20080287832 | FOOT PRESSURE ALERT AND SENSING SYSTEM - This invention relates to a system that continuously monitors pressure and force on the foot, analyzes and visualizes the pressure and force exerted on said foot in real-time. The invention measures pressure and force applied to a plurality of sensors placed in various points of an orthotic, shoe, shoe lining, insert, sock or sock type device. If the sensors detect pressure or force, the sensors send a signal to a microcomputer processor located in the shoe that subsequently analyzes and sends the data wireless to either a handheld electronic device, a personal computer, an electronic data capture system or a software program. The handheld electronic device or the personal computer then displays the data to an operator of the device or computer instantaneously; while the data capture system or program forwards the information to a handheld device and/or personal computer. | 11-20-2008 |

20090150435 | DYNAMIC UPDATING OF PERSONAL WEB PAGE - A user's personal home page can be dynamically updated by desired content originating on external web pages as long as the content continues to occupy the same position on the external web page. The owner of the personal home page configures the update system by specifying at least the network path to each selected web page, the pixel coordinates of the desired content on the selected web page, the pixel coordinates at which the desired content is to appear on the personal home page. The external selected web pages are pushed or pulled to the user's system where the desired content is extracted and written into a video buffer. Once in the video buffer, the content can be used to update the personal home page. | 06-11-2009 |
20090216548 | License Management in a Networked Software Application Solution - A networked software solution comprising a plurality of servers, and application programs at various of the servers forming components of the solution. License information for all networked applications that form part of the solution is stored at each server that forms part of the solution. At relevant times, a server might determine from it's stored license information whether or not the applications of the solution are all operating according to unexpired licenses. In this way all servers of a solution receive and store the license information pertaining to other required applications of the solution and can determine at any time if the solution is validly licensed. | 08-27-2009 |
20120092169 | METHOD OF ASSESSING HUMAN FALL RISK USING MOBILE SYSTEMS - A method for determining the motive instability of an individual using foot pressure, foot speed and foot direction data collected from sensors on shoes. The sensed data is used to determine the minimum number and the placement of pressure sensors in the shoe. The data from the sensors is processed to extract spatial and temporal parameters as desired. The data is grouped into segments based on a segmentation rule. The trend in each segment is determined. The variability of the trend in each segment is determined. The risk of fall is computed on the basis of the trend and variance. The computation is adjustable by emphasizing certain parameters in order to tailor the instability assessment to a specific individual. | 04-19-2012 |

20120027256 | Automatic Media Sharing Via Shutter Click - A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. Collections of images are received from different users, where each collection is associated with a particular user and the users may be associated with each other. The collections are grouped into one or more albums based on the content of the images in the collection, where each album is associated with a particular user. The albums from the different users are grouped into one or more event groups based on the content of the albums. The event groups are then shared automatically, without user intervention, between the different users based on their associations with each other and their individual sharing preferences. | 02-02-2012 |
20120314917 | Automatic Media Sharing Via Shutter Click - A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. A first image is received depicting a scene with one or more persons. Face detection information is identified for each person in the first image. Identification information for each face detected is obtained without user intervention. The face detection information and the identification information are associated with the first image. The first image including the associated face detection information and identification information is sent to a server hosting a media sharing service. An access link to an event group is received. The event group includes an album of the first image and a first collection of images that share a set of common features with the first image. | 12-13-2012 |
20130096466 | ENERGY AWARE SENSOR MANAGEMENT FOR WEARABLE MEDICAL SYSTEMS OPTIMIZATION - A sensor system and method configured to take multiple channels of sensors, and based on context and user behavior reflected in the signals, identifies specified channels for sensing according to a sensing policy. The sensing policy is used to reduce the amount of data sampled, such that it is possible to reconstruct the values of the non sampled sensors efficiently. The sensing policy is influenced by user and system's behavior and can be assigned either offline or in real time. | 04-18-2013 |
20130211209 | ENERGY AWARE SENSOR MANAGEMENT FOR WEARABLE MEDICAL SYSTEMS OPTIMIZATION - In some aspects, the invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting viral infection. In some aspects, the invention provides compositions and methods useful for identifying antiviral compounds. | 08-15-2013 |
20140253504 | MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SENSORS - The present application discloses a system comprising a mobile device and an assembly of sensors that are attached to the device and that provide added control functions of the device. The sensors may consist of flex pressure or motion sensors or essentially any sensor construct that can receive tactile input from the touch of a user. The sensors are connected to the device through input-output pins or through a proprietary wireless communication protocol. The sensors transfer user actions to provide commands to the device to operate the specific functionalities associated with the sensor data. In certain embodiments, the pressure sensors are formed in an array such that a chain of sensor inputs maps a movement by the user to an action performed by the device. With the appropriate mechanical expedients, haptic capabilities are provided such that feedback to the user is provided by pressure or vibration sensations on the device. | 09-11-2014 |
