Publication number: 20150032673Abstract: Systems and methods are described for training a predictive model using social media data for artists from a period of time prior to the immediate past year and for using the trained model on social media metrics collected in the immediate prior year for the same set of artists to predict probability of success in a future period of time. The “training set” of artists includes both artists that have experienced success in the past year and artists that have yet to experience any success according to selected criteria. The predictive model predicts the next big musical success in the entertainment marketplace.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2014Publication date: January 29, 2015Inventors: Victor HU, Alex WHITE

Patent number: 8806350Abstract: In an embodiment, a client device receives a query that specifies social, temporal and spatial parameters relative to a set of users (e.g., a source user or source user group). The client device determines degrees to which the specified parameters are related to a group of target users in social, temporal and spatial dimensions. The client device also determines an expected availability of one or more target users for interaction (e.g., interaction via particular types of communication session types, such as voice, video, text, etc.). The client device performs a processing function on at least one data object associated with the group of target users based on (i) whether the determined degrees of relation satisfy the specified parameters of the query, and (ii) the expected availability of the one or more target users in the group of target users.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kulathumani Krishnan, John Alex White, Jr., Mark A.

Patent number: 8302015Abstract: An embodiment is directed to displaying information to a user of a communications device. The communications device receives a query including a social parameter, a temporal parameter and a spatial parameter relative to the user that are indicative of a desired visual representation of a set of data objects. The communications device determines degrees to which the social, temporal and spatial parameters of the query are related to each of the set of data objects in social, temporal and spatial dimensions, respectively. The communications device displaying a first visual representation of at least a portion of the set of data objects to the user based on whether the determined degrees of relation in the social dimension, temporal dimension and spatial dimension satisfy the respective parameters of the query.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kulathumani Krishnan, John Alex White, Jr., Mark Maggenti
