  • Publication number: 20130036068
    Abstract: The present application is directed to systems and methods for logistical management of a cargo shipment. An exemplary method comprises receiving input data related to the cargo. An analysis of the input data may then be performed, and a logistical or movement protocol for the cargo shipment may be modified based on the results of the input data analysis. Various embodiments of the methods may also include comparing the input data to at least one predetermined standard and modifying the logistical or movement protocol if the input data deviates from the standard by at least a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 7219123
    Abstract: A mobile information network browser device with audio feedback and adaptive personalization capability that is capable of transmitting a request for information via a wireless communication interface from one or more servers in an information network. The browser device further includes an audio interface capable of receiving data from the wireless communication interface that is responsive to the request for information. The browser device interfaces with a wireless communication network so that it may be used in a mobile vehicle, such as an automobile. The order in which individual pieces of content in the requested information is presented to the user is modified based on indicators of the user's interest in a topic during previous sessions. Such indicators can include whether the user input a command to skip, fast-forward, rewind, or request more detail about a category, subcategory, or topic of information. The adaptive personalization capability can also prevent redundant content from being presented.
