  • Patent number: 10644982
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of values of a data stream, where the plurality of values are generated by a monitored device and received in real time. One or more statistical moments of the data stream are updated, by a computer processing device, based on each value of the plurality of values. Each value of the plurality of values is discarded, after updating the one or more statistical moments of the data stream based on that value. A threshold is set for the data stream based on the one or more statistical moments. It is detected that the threshold has been passed by the data stream. A remedial action is performed on the monitored device, responsive to the threshold being passed, where the remedial action is associated with the threshold.

  • Patent number: 7533084
    Abstract: Methods for monitoring user specific information on websites by searching websites and displaying the results based at least partially on geographical region are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving a search request including one or more keywords and searching a database based on the received search request to generate search results, where the search results include an indication of one or more websites each with an associated geographical region. Embodiments may also include generating a geographical user interface page based on the search results, where the page includes an indication of the one or more opinion websites superimposed on a map based on their associated geographical region. Embodiments may further include transmitting the generated geographical user interface page. Further embodiments may include generating geography-based directed advertising based on the search results or receiving and storing a rating for a website from a user.
