Patent number: 11106741Abstract: A journal of operations persistently stores a collection of user and machine interactions with documents, concepts within documents, and relationships/mentions among such documents and concepts. A knowledge graph or other visual expression can be used to provide an interactive format for user interactions with this information, and to visually display the accumulated information in the journal of operations on user's device of choice. Such accumulations are often called aggregations or aggregates. Both human users and computer users such as automated recommendation engines, machine learning algorithms, and the like can interact with the journal of operations to facilitate computer-assisted discovery and organization of data around a topic of interest to the human user. The resulting journal of operations and aggregations of those operations such as a knowledge graph or other visual expression(s) also provides a useful medium for sharing knowledge with other users and collaborating on investigation of a topic.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Max Kleiman-Weiner, Andrew Richard Gallant, Jason Rastrick Briggs, Cogan Dwayne Culver, Kevin John Doyle, Thomas Michael DuBois, John Randolph Frank, Keith Michael Gabryelski, Andrew Wilson Haskell, David Zachary Maze, Geoffrey Ira Milstein, Emily Brooks Pavlini, Daniel Adam Roberts, Aaron Michael Taylor, Henry Forrest Leanna Wallace

Patent number: 11106699Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with updating data aggregation configurations and controlling data aggregation are described. Illustratively, a hierarchy of nodes is generated and displayed in a graphical representation of an energy supply network. The nodes store energy consumption data, and are selectable to identify where aggregations of the energy consumption data are to be performed. A settlement point is created to define an aggregation of the energy consumption data based on at least data from a plurality of the nodes identified from the hierarchy. The created settlement includes one or more characteristics selected from the database. The aggregation of the energy consumption data according to the settlement point is executed and controlled, and an electronic report including the aggregated energy consumption data is generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Brian Michel

Patent number: 11100164Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for displaying videos based upon selectable inputs associated with tags are presented. For example, a video may be identified. A transcript, associated with the video, may be determined. The transcript may comprise a plurality of text segments. The transcript may be analyzed to generate a plurality of sets of tags associated with the transcript. A plurality of selectable inputs may be generated based upon the plurality of sets of tags. A video interface, comprising the plurality of selectable inputs, may be displayed on a first device. A selection of a first selectable input may be received via the video interface. The first selectable input may be associated with a first tag of the plurality of sets of tags and a first time of the video. A second device may display the video based upon the first time of the video.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Verizon Media Inc.Inventors: Akshay Soni, Aasish Kumar Pappu

Patent number: 11093866Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable media for updating information stored in a database system over a network. In some implementations, first contact data is retrieved from a first virtual portion of a database system, where the first contact data provides first contact information associated with at least one entity. In some instances, the first contact data is compared with second contact data, where the second contact data provides second contact information associated with the at least one entity. In some instances, at least some of the second contact information is retrieved from a social networking system. In various implementations, at least one difference between the first contact data and the second contact data is identified, where the at least one difference is capable of being presented in a user interface displayed at a computer system. In some instances, a selection identifying contact data to store is received.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventor: Tyler A. Ziemann
