  • Patent number: 10445382
    Abstract: The present invention provides computer-based systems and methods directed to maintaining a database of user profiles based, respectively, on user interaction with third-party systems. The invention includes the processes of: accessing a unique user profile associated with a unique user; automatically collecting, by an agent module executing on a processor associated with a first system, data associated with the unique user based at least in part on the unique user's interaction with a system unassociated with the first system; evaluating by the processor the collected data and searching available databases to identify potential items of interest to the unique user based at least in part on the unique user profile and the collected data; determining a set of predicted items of interest to the unique user from the identified potential items of interest; and presenting at a display associated with the unique user data representing the set of predicted items of interest.

  • Patent number: 9671786
    Abstract: A method is provided for the automatic generation of a robotic devices, where the method comprises the steps of receiving user input to determine a task specification for one or more tasks for the robotic device, determining a task list comprising one or more tasks based on the provided task specification, determining based on the task list provided, one or more mechanical components, one or more processing components, and logic components required to execute one or more tasks; and generating the logic components required to execute one or more tasks, and embedding the logic components onto a recordable medium associated with the robotic device.

  • Publication number: 20170109813
    Abstract: A system, method, and user interface for generating a temporal session sorting summary are provided. In embodiments, candidates are selected by a user based on a selection of one or more candidate indicators. Each selected candidate indicator is identified as being associated with one or more features, such as a category and/or an intended recipient. In further aspects, a session sorting summary is generated and at least a portion of representative images of candidates associated with the selected candidates are persistently displayed to a user in the session sorting summary. The representative images of candidates associated with the selected candidate indicators are grouped according to the identified features in the session sorting summary. Upon selection of a candidate in the session sorting summary for personalization, the unselected candidates in the same category and/or under the same intended recipient, are removed from the session sorting summary.
