Abstract: A first processor-accessible memory device system and a second processor-accessible memory device system of a self-regulating transaction system may each store a respective local copy of one or more transaction ledgers that record transactions. A first data processing device system may be configured to generate a transaction information block associated with a particular market channel, store it in the local copy of a transaction ledger associated with the particular market channel stored in the first processor-accessible memory device system, and transmit it to a second data processing device system over a communications network for storage in the local copy of the transaction ledger associated with the particular market channel stored in the second processor-accessible memory device system.

Abstract: Novel distractorless authorship verification technology optionally combines with novel algorithms to solve authorship attribution as to an open set of candidates—such as without limitation by analyzing the voting of “mixture of experts” and outputting the result to a user using the following: if z (z=pi?pj?pi+pj?(pi?pj)2/n) is larger than a first predetermined threshold then author j cannot be the correct author; or if z (z=pi?pj?pi+pj?(pi?pj)2/n) is smaller than a second predetermined threshold then author i cannot be the correct author; or if no author garners significantly more votes than all other contenders then none of the named authors is the author of a document in question—in a number of novel applications. Personality profiling and authorship attribution may also be used to verify user identity to a computer.

Abstract: A system and a method that determine movement of one or more individuals or populations of individuals are provided. A residential zip code of an individual is determined. Long-term movements are identified. Short-term movements are identified. The long-term and short-term movements are classified. Anonymization removes personally identifying information of the individual. The short-term movements and long-term movements are aggregated by creating source-target zip code pairs. A population movement database is generated. The population movement database is accessible by a user device that has credentials allowing access.

The device may process the information using a set of techniques to permit an analysis of the connections and the subsequent interactions. The device may determine a score related to the event based on a result of analyzing the connections and the subsequent interactions. The score may indicate a level of success of the event with respect to the connections or the subsequent interactions. The device may perform an action based on the score.

Abstract: A technique for registering a device (10) with a rights issuer system (12) in a digital rights management (DRM) context is described. The device (10) is provided with DRM registration information that is required to use protected content. The DRM registration information is generated from rights issuer information on the one hand and device information on the other hand. The DRM registration technique described herein does not require an interactive registration protocol between a rights issuer server (12) and the device (10). Rather, the DRM registration information may be generated and transferred to the device (10) even if the device (10) is offline, inactive or switched-off.

Abstract: User behavior analysis method and device are disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a behavior record of users regarding commodities; acquiring, by determining a commodity feature vector in a predetermined commodity feature space of each of the commodities, a commodity feature matrix consisting of the commodity feature vectors of the commodities; for each of the users, calculating, based on a sub behavior record of the corresponding user regarding each of the commodities, a preference score of the corresponding user regarding each of the commodities, so as to get a score matrix composed of the preference scores of the users regarding the commodities; and for each of the users, determining, based on a regularized least squares based solution of a difference function of the score matrix and a prediction matrix, a user feature vector of the corresponding user in its related predetermined commodity feature space.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring brand uplift in a computer networked environment are provided. A data processing system can assign a first set of device identifiers to an experimental arm and a second set of device identifiers to a control arm. Computing devices associated with the experimental arm receive third-party content items promoting a brand for which a brand uplift experiment is performed, while computing devices associated with the control arm do not receive third-party content items promoting the brand. At the end of the experiment, a brand uplift metric value is computed by analyzing search query logs of the computing devices. The brand uplift metric value is then provided to an advertiser for display.

Abstract: Disclosed is a manufacturing process and feature licensing system for provisioning personalized (device-unique) licenses to devices, with the following characteristics. The system is secure in that it uses a secure key wrapping mechanism to deliver the LSK to LPS. Another feature is that various network communication links are secured using standard security protocol. Further, application messages, license templates, licenses are digitally signed. The system is also flexible because it is configured to allow multiple manufacturers and to allow various feature configurations via the use of License Template. The system is also scalable, as it is possible to use multiple LPS hosts to serve multiple programming stations. The system is available in that the delegation of license signing capability from CLS to LPS eliminates the dependency on unreliable Internet connections. Redundant LPS hosts provide high level of availability required for high volume license provisioning.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for image data detection for micro-expression analysis and targeted data services. A user may utilize a communication device, where during use of the communication device, one or more images of the user are captured by the communication device. The image(s) may be analyzed to identify at least one micro-expression of the user during use of the communication device, for example, at a time of performing online purchasing or messaging with other merchants or users. The micro-expression may then be used to determine a user state for the user at the time of use of the communication device, where an action or process may be executed with the communication device in response to the user state. In various embodiments, a service provider may be utilized to determine the user's state based on the micro-expression and execute an action based on the user's state.
