  • Patent number: 11663036
    Abstract: A parallel processing unit (PPU) can be divided into partitions. Each partition is configured to operate similarly to how the entire PPU operates. A given partition includes a subset of the computational and memory resources associated with the entire PPU. Software that executes on a CPU partitions the PPU for an admin user. A guest user is assigned to a partition and can perform processing tasks within that partition in isolation from any other guest users assigned to any other partitions. Because the PPU can be divided into isolated partitions, multiple CPU processes can efficiently utilize PPU resources.

  • Patent number: 10817965
    Abstract: A system and method dynamically presenting video content based on a visually-defined scripting editor that defines a user presentation context (UPC) based on audio/video content, user query/responses, and one or more asynchronous event triggers (AETs) is disclosed. The system incorporates a graphical user interface (GUI) based scripting editor operating on a host computer system (HCS) that enables visual definition of an interconnected video script network (VSN) that may include synchronously displayed content, decision-based content, and/or content dictated by the AETs. The VSN is converted to a video script dataset (VSD) by the HCS and then transmitted over a computer communication network (CCN) to a mobile user device (MUD) that executes the VSD in a user interface context (UIC) that may include the MUD, other devices such as a video display unit (VDU), and/or external data sourcing devices that may constitute the sources for the AETs.

  • Patent number: 10296722
    Abstract: A system and method providing virtual physical rehabilitation services to a patient in the context of automated patient healthcare delivery is disclosed. The system/method are controlled by a patient healthcare plan (PHP) deployed from a host computer system (HCS) that triggers execution of a video script dataset (VSD) to coordinate presentation to a patient of rehabilitation audio/video information (AVI) derived from a video database (VDB). A mobile user device (MUD) executes the PHP autonomously to coordinate AVI display on a video display unit (VDU) for patient presentation. Patient reactions to the AVI are observed by a video imaging unit (VIU). An operator interface computer (OIC) communicates with the HCS and MUD permitting visualization of the VIU and AVI information by a healthcare provider and allowing observed patient behavior to be synchronously scored/logged/stored in a patient history database (PHD) by the HCS.

  • Patent number: 9582641
    Abstract: A system and method distributing healthcare database access is disclosed. The system and method interpose a data mapping server (DMS) between a data request user server (DRS) and data service user server (DSS) to manage data transfers between the DSS and the DRS such that disparate database characteristics of the DRS/DSS are accommodated in real-time and permit asynchronous healthcare activity to be triggered. The DMS operates with a data access matrix (DAM) having each referenced DRS/DSS intersection pair associated with read/write control processes (RWP) that include read data (RDD) and write data (WRD) processes to permit data access across the disparate DRS/DSS database boundaries. The DAM may have multiple dimensions to accommodate asynchronously activated process threads within an overall patient healthcare plan (PHP) that operate to trigger healthcare provider alarms and other activity associated with the transfer/update of data between the DSS and the DRS.

  • Publication number: 20140297329
    Abstract: A system and method to determine and reconcile medication provided to a patient is disclosed. The system and method collect a medication image file (MIF) of a patient medication collection (PMC) using a mobile user device (MUD) and pill source imager (PSI). The MUD transmits the MIF to a host computer system (HSC) via a computer communication network (CCN). The HSC isolates individual MIF medication image elements (MIE) and compares each MIE against a pill image database (PID) to generate a potential pill match (PPM) list. The PPM is filtered and prioritized to produce a prioritized medication list (PML) using data from a pill correlation database (PCD), patient history database (PHD), and medical reading database (MRD). The PML describes probable PPM associations with specific known medications. A HCS graphical user interface (GUI) permits validation of each MIE/PML pair to produce a patient reconciled validated medication list (VML).

  • Publication number: 20140297328
    Abstract: A system and method extending mobile video data across multiple display hardware platforms is disclosed. The system incorporates a mobile user interface device (MUD) interacting with a video control unit (VCU) to present display video content (DVC) on a video display unit (VDU). The MUD and VCU coordinate to control their respective display content in real-time based on a specific integrated user interaction context (UIC) provided by the MUD to the VCU. The VCU executes the UIC to control the merging in real-time of primary video content (PVC) and secondary video content (SVC) that are combined to form the DVC. Video content processed by the VCU as PVC/SVC input may be sourced from external video sources (EVS) directly connected to the VCU and/or data sourced from a computer communications network (CCN) via routing through the MUD and/or VCU.

  • Publication number: 20140297301
    Abstract: A system and method integrating healthcare delivery to patients using data bridges that connect healthcare providers, patients, patient medical education, and patient monitoring devices is disclosed. The system incorporates a mobile user interface device (MUD) allowing user inputs or detected events from a variety of medical instrumentation devices (MID) to be controlled by a healthcare web server computer (HWS) over a computer communication network (CCN). Information retrieved from the MID and transmitted by the MUD to the HWS is then used by a patient healthcare monitor (PHM) process to populate a medical records database (MRD). MRD contents are then matched to patient healthcare plan (PHP) event/time triggers (ETT) that drive information from a provider content database (PCD) to the MUD through the HWS over the CCN. Healthcare provider update/control of the PHP/ETT/PCD allow integration of patient educational materials with patient health status monitoring.
