Patent number: 9639804Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for determining responsiveness of a driver of a vehicle to feedback regarding driving behaviors. The system may include a sensor configured to generate output signals conveying first driving behavior information, which may characterize operation of the vehicle by the driver. The system may include one or more processors configured to obtain the first driving behavior information. The one or more processors may effectuate provision of feedback defined by feedback information based on the first driving behavior. The sensor may be configured to output signals conveying second driving behavior information, which may characterize operation of the vehicle by the driver during and/or subsequent to the provision of the feedback. The one or more processors may be configured to obtain the second driving behavior information and assess responsiveness of the driver to the feedback based on the second driving behavior information.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: SmartDrive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jason Palmer, Mark Freitas, Daniel A.

Patent number: 6678887Abstract: A system that facilitates customizing a software package by modifying an implementation of a target method defined within an application programming interface (API) for the software package is presented. The system operates by receiving additional code for integration into a target method defined within the API and a command to integrate this code, wherein the API defines a plurality of methods that operate on objects. This command is received through a pre-defined method within the API. In response, the system links the additional code into the target method so that the additional code is executed upon invocation of the target method. In one embodiment the API defines: a method that creates an object; a method that deletes the object; a method that fetches the object; and a method that updates the object. In one embodiment the additional code causes the target method to operate on data from an alternative source.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2000Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Networks Associates Technology, Inc.Inventors: Clinton J.

Patent number: 6393424Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that retrieves metadata from a memory within a server, so that the server does not have to access a database in order to retrieve the metadata. The system operates by receiving a request from a client, which causes an operation to be performed on data within the database. In response to the request, the system retrieves the metadata through a metadata object, which retrieves the metadata from a random access memory in the server. Note that this metadata specifies how the data is stored within the database. The system then performs the operation on the data within the database by using the metadata to determine how the data is stored within the database. Note that this metadata object can be used to service requests from a plurality of clients. Hence, client sessions can share the same metadata, which can greatly reduce the amount of memory used by client sessions.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1999Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Assignee: Networks Associates, Inc.Inventors: Clinton J.
