  • Patent number: 11880943
    Abstract: The data set receiving unit 13 of the information processing apparatus 1 of an aspect example receives a data set that includes at least BIM data. The route setting processor 151 sets a route, which is arranged inside and/or outside a virtual building represented by the BIM data, based on the data set received. The virtual image set generating processor 152 generates a virtual image set of the virtual building along the route, based on the received data set and the set route. The inference model creating processor 153 creates an inference model by applying machine learning with training data that includes at least the generated virtual image set to a neural network. The inference model created is used to identify data of a building material from data acquired by measuring a building.

  • Patent number: 11824671
    Abstract: A conferencing system transmits a first graphical output associated with a conference to a client device for display without requiring the client device to connect to the conference. Prior to the client device connecting to the conference, the conferencing system receives a request for participant information of the conference.

  • Patent number: 11775768
    Abstract: The present invention allows text analysis and routing of an outgoing message. The system intercepts outgoing messages for analysis by a TAS software module. The module assigns an analytical score to the message, then compares the score to a threshold. If the score is below the threshold, the message is transmitted to its ultimate destination. If not, the message may be routed for correction by the message's composer or quality assurance staff. After such correction, the message new analytical score is generated and compared, and, if necessary, the process repeats again.

  • Patent number: 11544487
    Abstract: A method of confirming receipt, including iteratively capturing by a receiving device visual codes in a series of visual codes displayed on a sending device. A corresponding captured visual code being from a display block that resulted from a partition of an original data file into display blocks, and wherein each display block is converted to a corresponding string and header including an ordered identifying display block number and a total count of the display blocks. Each corresponding string is converted to a corresponding visual code. Each of the captured visual codes is converted into a corresponding string and a header is read for the corresponding string. Captured display blocks are determined. A confirmation message is generated including information indicating which display blocks have been received. The confirmation message is sent over a wireless communication link to the sending device to reduce the number of visual codes being displayed.

  • Patent number: 11290569
    Abstract: An information exchange platform receives a file from a client system and processes the file for delivery to a trading partner (TP) of the client system. The TP does not need to be a client of the information exchange platform. So long as the file has some identifying information such as an email address that uniquely identifies the TP within a custom solution for the client system, the information exchange platform can automatically and programmatically provision the TP. An auto-provisioning subsystem is operable to create and/or configure information needed to complete the processing of the file just in time, including creating a legal entity and a routing address for the TP. When completed, the file is processed into a deliverable, which is then provided for delivery to the TP just in time as the file is received from the client system.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining first and second data sets to be reconciled and, using matching rules, identifying discrepancies between the data sets. The matching rules include at least one permutation key, where each permutation key identifies a subset of data to be grouped together in one of the data sets. Identifying the discrepancies includes attempting to match one or more first characteristics associated with the grouped subset of data in one of the data sets to one or more second characteristics associated with another of the data sets. The matching rules could involve multiple matching characteristics, and the matching rules could be generated using a metric to select the matching characteristics of the matching rules. The metric could be based on a combination of a number of matched data items and a number of matched groups of data items.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, roles within a job based security model are refactored to roles within a task oriented security model. The task oriented security model comprises task roles, which allow access to functionality and data, and enabler roles, which provide limits on the scope of the task roles. Data such as user assignment data, role to functionality mapping, functionality authorization objects, user identity and organizational data may be combined and normalized to create a mapping of users to functionality and organizational data. A refactoring engine may then examine the map to identify new candidate roles using contiguous regions of the map. Tuning parameters and constraints allow tuning of the candidate roles, and statistical metrics allow evaluation of the candidate roles. Candidate roles may be tested and applied in the new system.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing customer document indexing and presentment for expedited loading, inserting, updating, and presenting documents within a database framework. The documents include customer documents based on customer interaction with the entity. Specifically, the invention receives electronic documents from sources within the entity. The invention expedites the loading/inserting of large quantities of documents to database tables for storage. Initially received data for loading is processed, via partitioning, onto temporary tables. The documents are staged and subsequently pointed to a destination base table for storage. In this way, a massive amount of data loading from the temporary table to a base table may occur. Once loaded, notification of the documents availability for customer access is then provided to the customer.
