Patent number: 11048488Abstract: The invention provides, in some aspects, methods of optimizing an app for execution on a client device by identifying components of the app used in such execution by a user having a designated role who accesses the app for download via a designated portal. A component can be, for example, a source code file or portion thereof, including, for example, a portion defining a widget or other user interface element. For each component, the method (i) identifies source code files on which execution of that component depends, e.g., in connection with execution of the particular app by the particular user, and (ii) generates a dependency-ordered stack of the source code files for that component. In further accord with those aspects of the invention, the method combines the dependency-ordered stacks into a single such stack and transfers the source code in an order specified by that stack to the client device for loading and execution.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Pegasystems, Inc.Inventors: Timothy J. Martel, Nigel Johnson, Paul Gagnon, John Arnold

Publication number: 20210133951Abstract: Systems and methods for determining similarities between an input data set and a target data set with the data sets being vector representations of the features of a candidate potential copy and a target original. A feature extraction module receives an image of the potential copy and extracts the features of that candidate. The features of the target original may already be extracted or may be separately extracted. The resulting data sets for the candidate and the original are then passed through a decision module. The decision module determines a level of similarity between the features of the candidate and the features of the original. The output of the decision module provides an indication of this level of similarity and, depending on this level of similarity, an alert may be generated. A report module may be included to provide an explanation regarding the level of similarity.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2019Publication date: May 6, 2021Applicant: ELEMENT AI INC.Inventors: Boris ORESHKIN, Bahador KHALEGHI, Francois MAILLET, Paul GAGNON

Publication number: 20200074232Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting data from multiple sources. A server receives a data request for desired content from a requestor. The server generates a request for data objects containing that content and displays that request to at least one potential data provider. The at least one data provider provides a data object in response to the request. In some embodiments, the data provider may label the provided data object. In further embodiments, labels may replace sensitive personal information on the data. The data objects may be obtained by the data providers using their personal portable computing devices. In some embodiments, data providers may upload data objects that are not directed to a specific request. These data objects may then be associated with later data requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Marat GUBAIDULLIN, Simon MAXWELL-STEWART, Paul GAGNON
