20120269116 | CONTEXT-AWARE MOBILE SEARCH BASED ON USER ACTIVITIES - Search processes are improved by modeling a mobile device user's context for a particular mobile search activity. Activity data characterizing usage of the mobile communications device is collected. This data may include the user's usage of the music and video player, including the types of media and specific titles, as well as activity data related to phone calls and other communications activities. The activity information is used by a predictive model to predict search parameters based on recent activity data. The predictive model can provide suggested search parameters, based on the user's recent activity as well as on search-specific user input. In some cases, the predictive model may be used to re-order the search results returned from a conventional search engine, based on the collected activity data. | 10-25-2012 |

20130158987 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY GENERATING GROUP-RELATED PERSONALIZED DICTIONARIES - A user device communicates with a network server that has access to one or more knowledge sources. Based on a current situational context for a user of the device, the network server dynamically generates a group-related personalized dictionary using information retrieved from the knowledge sources and provides the dictionary to the user device. Applications executing on the user device can then use the dictionary to suggest or predict words, terms, or symbols to the user in response to receiving user input. | 06-20-2013 |
20130159234 | CONTEXT ACTIVITY TRACKING FOR RECOMMENDING ACTIVITIES THROUGH MOBILE ELECTRONIC TERMINALS - A mobile electronic terminal includes a context-activity tracking module, a recommendation module, and a user interface. The context-activity tracking module detects defined contexts, identifies associations between occurrence of the contexts and activities performed by a user of the mobile electronic terminal, and records information in a context-activity repository identifying the associations. The recommendation module identifies a present occurrence of a context that is associated with a previous performance of at least one activity identified by the information in the context-activity repository, and generates a recommendation for the at least one activity that can be performed by the user. The user interface communicates the recommendation for the at least one activity to the user, and to receive an activation response from the user. Related context activity repository nodes and methods by a mobile electronic terminal are disclosed. | 06-20-2013 |
20130262366 | Generic Reasoner Distribution Method - A method for improving distribution of resources for a reasoning system including a plurality of data sources that each generate raw data that is to be processed by shallow reasoners before being provided to other components of the reasoning system to generate high-level inferred conclusions, the method including the steps of discovering available data sources from the plurality of data sources by discovery of protocol modules executed by devices associated with each data source; collecting capability information from each protocol module for each associated device; sending the capability information to a predictor server; requesting a resource allocation plan from the predictor server; and receiving the resource allocations plan from the predictor server, the resource allocation plane identifying devices associated with the plurality of data sources for executing shallow reasoners, the devices selected based on a usage model and the capability information. | 10-03-2013 |
20130290981 | Method and System for Controlled Communication Between Applications - A method, system and computer program in a software framework for enabling controlled communication between a generic application on the software framework and a service application in a second environment. An access request is transmitted by the generic application to an interface provision unit. The request includes an identity of the generic application. An instant interface is provided by the interface provision unit to the second environment. The instant interface is determined by the access request and dedicated for the generic application. A response is returned by the interface provision unit to the generic application including an address to the instant interface. Thereby the instant interface permits controlled communication between the generic application and the service application, thus enabling the new controlled communication without changes of the second environment. | 10-31-2013 |
20130294593 | NETWORK NODES PROVIDING PRE-CALL AND DURING CALL ADVERTISING - A voice call network node communicates advertisements to user terminals of a telecommunications system. The voice call network node includes a voice call handling component and an advertisement insertion component. The voice call handling component responds to a voice call from a caller user terminal by identifying characteristics of the caller user terminal and/or the callee user terminal. The advertisement insertion component communicates voice call profile information through a network to an advertisement service offering node. The voice call profile information identifies characteristics of the caller user terminal and/or the callee user terminal The advertisement insertion component also receives an advertisement from the advertisement service offering node responsive to the communicated voice call profile information, and communicates the advertisement to the caller user terminal and/or to the callee user terminal Related advertisement service offering nodes and user terminals are disclosed. | 11-07-2013 |
20130311419 | Incremental Reasoning Under Data Source Availability Constraints - A method executed by a computer system for generating a high level inferred conclusion from raw data collected from a plurality of data sources by application of an ontology reasoning system, the method comprising the steps of determining availability of intermediate results received from a plurality of shallow reasoners, the intermediate results generated by the plurality of shallow reasoners based on the plurality of data sources; propagating the intermediate results to nodes of an ontology graph; executing incremental ontology reasoning over the ontology graph to generate inferred conclusions; and persisting inferred conclusions in an ontology database. | 11-21-2013 |
20140112457 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO PROVIDE PRIORITY INDICATING CALLS - A method implemented to provide voice calls in a network. The method comprises receiving a voice call initiation request at a caller agent, wherein the voice call initiation request is triggered by a caller initiating a voice call via a caller equipment, wherein the voice call is destined to a callee equipment communicatively coupled with the network to reach a caller, and wherein the caller agent and a callee agent interact with the caller equipment and the callee equipment respectively. The method further comprise sending a call connection message to the caller equipment, receiving an acknowledgment message from the caller equipment, and opening a voice channel between the caller and the caller agent without waiting for a callee agent response. | 04-24-2014 |
20140195470 | LARGE-SCALE HUMAN MOBILITY PATTERN RECOGNITION - A method for grouping trips of a mobile device, a trip including a set of trip traces from a plurality of traces collected from base stations. Each base station includes a unique station-ID. Each trace includes a station-ID and an association time indicating when the mobile device was associated with the base station. The mobile device is associated with at most one base station at any point in time. The method to group two trips by calculating an edit distance using an approximate string matching algorithm. The method includes identifying traces for the two trips, extracting ordered sets of station-IDs from the traces, calculating the edit distance between the two trips by applying the approximate string matching algorithm, to the ordered sets of station-IDs, checking if the edit distance is less than a preset edit distance threshold, and grouping the two trips into a group of trips. | 07-10-2014 |
