  • Patent number: 10592852
    Abstract: A multi-dimensional recommended order system generates recommended orders for configurable products. The multi-dimensional recommended order system generates the recommended orders based on a multi-dimensional demand and sales metrics analysis. The multi-dimensional recommended order system determines the recommended order for each product configuration with a goal of moving a future supply mix of complex products to an optimized target supply mix. The recommended order can be generated and evaluated based on demand analysis of not only configured products but also based on analysis for demand of particular product dimensions. Thus, the system determines a recommended order for each configurable product by minimizing imbalances between future supplies and target supplies of product configurations and future supplies and target supplies of dimensions of the product configurations.

    Abstract: A technique for enabling reduction in user operations. A program generating apparatus includes a control distribution unit and a communication function adding unit. The control distribution unit allocates respective control blocks of a control model to controllers, based on the control model received by a control model input unit, and setting information and connection information received by a setting information input unit. The communication function adding unit adds, when first and second ones of the control blocks are connected to each other, a communication control block to a connected part between the first and second control blocks, the first and second control blocks being allocated to different ones of the controllers in the allocated control model.

  • Patent number: 10031747
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system(s) and method(s) for registration of a custom component on a Stream Analytics Platform. The system is configured to receive a program file and one or more registration instructions corresponding to the custom component, from a primary user of the Stream Analytics Platform. Further, a program code may be extracted from the program file by parsing the program file. Further, the system is configured to register the program code as a registered custom component, on the Stream Analytics Platform based on the one or more registration instructions. Once registered, the registered custom component is available over a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the Stream Analytics Platform. The system enables at least the primary user or a set of secondary users of the Stream Analytics platform to use the registered custom component, based on the one or more registration instructions, for designing a distributed processing pipeline.

  • Patent number: 9898717
    Abstract: An online remittance service system with a methodology for predicting disbursement times of online electronic funds transfers is disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a method includes storing in computer memory a model of a disbursement process performed by one or more partners of the online remittance service for disbursing funds to payees in the destination country; based on the model, scheduling one or more computer-executable jobs with a job scheduling module representing one or more steps of the disbursement process; for each job of the one or more jobs, determining a next execution time for the job, the next execution time representing a time at which the job scheduling module will next execute the job after a specified time; and based on the next execution times for the one or more jobs, determining a predicted time of disbursement of the online electronic funds transfer.

  • Patent number: 9876652
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a technique is provided for automatically generating a custom user interface (UI) of a control device usable to control a home automation system. A configuration database is maintained, for example, on a host controller, of the home automation system. The configuration database stores logical representations that describe a configuration. The configuration database is transferred (e.g., downloaded) to a control device. The control device accesses the configuration database for one or more of the logical representations, and translates returned information related to the one or more of the logical representations to UI element, using predefined mappings. The controll device then displays the UI elements as a custom UI.

  • Patent number: 9823935
    Abstract: A system including one or more input interface drivers, an input dispatcher, one or more applications, a system compositor and one or more output interface drivers. The input interface driver receives input events. The input dispatcher is modified to dispatch a current input event to a corresponding application after receiving an indication that a display image based upon a previous input event has been posted to an output interface driver. The corresponding application renders a new display image based upon the current input event. The system compositor posts the new display image to the output interface driver. The system compositor is also modified to send an indication to the input dispatcher that the new display image has been posted to the output interface driver. The system iteratively performs the process to latch the dispatching of input events to the display flip.
