  • Patent number: 9280849
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for automatically combining computer-generated imagery with real-world imagery in a portable electronic device by retrieving, manipulating, and sharing relevant stored videos, preferably in real time. A video is captured with a hand-held device and stored. Metadata including the camera's physical location and orientation is appended to a data stream, along with user input. The server analyzes the data stream and further annotates the metadata, producing a searchable library of videos and metadata. Later, when a camera user generates a new data stream, the linked server analyzes it, identifies relevant material from the library, retrieves the material and tagged information, adjusts it for proper orientation, then renders and superimposes it onto the current camera view so the user views an augmented reality.

  • Publication number: 20160034311
    Abstract: Techniques for tracking large numbers of moving objects in an event processing system are provided. An input event stream can be received, where the events in the input event stream represent the movement of a plurality of geometries or objects. The input event stream can then be partitioned among a number of processing nodes of the event processing system, thereby enabling parallel processing of one or more continuous queries for tracking the objects. The partitioning can be performed such that each processing node is configured to track objects in a predefined spatial region, and the spatial regions for at least two nodes overlap. This overlapping window enables a single node to find, e.g., all of the objects within a particular distance of a target object, even if the target object is in the process of moving from the region of that node to the overlapping region of another node.

  • Patent number: 9110945
    Abstract: The present invention includes a method for providing parameterized queries in complex event processing (CEP). The method includes providing a query template which includes one or more bind variables, providing sets of parameters corresponding to the one or more bind variables, and parsing the query template to determine positions of the one or more bind variables. The method further includes scanning the provided sets of parameters to determine which of the sets of parameters are to be bound to the one or more bind variables, binding the one or more bind variables which are determined to be bound to the sets of parameters, and substituting the bound one or more bind variables with the corresponding sets of parameters. The method further includes injecting all incarnations of the parameterized queries into the system, and one template/parameterized query is configured to run them all.

  • Publication number: 20140095537
    Abstract: Techniques for managing real-time business event analysis and monitoring are provided. In some examples, a logical request may be received at a business intelligence server configured with a continuous query service. Additionally, the continuous query service may be configured to translate the logical request into a physical request. Further, business intelligence information may be provided based at least in part on querying against an event data stream with a continuous query configured based at least in part on the physical request translated by the continuous query service.

  • Publication number: 20140095525
    Abstract: Techniques for managing tactical query to continuous query conversion are provided. In some examples, a tactical query configured to enable the pulling of business event data from a database to a query engine may be determined. For example, a query engine may be configured with the tactical query. The configuration may be based at least in part on an indication of the business event data to be displayed. Further, in some examples, a conversion of the tactical query to a continuous query may be enabled. The conversion or enablement of the conversion may be based at least in part on a request.

  • Publication number: 20140095541
    Abstract: Techniques for managing risks with continuous queries are provided. In some examples, a selection of a data object enabled to provide a real-time stream of business event data may be received. The selection may be received by a user associated with the business event data. Additionally, a continuous query language query may be generated. The query may be configured to monitor the real-time stream of business event data for a first metric. In some examples, the a risk indicator associated with a second metric that affects the first metric may be identified. Output events of a pre-existing continuous query language query may be listened to. Further, a real-time visualization of the first metric and/or the second metric may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20140095543
    Abstract: Techniques for managing parameterized continuous query templates are provided. In some examples, a continuous query may be generated based at least in part on one or more selections of one or more business logic templates and business event parameters associated with a user. The continuous query may also be configured to retrieve business event data of the user. In some examples, a service provider may receive selection of one or more business logic templates. The service provider may also receive the business event parameters associated with the user. The business event parameters may be received via the selected template. The continuous query may then be generated using the information received via the template.
