Patent number: 11900430Abstract: A buy-online pickup-in-store (BOPIS) order at risk of abandonment is saved by converting the order to same-day delivery. A risk deadline is established using a combination of cognitive prediction, a customer-specific time frame, order constraints, and real-time data. The cognitive prediction uses a customer profile having historical data pertaining to previous BOPIS orders from this customer. If the product is not picked up by the risk deadline, a check is made to see if same-day delivery is feasible. If so, a notification is transmitted to the customer with proposed delivery details. The notification can be sent at an optimal time based on previous notifications sent to the customer and time constraints related to the order, and using an optimal communication channel based on previous engagement rates with the customer over different communication channels. Once confirmation is received from the customer, the product is shipped, saving the sale.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Borja Canseco, John Kaufmann, Lisa Seacat DeLuca, Andrea Young

Patent number: 11227282Abstract: The disclosure relates to executing time bound activity chains using a baseline blockchain that encodes milestones and a realized blockchain that tracks activity relating to the milestones encoded on the baseline blockchain. Each project managed by the system may be scheduled using its own baseline blockchain, which stores time-bounded activity chains that encode milestones for that project. The realized blockchain stores performance related activity that validates and stores information indicating performance of actions related to milestones and automated transfer of value through the use of smart contracts. Each block of the realized blockchain not only references a prior block of the realized blockchain but also a corresponding baseline block, which encodes a milestone, in the baseline blockchain. Thus activity relating to progress toward a milestone may be recorded on a realized block, which refers back to a baseline block that specifies the milestone.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Probloch LLCInventor: Ananth Natarajan

Patent number: 11212316Abstract: Method and system embodiments for assessing control maturity in security operations environments are described. According to some embodiments, the method facilitates a nonintrusive, automated means to configure and detect security controls installed in an Information Technology (IT) environment. The system verifies that these controls function as expected over a specified period of time and then maps each security control to a cell in a matrix of operational functions crossed with asset classes. The system captures metrics for security control activity that are displayed in the matrix to facilitate an assessment of security control architectural maturity. The system automatically generates visual and textual reports that provide recommendations to improve cybersecurity by enhancing existing and adding new controls, specify a suggested timeline for introducing those controls, and document gaps in compliance.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Stephen Sweeney, Casey Corcoran, John Camp, Chris Wacker, Brit Wanick, Derek Gabbard
