Abstract: A method and an inference engine for processing telephone communication data of telephone parties of a telephone network are provided to allow better services and better allocation of resources in a telephone network. The inference engine comprises an obtainer for obtaining telephone communication data that associates telephone parties identifiable by telephone network identifiers with usage data that describes usage of one or more services of a telephone network. Further, the inference engine also comprises a generator for generating contact structure data for a set of the telephone parties based on the telephone communication data, wherein the contact structure data expresses a degree of connectivity between each member of at least a part of the set and one or more other members. The generated data gives the required information to improve services and resource allocation in the network.

Abstract: A server which manages the activities of a user includes a region discovery module that receives location data over time of the user and determines an area of the user any given time from the location data. The server includes a task and location modeling module which determines whether a task for the user is currently linked with the area; and where a task is linked with the user, the task and location modeling module submits task information to the user; and where no task is linked with the area, the task and location modeling module inquires the user whether a new task is desired to be linked with the area. A method for managing the activities of a user. An apparatus that accompanies a user. A method for assisting the activities of a user.
