  • Patent number: 9218545
    Abstract: A method and a system for human action recognition are provided. In the method, a plurality of training data corresponding to a plurality of gestures are received and clustered into at least one group according to similarity between the training data, where the training data represent the gestures, and a corresponding relationship between the training data and the gestures may be one-to-one or many-to-one. An image sequence of human action is captured, and a data representing the human action to be identified is obtained there from. Then, a specific group having the highest similarity with the data to be identified is selected from the groups, and a ranking result of all the training data within the specific group is obtained through a rank classifier and the data to be identified. Finally, the human action is identified as the gesture represented by the first training data in the ranking result.

  • Publication number: 20130151341
    Abstract: Methods for sending interactive promotion information used between a portable device and a multimedia device are provided. The multimedia device stores a plurality of multimedia information and corresponding promotion information. The portable device is connected to the multimedia device of a specific place through a communication network. The portable device obtains a first certificate corresponding to a product of the specific place, wherein the first certificate includes consumer behavior information of the product and connection information for the multimedia device. The portable device logs into the multimedia device through the first certificate and the communication network. After successfully logging into the multimedia device, the portable device generates an operation user interface for operating the multimedia device to select one of the multimedia information to play.

  • Patent number: 8341006
    Abstract: A system for product recommendation comprises several automatic service equipments which are mutually linked via a communication network. Each of the automatic service equipments obtains data of other user groups, data of other product groups and other, relation matrixes from other automatic service equipments. Each of the automatic service equipments integrates data of other user groups into data of local user groups stored in itself, and also integrates data of other product groups into data of local product groups stored in itself. Each of the automatic service equipments revises a local relation matrix stored in itself, such that the revised local relation matrix records correlation coefficients between the integrated local user groups and the integrated local product groups. Each of the automatic service equipments performs product recommendation according to the integrated data and input data received through an input device.
