Publication number: 20240104234Abstract: Encrypted information retrieval can include generating a database that is partitioned into shards each having a shard identifier, and database entries in each shard that are partitioned into buckets having a bucket identifier. A batch of client-encrypted queries are received. The batch of client-encrypted queries are processed using a set of server-encrypted data stored in a database. The processing includes grouping the client-encrypted queries according to shard identifiers of the client-encrypted queries, executing multiple queries in the group of client-encrypted queries for the shard together in a batch execution process, and generating multiple server-encrypted results to the multiple queries in the group of client-encrypted queries. The multiple server-encrypted results for each shard are transmitted to the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Eli Simon Fox-Epstein, Kevin Wei Li Yeo, Sarvar Patel, Raimundo Mirisola, Craig William Wright

Patent number: 11755978Abstract: An end-user device operable in a retail store records a voice conversation held in the retail store. The recording is transmitted to a server for comparing it to recordings of other conversations from a plurality of other retail stores. The server makes a recommendation based on the comparing. Embodiments of the invention are also directed to an analytics system that collects real-time metrics data for various virtual or physical retail stores associated with a plurality of contact centers. The system performs real-time analytics of the collected metrics data for identifying a product or service. The processor modifies, based on the real-time analytics, a prior service or product to be offered by a particular retail store, with the identified service or product. The processor pushes the modified service or product for display on the end-user device use in the particular retail store.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Inventors: Eric Tamblyn, Simon Wright, Yochai Konig, Christopher Connolly, Chad David Hendren, Arnaud Lejeune

Patent number: 10102491Abstract: A system and method for aggregating a customer's anonymous online experience and associating it to the customer once the customer is known. A server monitors and aggregates data on anonymous interactions between a customer and a website. The collected data is stored in a data store in association with a code. The server detects occurrence of a trigger event as the data is collected, and the code is provided to the customer in response to detecting the trigger event. When the customer presents the code at the retail store, a retail store device sends a message including the code to the server. The retail store device also provides other identification information of the customer. The server may then associate the anonymous data to customer based on the identification information.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2014Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Inventors: Christopher Connolly, Chad David Hendren, Arnaud Lejeune, Eric Tamblyn, Simon Wright, Yochai Konig
