  • Patent number: 11494831
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating customer ID within an E-commerce platform are provided. Based on customer interactions with the e-commerce platform, evidence is collected, such as telephone numbers, names, addresses etc. The evidence is standardized to allow comparison/correlation. The evidence is then filtered to remove certain evidence determined to be unreliably associated with specific customers. For example, many customers may enter a fake phone number “0000000000”. Then, correlation is performed based on the filtered evidence to identify links between the evidence and associate sets of linked evidence with unique customer IDs.

  • Publication number: 20220020055
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing messaging campaigns are disclosed. A set of parameters are received for a proposed messaging campaign. Based on a trust indicator associated with the proposed messaging campaign, it is determined that the proposed messaging campaign should be blocked. At least one tracked message is transmitted to at least one selected recipient, where the tracked message is at least a subset of messages for the proposed messaging campaign. If a rejection metric associated with the tracked message passes a rejection threshold, messages are transmitted to the remaining recipients.

  • Publication number: 20090147698
    Abstract: An automatic network discovery method and device enables network peer nodes to discover one another. A node entering a network has the burden of initiating a connection to peers potentially existing on the network. The incoming node and potential peer nodes each keep a persistent list of at least one potential peer node called a seed list, which is used at startup or restart to initially populate a peer list also kept by each node. The incoming node sends a connection request to the potential peers in its peer list. Through the connection requests and responses to the requests from the potential peer nodes, nodes exchange connection information regarding one another and other potential peer nodes on the network, which is stored in their respective peer lists.
