insert formed by wrapping a flexible circuit board at least partially around a housing. The flexible circuit board may be routed against an underside of the electronic device such that it does not obstruct a user, consume space in a display area, or have an undesirable appearance.
