  • Publication number: 20230410059
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing events. A stream of event data for a plurality of events corresponding to an entity is received. A timeline for the plurality of events is generated based on the stream of the event data. A set of event chains is identified based on the timeline, the event data, and a set of policies. A trigger related to an event belonging to an event chain of the set of event chains is detected. A number of effects of the trigger is identified in which the number of effects includes at least one of a number of insights, a number of actions, or a number of opportunities.

  • Publication number: 20230385552
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for responding to a query using a neural network and natural language processing. If necessary, the system can request disambiguation, then parse the query using a trained machine-learning classifier, resulting in at least one of an identified subject or an identified domain of the text query. The system can determine if the user is authorized to retrieve answers to the query and, if so, retrieve factual data associated with the query. The system can then retrieve a response template, and fill in the template with the retrieved facts. The system can then determine, by executing a machine comprehension model on the filled response template, a probable readability token, portion of text, of at least a portion of the filled response template and, upon identifying that the probable readability is above a threshold, reply to the text query with the at least a portion of the filled response template.

  • Patent number: 11310224
    Abstract: A method, computer system and computer program product for authenticating a transaction is provided. A service provider receives a transaction between a user and a website displayed on a first device. The service provider identifies a first geolocation of the first device. The service provider generates a code for display on the first device. The service provider receives credential information to identify the user and the code from a second device. The service provider identifies a second geolocation of the second device, and determines a level of risk for the transaction based at in part on the first geolocation and the second geolocation. In response to the level of risk being an acceptable level of risk, the service provider authenticates the user. The service provider generates information to enable the user on the first device to perform the transaction with the website, and sends the information to the website.

  • Patent number: 11171924
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating communication between a client and a proxy server. A message is received from a client at a gateway. The message includes a uniform resource identifier that references an interface associated with a resource. The gateway transforms the uniform resource identifier into a context resource identifier that also references the interface. The gateway performs an initial authorization check for the client and a user of the client with respect to the interface. The gateway inserts the context resource identifier into the message to form a modified message in response to a successful initial authorization check. The gateway sends the modified message to the proxy server.

  • Patent number: 10623528
    Abstract: A method for increasing a speed of access to resources in an enterprise system. A gateway receives a request from the client to find a resource executed by a computer within the enterprise system. The gateway determines whether the client is authorized to find the resource. Responsive to authorization, the gateway instructs the proxy server to access an application programming interface (API) that controls communication between the resource and the proxy server, and instructs the API to query the resource to determine whether code used by the client to work with the resource should be transmitted to the client. The code is transmitted to the proxy server and from the proxy server to the gateway and from the gateway to the client via the network, wherein the speed of access to the resource is increased by avoiding communication with other resources in the enterprise system.

  • Patent number: 10348816
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating access to a plurality of resources is provided. A message that includes a context resource identifier is received at a proxy server from a client through a gateway in communication with both the client and the proxy server. Access to a resource associated with an interface that is referenced by the context resource identifier is controlled by the proxy server using a profile that is dynamically built for a user of the client based on a plurality of resource profiles received from a plurality of interfaces in communication with the proxy server.

  • Patent number: 10255378
    Abstract: Aspects define NoSQL database structures that support wide-column, document, and graph data models. Documents are defined with different, unique keys and stored to different rows in a wide-column store by mapping their respective, unique keys directly to different row keys. Columns are defined for the document rows as including pairs of names and values, each column field having a different column name. Graph edges are defined as a function of relationships between a first source document and a second of the documents as tuples of first source document keys, second document keys as targets, tags as labels of relationships, and values of objects associated with the relationships. The graph edges are stored as graph columns within rows of the first source documents with names that are different from names of other columns within the first source document rows.

  • Patent number: 9860346
    Abstract: A method beginning with adding new resource to an enterprise system. Responsive to adding, an API builder executed by the computer automatically builds a new API exclusively for the new resource. The new API is configured to manage communications between the new resource and the proxy server based on a context resource identifier provided by the API builder and stored in an identifier data structure. The context resource identifier is to be provided to the gateway in response to a request from the client to access the new resource using a uniform resource identifier that identifies to the new resource. The context resource identifier is static over time within the enterprise. A proxy server uses the context resource identifier to call the new API in order to access the new resource, whereby a speed of communication between the client and the new API is increased.

  • Patent number: 9760657
    Abstract: Task-based semantic searches fetch user profile data including a role of the user within an enterprise entity from log-in identity data of the user in response to receiving a query text input. Object and task search predicates limit, as a function of the user role, scopes of objects returnable from search of an object index, and tasks returnable from search of a task index, in satisfaction of the query text as a function of the user role. Task and object index searching results are matched into task and object pairs that are allowed by the user role as a function of the enterprise entitlement system, and the task and object pairs are presented to the user in a graphical user interface as task-object pair hypertext references that invoke the task of each pair as a callable action on the object of each pair.
