  • Patent number: 11954458
    Abstract: An automated system and method of converting legacy decision logic to a target format. The legacy files are received by the decision logic translation system, which outputs the business rule content in a standard rule structure, according to the selected target format. The process involves decision logic-based rule extraction. In general, methods or processes for extracting business rules have been difficult to reproduce and do not present clearly the extracted rules regarding the concepts of business rules, their composition and categorization. These drawbacks lead to incomplete extraction of rules and massive manual effort to achieve a complete extraction and verification. In contrast, the proposed system overcomes these drawbacks, and outputs files that can be easily used to migrate the business rules to a new platform.

  • Patent number: 11947902
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model using a multi-turn process to generate a suggested draft reply to a selected message. A first turn of the multi-turn process uses a shorter prompt including at least a portion of the body of the selected message and that requests multiple draft replies from the AI model. The resulting AI-generated draft replies are shortened, summarized, and/or otherwise converted into a plurality of shortened summaries that are presented as reply options to a user. Upon selecting a shortened summary, a more robust prompt is generated in a second turn with the AI model with the selected reply option to generate a more complex suggested draft reply to the selected message. Additionally, various customization options are provided, which when selected, reframe a query presented to the AI model to generate a more relevant and personalized response.

  • Patent number: 11900916
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and computer readable media for dynamically determining a language variant to use for vehicle output to a vehicle occupant based on the vehicle's location. A geographic region may include multiple sub-regions, each of which may be associated with a respective one or more language variants. As an example, a geographic region may be a state or province, and each sub-region may have one or more dialects that are spoken by individuals in that sub-region. In some cases, a particular dialect may be predominant in a given sub-region. As a vehicle traverses a travel path, it may determine its current location, which geographic sub-region includes that location, and which language variant (e.g., dialect) is predominant there. That language variant may then be selected for in-vehicle communication with a vehicle occupant. The vehicle location determination may be made at or near where the occupant entered the vehicle.
