Patent number: 10484323Abstract: An algorithm is described that informs a user about the relationship between ongoing measurements and goals for those measurements. For example, it informs a diabetic user whether his blood glucose is outside preset limits. The purpose of the algorithm is to influence the user's behavior so that the measured parameters return to the desired normal range. The algorithm accomplishes this in the following innovative fashion: first, it employs a non-deterministic decision making procedure to select the method of communication. The purpose is to preserve an element of surprise and keep the user interested in the message being delivered. Second, the algorithm varies the emphasis of the message and the time of transmission again to avoid a monotonous sequence of communications. Third, the algorithm is adaptive and adjusts its decision making based on the success or failure of different modalities in affecting the user's behavior.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: iDialogs LLCInventor: Ira Philip Goldstein

Patent number: 10402835Abstract: A system for collecting and analyzing agricultural data. A team of crop scouts performs a scouting operation in a farm, each crop scout interacting with a mobile device. The mobile device provides a navigation display guiding the scout along a route, from one data collection point to the next. At each data collection point, the crop scout makes observations and measurements and inputs the corresponding data into the mobile device. A control operator at a central location monitors the progress of the scouting operation and revises the routes or locations of data collection points when appropriate, based on data received during the scouting operation. A cloud service analyzes the data and provides recommendations to a farm operator.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: RAYTHEON COMPANYInventors: John G.
