  • Publication number: 20230350925
    Abstract: Implementations relate to systems and methods for aggregating and presenting data related to geographic locations. Geotag data related to geographic locations and associated features or attributes can be collected to build a regional profile characterizing a set of locations within the region. Geotag data related to the constituent locations, such as user ratings or popularity ranks for restaurants, shops, parks, or other features, sites, or attractions, can be combined to generate a profile of characteristics of locations in the region. The platform can generate recommendations of locations to transmit to the user of a mobile device, based for instance on the location of the device in the region as reported by GPS or other location service and the regional profile. Geotag data can include audio data analyzed using region-specific terms, and user recommendations can be presented via dynamic menus based on regional profiles, user preferences or other criteria.

  • Publication number: 20220062546
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments allow a user to have more aggressive settings or less aggressive settings for an AID system after demonstrating good blood glucose level control. This allows the settings to be more quickly customized to users that demonstrate good quality blood glucose level control than conventional systems. As these users have demonstrated good quality glucose level control there is less of a need to constrain the settings and provide a high margin of safety. Conversely, users demonstrating poor quality blood glucose level control may have less aggressive settings imposed, representing a higher margin of safety.

  • Patent number: 8645491
    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that enable hybrid web and native applications. A communications device may be equipped to process one or more links where each link may be associated with a workflow directive. Further, the communications device may be equipped to process a workflow directive associated with a link to pre-render a template while a content request including the link is being transmitted. Still further, the communications device may be equipped to apply content received in response to the content request to the pre-rendered template.

  • Publication number: 20070223539
    Abstract: A system and method for voice transmission over high level network protocols. On the Internet and the World Wide Web, such high level protocols are HTTP/TCP. The restrictions imposed by firewalls and proxy servers are avoided by using HTTP level connections to transmit voice data. In addition, packet delivery guarantees are obtained by using TCP instead of UDP. Variable compression based on silence detection takes advantage of the natural silences and pauses in human speech, thus reducing the delays in transmission caused by using HTTP/TCP. The silence detection includes the ability to bookend the voice data sent with small portions of silence to insure that the voice sounds natural. Finally, the voice data is transmitted to each client computer independently from a common circular list of voice data, thus insuring that all clients will stay current with the most recent voice data. The combination of these features enables simple, seamless, and interactive Internet conferencing.
