  • Publication number: 20160188843
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for blending data. The system may identify user behavior patterns such that relevant correlations are learned by the system and suggested to a user automatically. The system may also analyze each available data set to identify both present and potential correlations to suggest to a user. This provides an efficient means for the system to automatically narrow a compilation of data sets into a filtered group of suggested data sets for a user. Put another way, the system gathers data on user behavior and known correlations and uses various methodologies to generate new data sets to be automatically compared and catalogued.

  • Publication number: 20160133014
    Abstract: An area of interest of a patient's organ may be identified based on the presence of a possible lesion during an endoscopic procedure. The location of the area of interest may then be tracked relative to the camera view being displayed to the endoscopist in real-time or near real-time during the endoscopic procedure. If the area of interest is visually marked on the display, the visual marking is moved with the area of interest as it moves within the camera view. If the area of interest moves outside the camera view, a directional indicator may be displayed to indicate the location of the area of interest relative to the camera view to assist the endoscopist in relocating the area of interest.

  • Publication number: 20150080652
    Abstract: Images with an overall field of view (FOV) may be captured during an endoscopic procedure but only a portion of the overall FOV displayed to an endoscopist. The overall FOV may be analyzed to identify an area of interest of a patient's organ based on the presence of a possible lesion during the endoscopic procedure. The endoscopist may be notified of the identified area of interest. After an area of interest is identified, the location of the area of interest may be tracked. Image stabilization may be provided by changing the displayed portion of the overall FOV to maintain the area of interest within the displayed portion as the area of interest moves relative to the endoscope.

  • Publication number: 20150057493
    Abstract: The present disclosure described methods and systems for multimedia tactile augmentation. At least one method includes identifying media content loaded on a first computer, locating instructions stored on a second computer (said instructions corresponding to the content), initiating playback of the content, and synchronizing the instructions with the content. Said method further includes parsing and converting the instructions into one or more electrical signals, driving one or more haptic feedback devices with the electrical signals in synchronization with the playback of the content, and presenting the content to the user. The haptic feedback devices provide physical stimulation to a user accessing the content.
