  • Data mining electronic communications
    Patent number: 9529864
    Abstract: User insights derived from communication data may be provided. Communications associated with a user may be collected and analyzed to derive insights about the user. The insight may then be provided to the user, such as for modifying an application functionality, creating a message processing rule, providing new information to the user, and updating an application display or user interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Distributed algorithm for changing a shared value
    Patent number: 9106629
    Abstract: Each member of a group contributes to and calculates a new shared value. A distributed shared value algorithm is used to reach unanimous agreement on a shared value, such that every group member can use the new shared value as soon as it is changed. The distributed shared value agreement methodology operates without the selection of a leader. Each group member performs the distributed shared value agreement methodology and computes the new shared value using one or more of the contributions from the group members in such a way that no one member coerces the resulting shared value.

  • DISTRIBUTED ALGORITHM FOR CHANGING A SHARED VALUE
