  • Patent number: 12169503
    Abstract: The subject matter herein provides a method, apparatus and computer program product that combines, in one intuitive interface, visualization user interfaces (UIs) as used for descriptive analytics, with workflow UIs as used for predictive analytics. These interfaces provide a visual workspace front-end. The workspace is coupled to a back-end that comprises a data processing engine that combines progressive computation, approximate query processing, and sampling, together with a focus on supporting user-defined operations, to drive the front-end efficiently and in real-time. The processing engine achieves rapid responsiveness through progressive sampling, quickly returning an initial answer, typically on a random sample of data, before continuing to refine that answer in the background. In this manner, any operation carried out in the platform immediately provides a visual response, regardless of the underlying complexity of the operation or data size.

  • Patent number: 12169507
    Abstract: A compaction policy imposing soft limits to optimize system efficiency is used to select various rowsets on which to perform compaction, each rowset storing keys within an interval called a keyspace. For example, the disclosed compaction policy results in a decrease in a height of the tablet, removes overlapping rowsets, and creates smaller sized rowsets. The compaction policy is based on the linear relationship shared between the keyspace height and the cost associated with performing an operation (e.g., an insert operation) in that keyspace. Accordingly, various factors determining which rowsets are to be compacted, how large the compacted rowsets are to be made, and when to perform the compaction, are considered within the disclosed compaction policy. Furthermore, a system and method for performing compaction on the selected datasets in a log-structured database is also provided.

  • Patent number: 12169515
    Abstract: A document search system that enables efficient document search regardless of the ability of a user is achieved. Document search is performed using a document search system in which database document data is stored. After first document data and second document data are input to the document search system, the document search system extracts a plurality of terms from the first document data. The extraction of the terms is performed using morphological analysis, for example. Next, the extracted terms are weighted on the basis of the second document data. For example, texts included in a document represented by the second document data are classified into first and second texts. Among the terms extracted from the first document data, the weight of the term included in the first text is set larger than the weights of the other terms. The classification of the texts can be performed in accordance with a rule basis or using machine learning.

  • Patent number: 12169530
    Abstract: Embodiments disclose a system that allows for improved generation of web requests for scraping that, because of the nature of the requests and time and manner they are sent out, appear more organic, as in human generated, than conventional automated scraping systems. The system then manages how a client request to scrape a target website is made to the site, masking the request in a manner that makes it appear to the Web server as if the request is not generated by an automated system. In this way, by appearing more organic, Web servers may be less likely to block requests from the disclosed system or may take longer to block requests from the disclosed system. By avoiding Web servers blocking requests and extending the lifetime of IP proxies before they are blocked, embodiments can use a limited IP proxy address space more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 12169537
    Abstract: A scope-based access control system includes a systems manager that is executed to receive a request to perform an operation on one of multiple computing devices in which the request includes a session identifier associated with an established session of a user who issued the request. The systems manager forwards the request and the session identifier to a global authentication authority. The global authentication authority responds to the request by issuing a claim that specifies a computing device group that the session is authorized to access. The systems manager receives the claim specifying a computing device group from the global authentication authority. The systems manager then performs the operation based on whether the one computing device is included in the computing device group.

    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for biometrically authenticating a user for an apparatus. User biometric data is generated via a biometric capture device. A processor processes the user biometric data to generate one or more biometric templates. A memory stores the biometric templates and one or more previously generated biometric templates. A biometric manager module associates executable applications with respective biometric templates, wherein the processor matches one of the biometric templates with the previously generated biometric templates to determine if the matched biometric template is associated with the executable application. The processor generates at least one of a password and/or a cryptographic key for allowing access to the associated executable application based on the matched biometric template.

  • Patent number: 12169545
    Abstract: An identity provider (IdP) defines an interface for obtaining device posture signals in a flexible manner. Third-party signal providers author plugins that conform to the defined interface and make the plugins available to the organizations that use their services. The plugins incorporate the third-party signals into the authentication logic of the IdP, allowing the authentication logic to obtain organization-defined information about client device posture of the client devices on which user authentication is taking place. This permits different organizations that use the IdP to tailor their authentication processes to the particular types of signals available to them, and to their own particular organization policies. This allows, for example, conformity to organization policies such as user data use policies.
