  • Patent number: 12218995
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for improving utilization of a communications system through various atom-based techniques for enhancing the viewing experience for Internet protocol content. Some embodiments exploit atom-based processing to determine which content atoms to broadcast (e.g., multicast) over which channels to which subscribers. Other embodiments make atom-based filtering, caching, and/or other determinations at the user terminal. For example, low-level (e.g., physical layer) filtering may be used to limit the amount of user-layer processing needed, and to facilitate delivery of content to those users most likely to desire that content. Still other embodiments allow users to create customized channels of cached content for viewing as a shared channel. Embodiments include techniques for addressing synchronization of channel content and viewing, and social networking, for subscribers to the shared channel.

  • Patent number: 12079620
    Abstract: A new declarative approach to business intelligence (BI) and reporting focuses on streamlining the embeddability of BI and reporting (BIR) into an application (e.g., web, mobile, etc.) and allows a developer to use a REST API and declare, via a YAML file, the type of BIR dashboard, report, metric or set of metrics desired. A YAML descriptor interpreter interprets the YAML file, collaborates with a BIR server at the backend to dynamically construct the requested content, and repackages and returns the requested content in a REST API response. This new method allows application developers to avoid any need of pre-designing reports, dashboards, etc., and eliminates the need of application developers to embed client-side scripting libraries, significantly reduces the amount of effort, time, and complexity in using a BI and reporting service. Application developers simply declare what they need, and the service returns the content exactly as described in the request.

  • Patent number: 12062101
    Abstract: The system creates a first start time and a first recording of a first user interface with which a user is interacting. Upon determining that the user is not interacting with the first user interface, the system creates a first end time, a second start time, and a second recording of a second user interface with which the user is interacting. Upon obtaining an indication to create a second end time, the system creates the second end time. The system calculates a first difference between the first end time and first start time and a second difference between the second end time and second start time. The system obtains a first task and second task associated with the first recording and second recording, respectively. Based on the first and second differences and the first and second tasks, the system creates a first and a second time entry, respectively.

  • Patent number: 12020297
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for relevance-based schema matching for targeted catalog enrichment are disclosed. A catalog management system determines textual descriptors associated with a category of items in a catalog. The system determines relevant attributes for the category based (at least in part) on analysis of the textual descriptors. The relevant attributes are selected from a larger set of candidate attributes for the category. The system modifies the catalog based (at least in part) on schema matching for a plurality of items in the category. The items are associated with descriptive terms from a plurality of data sources and expressed according to a plurality of source schemas. For an individual item, the schema matching determines a correspondence between one or more of the descriptive terms in one of the source schemas and a corresponding attribute in a target schema comprising the relevant attributes.
