Embodiments include predicting transactions by an entity and identifying promotions to offer the entity. Aspects include parsing a plurality of event records corresponding to a plurality of entities respectively. Aspects also include identifying a sequence of events corresponding to the entity and discretizing time durations and event values of the sequence of events into discrete symbolic values. Aspects further include generating a temporal pattern of events in the sequence of events, the temporal pattern including a sequence of transaction-symbols representative of the time duration and the event value of the events in the sequence of events of the entity and predicting a next transaction based on the temporal pattern.

A method for establishing correspondences between mobile communication users and their network accounts includes acquiring an identifier of one of the mobile communication users and access information corresponding to the identifier from a communication stream. The access information includes Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with network resources that have been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users. The method further includes acquiring a first set of network accounts associated with the URLs, and determining a second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users based on the first set of network accounts.

Correspondences establishment between mobile user and network accounts

According to the technical solution of an embodiment of the present invention, since content information is transmitted synchronously with the program scene, within the broadcast stream of data, media data, for example, advertisements, which may be of interest to the user, can be analyzed by selecting scenes at a granular level from the broadcast information. In one regard, the selected scene is being played currently, enhancing the relevance of the real-time analysis. In another regard, selecting a reduced granularity avoids statistical information overshadowing individual information. In this way, the accuracy of selecting media data with respect to a current user is improved.

Media selection based on content of broadcast information

In an approach for determining an unauthorized device, a computer receives detection information from a computing device, wherein the detection information includes a broadcast transmission from one or more devices. The computer creates a state trajectory map based on the received detection information, wherein the state trajectory map identifies connections between at least the computing device and a first device of the one or more devices and the computing device and a second device of the one or more devices. The computer one or more anomalies within the created state trajectory map. The computer determines an unauthorized device based on the determined one or more anomalies.

The present application discloses a method, apparatus and system for processing graphic objects in a flow diagram. Said method comprises obtaining a flow diagram and execution stage information generated when executing said flow diagram; obtaining a layout policy, wherein said layout policy at least designates the conditions for determining a primary path in the flow diagram using the execution stage information; determining the primary path using the execution stage information based on the layout policy; and displaying prominently said primary path during displaying said flow diagram. Owing to the present invention, the elements, such as a primary path, in a diagram in which a user takes interest can be found by the user easily to facilitate the user to understand the diagram. Furthermore, the diagram automatically arranged using the present invention is usually clear enough so that it is almost not required to be manually adjusted by the user.

Financial transformation in one aspect establishes a hub and spoke network of models including at least a process model as the hub and at least components model, value driver model, applications model, solutions models as the spoke connected to the process model. A plurality of correlations is inferred among said models using daisy-chain analysis that navigate the hub and spoke network of models, and heat map is generated. Heat map analysis, application shortfall analysis, organization shortfall analysis, solution analysis, and business case analysis are performed.

System and method for financial transformation

Irregular food manufacturing detection by using conversion pattern in one aspect generates one or more rules associated with amount of resources used to manufacture a food product, collects data associated with a selected manufacturing process of the food product at a selected manufacturer and determines whether the collected data complies with the generated one or more rules. Irregularity may be identified if the collected data does not comply with the generated one or more rules.

Detection of irregularity in food manufacturing by using conversion pattern

A script-based application generation for spreadsheet software reads from one or more spreadsheets rendered by a spreadsheet program, description written in said text-based language, the text-based language for describing user interfaces, data models and/or workflow models or combinations thereof. The text-based language is independent of the spreadsheet program. The description is parsed and from the description one or more user interfaces, data model or workflow model or combinations thereof are generated in the spreadsheet program.

System and method for platform-independent, script-based application generation for spreadsheet software

A method and system for determining one or more shortfalls of one or more business components by multiple dimensions for business transformation, in one aspect define a plurality of shortfall types associated with a plurality of business components, define a plurality of dimensions of the plurality of business components, construct a shortfall assessment model for the plurality of dimensions, load a business model associated with the plurality of business components, compute shortfall assessment by performing a daisy chain analysis using the shortfall assessment model and the business model for said plurality of shortfalls and associated shortfall types, and presenting the shortfall assessment using visualization.
