Patent number: 12112297Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach to process data and events from disparate ecosystems pertaining to products. An approach is provided to automatically cluster events from various ecosystems into noteworthy incidents and to correlate them with entities extracted from each system. Incidents are correlated between ecosystems to classify the type of incidents and to give a coherent converged picture of the event streams coming from the various ecosystems. Noteworthy incidents are automatically converted into tickets and their severity is ascertained from the associated incidents. Tickets that reference underlying defects with the product or service are converted into issues.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: DevRev, IncInventors: Dheeraj Pandey, Manoj Agarwal, Brent Chun, Bhavana Thudi, Ken Chen, Nimar Arora, Brian Byrne, Steven Poitras, Anindya Misra, Jan Olderdissen

Patent number: 12099509Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing constraint driven database searching. At least one constraint is received for a search of one or more databases comprising one or more datasets, each comprising multiple entry fields. The one or more databases comprising the one or more datasets may be accessed and searched based on the constraint to identify one or more dataset entries that contain the at least one constraint in one of multiple entry fields. A visual representation of the identified dataset entries may be provided to the user as results of the constraint driven database search. Additional constraints may be accepted to further narrow the results of constraint driven database search. The results may be exported and made accessible for later retrieval and/or cached for use in subsequent searches.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Sander Kromwijk, Haithem Turki, Stephen Cohen, Yixun Xu, Feridun Arda Kara
