Publication number: 20220335355Abstract: A device may communicate with a client device to provide, via a user interface of the client device, a set of prompts regarding an entity. The device may detect one or more user interactions with the user interface associated with indicating a set of responses to the set of prompts. The device may process data identifying the set of responses to the set of prompts to generate a set of scores for a set of recommendations based on processing the data identifying the set of responses to the set of prompts. The device may determine a ranking of the set of recommendations based on the set of scores. The device may select one or the set of recommendations based on the ranking.

Publication number: 20070136213Abstract: A method that utilizes a first process that detects if a first printed region that is a fraudulent copy based on information associated with the first printed region; and utilizes the information obtained in the first process to determine in a second process if a second printed region is a fraudulent copy. The information associated with the first printed region may be printer mode, i.e., economic, medium, best, ink cartridge identification number, or numbers, type of ink or inks, resolution of the first and second image, print head angle, resolution pattern, etc. The first process detects fraudulent copies of images more quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2005Publication date: June 14, 2007Applicant: Pitney Bowes IncorporatedInventors: Ronald Sansone, Robert Cordery, William Kilmartin

Publication number: 20060229882Abstract: A method and system for producing a printed text. A system operates in accordance with the method to: receive a message signal created by an author and representative of the semantic content of a printed text; produce a text signal in response to the message signal; analyze the message signal to determine a non-semantic indicator of the author's state of mind; determine a non-semantic characteristic of the printed text as a function of the determined non-semantic indicator; and printing the printed text in response to the text signal and the determined characteristic. The message signal can be a voice signal. A physiological signal such as pulse rate or variations in the pace, volume, tremulation, or average wavelength of the author's speech can also be used to determine the author's state of mind.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2005Publication date: October 12, 2006Applicant: Pitney Bowes IncorporatedInventors: Denis Stemmle, Judith Auslander, Kevin Bodie, John Braun, Thomas Foth, William Kilmartin, Frederick Ryan

Patent number: 7054461Abstract: The disclosure describes an authentication system and related methods for authenticating printed objects. The system uses an information-based metric along with one or more print quality metrics to provide accurate detection or classification of a counterfeit printed object. The print quality metric evaluates attributes of a subject image associated with the original printer, ink or paper to detect degradation of those operations due to copying operations like an image scanning and halftone printing subsequent to the original printing of the object. The information-based metric measures message symbol errors in an optically readable code, such as a digital watermark.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2002Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignees: Pitney Bowes Inc., Digimarc CorporationInventors: Claude Zeller, Donald G. Mackay, William Kilmartin, Robert A. Cordery, William A. Brosseau, Hugh L. Brunk, Stephen K. Decker, Jun Tian

Publication number: 20020176114Abstract: A method that detects when an image is copied or scanned in order to reduce the production of fraudulent images. The invention allows an inspector to conduct an analysis of an image with a simple set of tools on site without the need to check a remote database through a network and look for duplicate images. This minimizes the infrastructure and cost required to implement the system. A local inspection can be made by scanning an image and decoding it with relatively inexpensive tools available on site. The invention accomplishes the foregoing by producing a fragile watermark image that produces a noticeable and measurable loss of information when it is reproduced. The loss of information is due to effects associated with scanning and printing processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2002Publication date: November 28, 2002Applicant: Pitney Bowes IncorporatedInventors: Claude Zeller, Donald MacKay, William Kilmartin, William A. Brosseau, James Euchner, Robert A. Cordery
