  • Patent number: 10803499
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining first sensor data from first sensors of first workspace devices and a first timestamp corresponding to the first sensor data. The first sensors of each workspace device may include a geolocation sensor. The first workspace devices may include an employee device corresponding to an employee. The method may further include obtaining task categories. Each task category may include a sensor data pattern. The method may further include calculating, for each task category, a first task distance between the sensor data pattern and the first sensor data. The method may further include determining a first task category based on the first task category having the first task distance that is shortest. The method may further include creating, based on the first task category, a first task instance with a start time equal to the first timestamp. The first task instance is assigned to the employee.

  • Patent number: 10163082
    Abstract: A method for collecting a payment. The method includes sending, to a payor, a request for the payment, wherein the request comprises an original payment amount and an original payment due date, generating, based on a set of payment collection records from an online financial management application used by payees, a payment statistical measure representing a payment behavior of payors paying the payees, generating, based on the payment statistical measure, the original payment amount, and the original payment due date, an adjusted payment amount and a condition to qualify the adjusted payment amount for completing the payment, enabling, prior to the payor completing the payment, the payor to view the adjusted payment amount and the condition, wherein the payor completes the payment in response to at least the payor viewing the adjusted payment amount and the condition, and collecting the payment completed by the payor.

  • Publication number: 20180018740
    Abstract: A method and system learns new forms to be incorporated into an electronic document preparation system. The method and system receive form data related to a new form having a plurality of data fields that expect data values based on specific functions. The method and system gather training set data including previously filled forms having completed data fields corresponding to the data fields of the new form. The method and system utilize machine learning in conjunction with the training set data to identify the correct function for each of the data fields of the new form.

  • Patent number: 9313344
    Abstract: In one example, a computer device includes one or more processors and a camera module coupled to the one or more processors. The camera module is configured to capture visual images. The one or more processors are configured to analyze image data of a visual image for identifying whether the visual image includes a visual feature, and produce a message which includes a visual feature indication and a location indication. The visual feature indication indicates whether the visual image includes the visual feature, and the location indication indicates a location at which the visual image was captured.

  • Patent number: 6611537
    Abstract: A network adapter for a synchronous logical ring network operates on existing physical twisted-pair telephone topologies. Information propagates around the logical ring, reaching every device on each revolution around the network. Network devices are full-duplex, transmitting and receiving information on every clock cycle. Network devices arbitrate to be elected the network clock device. By synchronizing all network devices to a single reference clock, and providing fixed frames of information propagating around the network at consistent time intervals, the logical ring network ensures that information propagates from one device to another at consistent time intervals. The fixed-length frames are divided into two independent streams: a data stream for the distribution of real-time continuous digital media streams; and a system command stream for the distribution of system commands.
