| 20110125635 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING DISTRIBUTOR INFORMATION - An embodiment of the invention provides a system that enables financial services companies to manage and track information about a sales force. The system includes components for managing distributors information, for validating and tracking licenses and credentials, for creating customized contracts, and for maintaining compensation structures. The system allows for configuring compensations, providing financial services companies a toolkit for creating and modeling their complex commission schedules used to compensate their sales force. The system also provides modeling tools for agreements and contracts between a financial services company or provider and the distributors who sell products. The system has a multi-component architecture comprising multiple modules, multiple data processing engines, a backbone and multiple data sources. The processing modules carry out information processing using one or more data processing engines. The data processing provides the tools to fetch data from the databases and process it. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110231197 | FRAMEWORK FOR PROCESSING SALES TRANSACTION DATA - A framework that enables financial services companies to manage and track information about a sales force is provided. The framework includes object models for managing distributors information, for validating and tracking licenses and credentials, for creating customized contracts, and for maintaining compensation structures. The framework allows for configuring compensations, providing financial services companies a toolkit for creating and modeling their complex commission schedules used to compensate their sales force. The framework also provides modeling tools for agreements and contracts between a financial services company or provider and the distributors who sell their products. The framework has a multi-component architecture comprising multiple modules, multiple data processing engines, a backbone and multiple data sources. The processing modules carry out information processing using one or more data processing engines. The data processing provides the tools to fetch data from the databases and process it. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20120130877 | Method And Apparatus For Processing Sales Transaction Data - A system provides a way to manage agreements that institutions such as financial services companies have with distributors who sell their products. Each distributor has a plurality of sales representatives that earn commissions for selling such products. The commissions earned and any other constraints imposed on the sales representatives may be defined within a selling agreement. The system can generate each selling agreement utilizing a set of components representative of the type of agreement formed between the institutions and the distributor. The components of each selling agreement contain an associated rule set that enables a configuration engine to generate an appropriate document. The system also contains a set of regulatory conditions for each sale made by the sales representatives. The system may be utilized to process sales transaction data to ensure that selling agreement terms are followed and that regulations for each sale are satisfied. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20130013467 | Method And Apparatus For Net-Pay And Debt Consolidation - A method and apparatus for consolidating net-pay and debt management of a sales representative or sales team is presented. A party associated with the sales representatives may obtain debts and specify rules on payment of those debts which can be tracked back to the domain (e.g., agreements, rules, sale item, etc.). The ledger items created for that distributor by the commission engine are typically processed to distribute payments into accounts specified by the distributor and to pay debts obtained by the distributor. Available money may be split into various methods of payments for a distributor. These splits can be tracked by adding various constraints. The system allows the user to model the payment rule/constraints. Payment splits support pay-outs to alternate payee from funds of a distributor. The distributor may specify deduction rules which can be applied to the distributors earning to facilitate deductions for items. | 01-10-2013 |

| 20110185358 | PARALLEL QUERY ENGINE WITH DYNAMIC NUMBER OF WORKERS - Partitioning query execution work of a sequence including a plurality of elements. A method includes a worker core requesting work from a work queue. In response, the worker core receives a task from the work queue. The task is a replicable sequence-processing task including two distinct steps: scheduling a copy of the task on the scheduler queue and processing a sequence. The worker core processes the task by: creating a replica of the task and placing the replica of the task on the work queue, and beginning processing the sequence. The acts are repeated for one or more additional worker cores, where receiving a task from the work queue is performed by receiving one or more replicas of tasks placed on the task queue by earlier performances of creating a replica of the task and placing the replica of the task on the work queue by a different worker core. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20120066250 | CUSTOM OPERATORS FOR A PARALLEL QUERY ENGINE - Embodiments are directed to implementing custom operators in a query for a parallel query engine and to generating a partitioned representation of a sequence of query operators in a parallel query engine. A computer system receives a portion of partitioned input data at a parallel query engine, where the parallel query engine is configured to process data queries in parallel, and where the queries include a sequence of built-in operators. The computer system incorporates a custom operator into the sequence of built-in operators for a query and accesses the sequence of operators to determine how the partitioned input data is to be processed. The custom operator is accessed in the same manner as the built-in operators. The computer system also processes the sequence of operators including both the built-in operators and at least one custom operator according to the determination indicating how the data is to be processed. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120324431 | PATTERN-BASED COMPILATION OF ASYNCHRONOUS CONSUMPTION - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for transforming source code to await execution of asynchronous operations. Embodiments of the invention simplify authoring and use of asynchronous methods, by generating statements that use well-defined awaitable objects to await completion of asynchronous operations. For example, a computer system can transform a statement that requests to await the completion of an asynchronous operation into a plurality of statements that use a predefined pattern of members of an awaitable object corresponding the asynchronous operation. The pattern can include one or more members configured to return a completion status of the asynchronous operation, one or more members configured to resume execution of the asynchronous method at a resumption point when the asynchronous operation completes, and one or more members configured to retrieve completion results. Accordingly, the plurality of statements can use these members to await execution of the asynchronous operation. | 12-20-2012 |
| 20120324457 | USING COMPILER-GENERATED TASKS TO REPRESENT PROGRAMMING ELEMENTS - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for representing various programming elements with compiler-generated tasks. Embodiments of the invention enable access to the future state of a method through a handle to a single and composable task object. For example, an asynchronous method is rewritten to generate and return a handle to an instance of a builder object, which represents one or more future states of the asynchronous method. Information about operation of the asynchronous method is then passed through the handle. Accordingly, state of the asynchronous method is trackable prior to and after completing. | 12-20-2012 |
