  • Publication number: 20240152972
    Abstract: Users that abandon GPS searches on GPS enabled devices before arriving at the search location are lost to business entities. The system uses the data obtained from abandoned GPS searches to identify these lost users. Sometimes a unique script embedded in the GPS application loaded onto the user's GPS enabled device scrapes the data from the GPS search and from user entries on the GPS enabled device. The system uses the obtained data to market or remarket to the lost consumers by sending personalized messages via a preferred communication medium.

  • Publication number: 20240097915
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented processes that, using a distributed notarized ledger, constrain an ability of multiple parties to simultaneously, or near simultaneously, update or modify elements of reference data maintained within a centralized data store. For example, an apparatus may receive, from a first computing system, a request to modify reference data maintained at a second computing system. The apparatus may approve the first requested modification to the reference data based on a notarization criterion maintained within an element of a notarized distributed ledger, and perform operations that record notarization data characterizing the approved modification within an additional element of the notarized distributed ledger. The apparatus may also transmit the notarization data to the first computing system, and the notarization data causing an application program executed by the first computing system to modify local reference data in accordance with the notarization data.

  • Patent number: 11927611
    Abstract: A system includes a sensor configured at a first position to sense an orientation of an electricity meter. The electricity meter can be configured at a second position. The electricity meter can be configured at a normal orientation to measure delivered energy sent to one or more locations and received energy received from the one or more locations. The electricity meter can be configured at an inverted orientation to identify and measure the delivered energy sent to the one or more locations and the received energy received from the one or more locations. The sensor is configured to identify when the electricity meter is in the normal orientation, and when the electricity meter is in the inverted orientation. A display is configured within the electricity meter.

  • Patent number: 10158596
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for proposing automatic corrections of online identifiers, such as an email address or a subject name of a directory entry or a certificate. In an embodiment, one or more computers store domain correction records. Each domain correction record comprises a misspelled domain name and candidate domain name corrections. The computers detect that an unprocessed online identifier is not contained in a plurality of known online identifiers. The unprocessed online identifier comprises a misspelled domain name. Each known online identifier of the plurality of known online identifiers comprises a domain name. The computers retrieve, based on the misspelled domain name of the unprocessed online identifier, from the plurality of domain correction records, a matching domain correction record having a same misspelled domain name as the unprocessed online identifiers. A client device displays the one or more candidate domain name corrections of the matching domain correction record.
