Abstract: The invention is a system and method for computing a result for a location, wherein the result indicates how novel it is for a wireless device to occupy a specific location. After determining the location of a wireless device through various means, a Novelty Index Value (NIV) is calculated for the location, and the NIV is then stored into a database. The NIV may then be subsequently used by application programs to compute a desired result from the NIV. Multiple users may utilize and/or share the same NIV values. The NIV may also be used to alter the configuration of a wireless device as well. A recommendation system is also disclosed, wherein user context is utilized along with NIV values to compute particular results for a user.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed to provide recommendations to a wireless device, based on stored bookmark/short-cut data. When a wireless device accesses services, data pertaining to the service access, along with any context related information is transmitted within the wireless device, or to a remote server. The data is processed in conjunction with bookmarks/short-cuts specified within the device, and are organized and presented to the wireless device in accordance with preference instructions specified within the wireless device.

Abstract: A method for gene mapping from genotype and phenotype data utilizes linkage disequilibrium between genetic markers mi, which are polymorphic nucleic acid or protein sequences or strings of single-nucleotide polymorphisms deriving from a chromosomal region. All marker patterns P that satisfy a certain pattern evaluation function e(P) are searched from the data, each marker mi of the data is scored by a marker score and the location of the gene is predicted as a function of the scores s(mi) of all the markers mi in the data.

Abstract: A method and system for determining similarity between a first event set, the first event set including a first plurality of event types, and a second event set, the second event set including a second plurality of event types, is provided. Observed events are randomly mapped to a multidimensional vector-Q and query events are mapped to a multidimensional query vector-q. Comparison of the vectors for a predetermined similarity according to: ?Q?q??SV, where SV=a predetermined similarity value determines similarity.

Abstract: A mobile communication device, such as a mobile telephone, may be equipped with sensors for monitoring acceleration, noise level, luminosity and humidity. During a learning phase in the operation of the device, data from the sensors may be stored and associated with particular time segments. Usage of the device is monitored during the learning phase and associated with the sensor data. If a pattern of usage is detected for certain sensor levels, a rule for future similar situations is recognized and stored by the device. In a usage phase, the stored rules are applied to change a user interface of the device when similar future situations are encountered. The learning and usage phases of the device may overlap.

Abstract: Invention proposes a method to handle people related information, and a device being capable of executing said method. For example in a meeting with other peoples with this method being activated, a computer or mobile handset collects all information connected to people present in one folder to provided a fast and easy access to documents that are related to the people present. So the if an access to this information is needed, it can be performed by at least a single input. The method simplifies the access to documents located on a first low power radio device, wherein said documents are related to a person. The method is based on an identification of a person by identifying a second low power radio device carried by said person.
