Abstract: To update a database of records having person attributes using an input record containing person attributes and authorization information, a person attribute of an input record is compared to a person attribute for each record in the database, and records in the database are identified as matched records. A composite record is created from the input record and the matched record. A portion of the input record is written to the database if the authorization information contains either an authorized provider ID or a prior-use indicator. An output record is thus generated consisting of the input record and authorization information containing a prior-use indicator. A cascade of a first instance and a second instance wherein the database comprises a first database in the first instance and a second database in the second instance may be performed.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting medical data. In one embodiment, a computer system receives filter criteria from a user of a first computer. Furthermore, the computer system may receive schedule information defining a schedule for checking for medical data. Depending on the embodiment, either the computer system or a remote server periodically selects, based upon the received schedule, medical data satisfying the received user-specific rules. The selected medical data is then transmitted to the computer system.

Abstract: With the addition of directional information and gesture based input in a location based services environment, a variety of service(s) can be provided on top of user identification or interaction with specific object(s) of interest. For instance, when a user gestures at or points at a particular item, or gestures at a particular location or place, this creates an opportunity, e.g., an advertising opportunity, for anyone having an interest in that particular item or place to communicate with the user regarding that item or related items at a point in time when the user's focus is on the particular item. User context for the interaction can also be taken into account to supplement the provision of one or more interactive direction based services.
