  • Patent number: 9799008
    Abstract: A method and system for the ordered modification of a recurring event in a calendaring application. A method for applying ordered modifications to recurring event instances, can include identifying an event exception which corresponds to a separately defined recurring event instance. Subsequently, at least one property of the recurring instance can be modified based upon the event exception. Additional event exceptions corresponding to the recurring event instance can be further identified in accordance with a preferred aspect of the present invention. For each further identified additional event exception, at least one property of the recurring event instance can be further modified based upon the further identified additional event exception. Notably, each of the identifying and modifying steps can be repeated for additional recurring event instances.

  • Publication number: 20170112431
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring biologically and behaviorally based responses to social media, locations, or experiences and providing instant and continuous feedback in response thereto are disclosed. An example system includes a first sensor to determine an emotional response of a user exposed to a social media application, a second sensor to determine a current activity of the user, and a third sensor to determine an environment of the user. The example system also establishes a priority schedule based on the emotional response, the current activity, and the environment. The system also correlates, based on the priority schedule, an advertisement with at least one of the emotional response, activity, or the environment. In addition, the example system presents the advertisement based on the priority schedule and the correlation of the advertisement with the at least one of the activity, the environment, or the emotional response.

  • Patent number: 9514439
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for measuring the biologically based responses of an audience to a presentation that provides sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience to the presentation. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for measuring one or more biologically based responses of one or more persons being exposed to the presentation in order to determine the moment-to-moment pattern and overall level of engagement. Further, the invention can be used to determine whether the presentation or the content in the presentation is more effective in a population relative to other presentations (or content) and other populations and to help identify elements of the presentation that contribute to the high level of engagement and the effectiveness and success of the presentation for that population.

  • Patent number: 9514436
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for predicting the behavior of an audience based on the biologically based responses of the audience to a presentation that provides a sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience to the presentation. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for predicting whether an audience is likely to view a presentation in its entirety. In addition, the present invention may be used to determine the point at which an audience is likely to change their attention to an alternative sensory stimulating experience including fast forwarding through recorded content, changing the channel or leaving the room when viewing live content, or otherwise redirecting their engagement from the sensory stimulating experience.

  • Publication number: 20160188563
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for calculating nutrient content information. A server that hosts a fitness management application receives text information that describes food recipe information. The serer parses the text information to identify relevant food information. The relevant food information includes a first text portion that corresponds to food ingredient information and a second text portion that corresponds to food quantity information. The server matches the food ingredient information to the first text portion with a known food ingredient in a database of food ingredient information. The server converts the food quantity information in the second text portion to a known food quantity type. The server calculates nutrient content information of the food ingredient information using nutritional information of the known food ingredient and the known food quantity type.

  • Publication number: 20100004977
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for measuring the biometric (physically, behaviorally, biologically and self-report based) responses of an audience to a presentation or interactive experience that provides a sensory stimulating experience and determining a measure of the level and pattern of engagement of that audience and impact of the presentation or interactive experience. In particular, the invention is directed to a method and system for measuring one or more biometrically based responses of one or more persons being exposed to the presentation in order to determine the moment-to-moment pattern or event based pattern and overall level of engagement. The method and system can include eye tracking to determine areas of the presentation that correspond to high and low levels of biometric responses suggesting high and low levels of visual impact.

  • Publication number: 20080003280
    Abstract: A novel composition of three recognized antitussive agents, when used in combination, work in an additive fashion to suppress cough. Each drug has a desirable effect of suppressing cough in a unique fashion. However, undesirable side effects can occur in humans at concentrations at which the drug has its maximal antitussive effect. Pharmaceutical compositions of theobromine, dextromethorphan, and an antihistamine with central nervous system effect, such as dexbrompheniramine, maximize cough suppression while decreasing the likelihood of side effects when used in combination.
