US Patent:

20170286599, Oct 5, 2017

Filed:

Mar 31, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/086379

Inventors:

- Alpharetta GA, US
Chris Patterson - Oakland CA, US

Assignee:

Change Healthcare LLC - Alpharetta GA

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A method, computer system and computer program product are provided to associate a record of a person and pre-existing records utilizing multiple matching strategies. The implementation of a plurality of matching strategies includes identifying link(s) between the record of the person and pre-existing records based upon an analysis pursuant to the respective matching strategy of demographic attributes of the person and respective individuals associated with the pre-existing records. The implementation of the plurality of matching strategies also includes associating the record of the person and a set of pre-existing records based upon the respective matching strategy. A relationship is then defined between the person and respective individuals associated with one or more sets of pre-existing records as defined by at least one of the plurality of matching strategies.

International Classification:

G06F 9/50

Abstract:

An event-driven system, method and computer program product are provided to selectively generate events in response to receipt of data elements. The event-driven system includes processing circuitry configured to identify, in response to receipt of one or more data elements, an event that is impacted by the one or more data elements. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether at least a threshold number of consumers are currently listening for the event. In an instance in which at least a threshold number of consumers are currently listening for the event, the processing circuitry is configured to perform one or more computations based upon the one or more data elements to generate the event. Otherwise, however, the processing circuitry is configured to at least defer the one or more computations that would be performed upon the one or more data elements to generate the event.

Abstract:

Embodiments are disclosed for improving throughput in a distributed transaction processing system. In the context of a method, an example embodiment includes receiving information regarding a change in state of a particular transaction recorded by the distributed transaction processing system. This example embodiment of the method further includes updating, by state machine query circuitry of a networked device within the distributed transaction processing system and based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction. Finally, the example embodiment of the method further includes updating, by state machine query circuitry of a networked device within the distributed transaction processing system and based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract:

A fault-tolerant retry subsystem, method and computer program product are provided in order to automatically retry to deliver a message. In the context of a fault-tolerant retry subsystem, processing circuitry is provided to receive notification that delivery of a message to a subscriber has failed. The processing circuitry also defines a time interval at which delivery of the message is to be retried. The message is to be subjected to a plurality of retry attempts in an instance in which the delivery of the message to the subscriber continues to fail. The time interval is defined in a manner that depends upon which of the plurality of retry attempts is to be performed. As such, the time interval varies between at least some of the retry attempts. The processing circuitry causes the delivery of the message to be retried following expiration the time interval.
