These dictionaries were previously generated by examining member profiles that were judged by a human reviewer to be “good” profiles or “bad” profiles, and determining whether a word belongs in a specific dictionary based on frequencies of occurrence of the word in the good profiles and the bad profiles. Next, the system computes a score for each member profile based at least partially on occurrences of words from the dictionaries in the member profile. Finally, the system identifies a member profile as containing disallowed content based on the score. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220647 | Interactive GUI for clustered search results - Typical search engines include document snippets. There is no progression from a big picture view of search results to more detailed views. This invention creates a big picture view of search results in terms of cluster/category/topic/facet summaries/snippets. Cluster summary/snippet also has a few top ranking document snippets unlike other clustering search engines. Interactivity is provided for the user to see more/less results of each cluster/category/topic/facet. This helps in better understanding and navigation of search results. Can use traditional windows/rectangles for clusters/categories and sub-rectangles for documents. Alternatively can use a modified treemap. Each cluster with title becomes a parent in the treemap. Unlike traditional treemaps which show all children at a level, it shows a subset of children. A further alternative uses circles/balloons to represent clusters. Documents are shown as sub-circles. Clustering is also improved by additionally using ‘similar terms’ for clustering and getting cluster titles. | 2015-08-06 |

20150220704 | Clinical Decision Support System over a bipartite graph - Machines, systems and methods for supporting clinical decisions comprises providing a graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate selection of one or more treatment plans (TPs) for one or more clinical presentations (CPs), wherein data records for the TPs and the CPs are implemented over a data structure that defines one or more relationship between the CPs and the TPs, according to medical guidelines or clinical data, wherein interaction with the GUI allows for filtering through TPs associated with one or more CPs, or filtering through CPs associated with one or more TPs, wherein selecting a CP from among a plurality of the CPs results in display of one or more TPs associated with the selected CP, and wherein cross-referencing between results displayed in response to the selection of the selected CP and TP provides details that help determine one or more relevant TPs for a target CP. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220705 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING AN EXERCISE PLAN - The present invention relates to generation of an exercise plan. In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for generating an exercise plan from a plurality of exercises for a user is proposed. Each exercise of the plurality of exercises is associated with a parameter for indicating the status of said each exercise of the plurality of exercises. The parameter may be set to different values. For example, the parameter may be set to a first value indicates that the associated exercise has not been selected to be part of the exercise plan; similarly, a second value indicates that the associated exercise has been selected to be part of the exercise plan; and a third value indicates that the associated exercise has been performed by the user. The method can comprise the steps of: a) initializing the parameter of each exercise of the plurality of exercises into the first value; b) selecting a subset of exercises from the plurality of exercises to generate the exercise plan and updating the parameter of each selected exercise in the plurality of exercises into the second value; and c) updating the exercise plan based on the user's performance resulting from the execution of the exercise plan and the parameter associated with each exercise of the plurality of exercises. With the proposed method, an exercise plan can be generated and updated conveniently. The invention also proposes a device for generating an exercise plan. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220706 | Tailored Rapid Interactive Mobile Messaging (TRIMM) for Weight Management - An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a system and a method for facilitating a user to meet a self-selected goal. The user enrolls in the program and receives a tailored series of motivational text messages. The text messages can be individualized for the user based on user goals, responses to pull text messages, responses to questionnaires, and the user's preferred style of receiving information. These text messages help to guide the user to reach the goal by encouraging and reminding the user to engage in desired behaviors. The system and method are described with respect to an exemplary embodiment for encouraging weight loss, but can also be used for other applications, such as diabetes control and smoking cessation. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220707 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR MONITORING MALICIOUS ACCESS OF PROTECTED CONTENT - A method detects unauthorized access of data, and includes receiving data from a content provider by a content reproducing device; storing the received data in a memory storage device of the content reproducing device; obtaining an address range of a buffer of the content reproducing device; intercepting system application programming interface calls related to memory access of the address range of the buffer; comparing the intercepted system application programming interface calls to an expected sequence of memory access calls; and determining that a particular memory access call is unauthorized when the particular memory access call accesses the address range of the buffer while not belonging to the expected sequence of memory access calls. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220708 | INFORMATION SERVICE METHOD, INFORMATION SERVICE UNIT, RECORDING OR REPRODUCING CONTROLLING METHOD, AND RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING UNIT - Unique identification information is prerecorded on a disc. The identification information is registered to a server along with user's license when he or she buys the disc. When an terminal unit reproduces data from the disc, identification information is read and transmitted to the server through the Internet. The server creates a key that controls to reproduce data from the disc in accordance with the license identified by the identification information and transmits the key to the terminal unit along with the user's license information for the disc. The terminal unit controls to reproduce contents of the disc in accordance with key and license information transmitted from the server. The license for each disc is managed in accordance with the identification information. Thus, different services can be provided for individual discs. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220709 | SECURITY-ENHANCED DEVICE BASED ON VIRTUALIZATION AND THE METHOD THEREOF - Disclosed is an electronic device for supporting enhanced security including: a processor; a memory; a virtual machine monitor; a first virtual machine in which a host operating system is operated; and a second virtual machine in which a security operating system is operated. Each operating system may access only system resources allocated through the virtual machine monitor. | 2015-08-06 |
20150220710 | SYSTEM CONTROL - A technique for controlling system critical changes implementable by a user of an operating system comprises receiving a request from the user to make a system critical change and assessing whether the user has appropriate privileges to make the system critical change. If the user has appropriate privileges to make the system critical change, then notifying at least one further user having the appropriate privileges to make the system critical change of the received request and awaiting approval from at least one further user before implementing the requested system critical change. Aspects and embodiments improve security of a computer system by removing a single user's capability to directly issue and have implemented dangerous or disruptive commands. | 2015-08-06 |
