Analysis techniques include selecting a plurality of vertical positions in the area of interest, each vertical position corresponding to a part of the patient body indicative of the patient's position, horizontally scanning values along the horizontal pixel row at each vertical position in the area of interest, finding an average value for each vertical position and identifying a patient interval of the horizontal pixel row having pixel values different from the average and a representative horizontal position of the patient interval for each vertical interval. Then, comparing those median horizontal positions from a current image frame to the representative horizontal positions from a previous image frame to determine a change in the patient's position. | 02-02-2012 |

The system analyzes an area of interest within each image frame that corresponds to an area in the camera's view field with the patient. Sequential image frames are compared for motion, only frames without motion, where the patient is still, are analyzed. Analysis techniques include selecting a plurality of vertical positions in the area of interest, each vertical position corresponding to a part of the patient body indicative of the patient's position, horizontally scanning values along the horizontal pixel row at each vertical position in the area of interest, finding an average value for each vertical position and identifying a patient interval of the horizontal pixel row having pixel values different from the average and a representative horizontal position of the patient interval for each vertical interval. Then, comparing those median horizontal positions from a current image frame to the representative horizontal positions from a previous image frame to determine a change in the patient's position. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090307273 | Using Metadata Analysis for Monitoring, Alerting, and Remediation - In certain embodiments, a method for monitoring, alerting and remediation of systems is provided. The method provides for receiving data from one or more data sources and logging the data. A first metadata fingerprint is created for a particular data source. The first metadata fingerprint is indicative of a first quantity of data output for the particular data source. A second metadata fingerprint is created for the same data source. The second metadata fingerprint is indicative of a second quantity of data output for the data source. The second metadata fingerprint is created from data received at a different point in time from the first metadata fingerprint. The first metadata fingerprint is compared with the second metadata fingerprint associated with the particular data source. An alert is generated when the comparison indicates that the first metadata fingerprint does not correspond within a specified tolerance to the second metadata fingerprint. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100042632 | Log File Time Sequence Stamping - In certain embodiments, a method for log file time sequence stamping is provided. The method includes connecting to a console port of one or more data sources and receiving data from the data sources. The data may be logged with both an independent time stamp and a sequence indicator. The independent time stamp provides a consistent time stamp of when the data was received at the system and the time sequence indicator represents an order in which the data was received at the system. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20090031006 | System and method for alerting a first mobile data processing system nearby a second mobile data processing system - Provided is a fully automated web service with location based services generally involved in transmission of situational location dependent information to automatically located mobile receiving data processing systems. The web service communicates with a receiving data processing system in a manner by delivering information to the device when appropriate without the device requesting it at the time of delivery. There are varieties of configurations made by different user types of the web service for configuring information to be delivered, and for receiving the information. The web service maximizes anonymity of users, provides granular privacy control with a default of complete privacy, and supports user configurable privileges and features for desired web service behavior and interoperability. The web service is fully automated to eliminate human resources required to operate services. Integrated with the web service are enhanced location based services providing map solutions, alerts, sharing of novel services between users, and complete user control for managing heterogeneous device interoperability through the web service. | 01-29-2009 |
