Patent number: 11496610Abstract: A network device receives a first configuration management message from a first network element, where the first configuration management message has a first data format. The network device translates the first configuration management message from the first data format to a Common Network Data (CND) model format to produce a first translated message, where the CND model format comprises a graph schema based on nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store configuration management message data. The network device stores the first translated message in a CND model format data structure for subsequent use in message querying, message comparison, message anomaly detection, or message discrepancy detection.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Randolph Torres, William J. Moran, Michael T. Bayne, Srinivasu Narumanchi, Syed Raza

Patent number: 10249001Abstract: A particular method includes creating a financial planning goal for a financial planning client based at least in part on a financial planning objective. A financial planning recommendation is associated with the financial planning goal, and data identifying the financial planning goal and the financial planning recommendation is stored in a data store. The method also includes monitoring activity of the financial planning client and at least one other financial planning client to detect a financial planning trend. In response to the detected trend, a financial planning product is selected for potential incorporation into subsequent recommendation(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2013Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: AMERIPRISE, FINANCIAL, INC.Inventors: William J.

Patent number: 9225603Abstract: Policy-based, on-demand provisioning of optical transport bandwidth is disclosed. In one of many possible embodiments, a system is provided for policy-based, on-demand provisioning of optical transport bandwidth. The system includes a layer-specific operation support subsystem (OSS) configured to manage network elements that form a sub-network over an optical transport network. The optical transport network provides bandwidth-on-demand provisioning capabilities. The layer-specific OSS includes one or more predefined bandwidth provisioning policies. The layer-specific OSS is configured to selectively request on-demand provisioning of bandwidth on the sub-network based on the predefined bandwidth provisioning policies.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Stephen S.
