  • Patent number: 8442578
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for generating feedback. In one aspect, a method includes receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors, wherein at least one of the plurality of sensors is associated with a mobile device of a user; aggregating the received sensor data to generate aggregated sensor data; processing the aggregated sensor data to determine an aggregated metric; comparing the aggregated metric to a target associated with the user to determine a measure of performance; and generating feedback based on the determined measure of performance. Further, the mobile device can comprise a mobile personal services device that includes one or more of an audio sensor, a video sensor, an environmental sensor, a biometric sensor, a location sensor, an activity detector, and a health monitor. The feedback can be displayed on the mobile personal services device. The feedback also can be displayed in near real-time.

  • Patent number: 7966189
    Abstract: A wearable computer system has a user interface with at least an audio-only mode of operating, and that is natural in appearance and facilitates natural interactions with the system and the user's surroundings. The wearable computer system may retrieve information from the user's voice or surroundings using a passive user interface. The audio-only user interface for the wearable computer system may include two audio receivers and a single output device, such as a speaker, that provides audio data directly to the user. The two audio receivers may be miniature microphones that collaborate to input audio signals from the user's surroundings while also accurately inputting voice commands from the user. Additionally, the user may enter natural voice commands to the wearable computer system in a manner that blends in with the natural phrases and terminology spoken by the user.

  • Patent number: 7689433
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for active relationship management. A computer implemented method for relationship management includes receiving a list of one or more enterprises. The method includes identifying one or more individuals associated with at least one of the enterprises. The method includes receiving information related to a topic of interest. The method includes parsing the received topic information into units of data. The method includes searching the units of data for one or more quotes. The method includes determining whether a found quote is related to any of the identified individuals. The method includes associating, if the found quote is determined to be related to one or more of the identified individuals, the quote found with the one or more individuals. The method includes storing the quote in a database.
