Abstract: A home computing system (cloud) integrates a protocols gateway, WiFi router, cloud server, and mass storage device to support one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices, possibly with different connectively protocols, in a local environment such as a residential home. The home computing cloud often reduces the amount of data traffic sent to a public computing cloud by locally processing collected device data rather than by sending the device data to the public computer cloud for processing. The home computing cloud may download an appropriate data analytic model from the public computing cloud, locally train (for example, reinforcement learning) the model, and locally execute the trained model to obtain prediction information from collected IoT device data. The home computing cloud also allows direct access of the connected IoT devices by user applications via the internet, through a protocols gateway and an IoT message translator.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for dynamic management of file system objects (e.g., a file or a directory). Such management includes syncing, routing, and storing capabilities. A file system object may be tagged with one or more tags based on at least one of file system object content or file system object location.

The file system object may be routed and/or stored based on the applicable rule. The rules may specify allowable locations as well as locations that are not allowed for a given file system object. The location may be a cloud-based location, a location that is on the premises of the enterprise, a location provided by and/or serviced by a competing entity, etc.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for screening access to personal contact information in an electronic or telephonic database is provided. The embodiments include a querying party generating a query signal to obtain personal contact information. The query signal is received by a bridge website server and the bridge website server sends a query notification signal to a listing party so as to inform him or her of the existence of a query for personal contact information and the identity of the querying party. The listing party generates a consent/no-consent signal that is sent to the bridge website server, wherein the consent/no-consent signal indicates the personal contact information that is to be revealed to the querying party. A personal contact information signal is then generated by the server, wherein the personal contact information signal provides the querying party the revealed personal contact information of the listing party.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to intelligent and near real-time monitoring in a streaming environment. In embodiments, a streaming platform streams raw data from raw data capture devices, where the raw data is contextually enriched using multiple information sources. A rule execution operator, integrated within the streaming platform, detects events by executing rules against the contextually enriched data. The rules applied are customizable, flexible, multivariate, and dynamically responsive to changing information. When an event is detected, an action can be instantiated in response to the event detection and/or newly derived information. The action and/or instructions for performing the action are communicated to external sources, where the action can be initiated and/or completed. Accordingly, actions are instantiated in near real time relative to the initial receipt of raw data from which the events were detected. Actions may be delayed using sophisticated temporal reasoning, in some embodiments.
