  • Publication number: 20150025793
    Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention may be directed to a system for facilitating data processing in a visual manner. An application may include, inter alia, a basket component for visually representing the particular data items that a user desires to be processed by an application. The application may allow a user to initially search for data items that may be of interest (e.g., points-of-interest or POIs). A user may select POIs to obtain additional descriptive information regarding each data item. If the selected POI is to be included in processing, a user may drag the visual representation of the POI into the basket component. When the basket component contains all POIs desired for processing, the user may further instruct the application to formulate a result that is a composite of some or all of the POIs in the basket component.

  • Publication number: 20100325127
    Abstract: An approach is provided for automatic geo-location and social group indexing thereby search geo-locations. A geo-location search learning platform receives a query specifying words, and retrieves context information of a user based upon a criterion. The geo-location search learning platform then assigns to the user a social group identifier identifying a social group based on the context information, retrieves one or more social group indexes based upon the social group identifier, retrieves one or more geo-location indexes based upon the one or more social group indexes, and generates a search result using, in response to the query, the one or more geo-location indexes and the words.

  • Publication number: 20100306211
    Abstract: An approach is provided for automatic geo-location search learning. A geo-location search learning platform receives a query specifying words, and initiates a point-of-interest search on the query, an address search on the query, and a partial search on some of the words. The geo-location search learning platform then combines results of the point-of-interest search, the address search, and the partial search, determines context information for a user; and sorts the combined results based on the context information thereby recommending the researched results to the user in a priority list as sorted.

  • Publication number: 20050067429
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a display dispenser having a disposable molded tray with a thin shell, unibody construction that firmly receives a removable pusher assembly. The tray is formed from a unitary sheet of plastic that forms inner and outer shells. Each shell forms the inside or outside half of a continuous wall around the perimeter of the tray. The two wall halves are integrally joined along a top portion, but otherwise spaced apart to provide a double-walled construction. Each wall has a frustoconical shape so that the trays nest into each other when stacked. The inner shell has an interior portion with two symmetrical side ledges that support and align the sides of the packages. The top of the package faces forward to show the artistic design on the article such as the paper plates or paper napkins inside. The inner shell has a central recess that snuggly receives the unified pusher assembly. A rim extending from the wall and a floor of the recess lay flat on a surface of a shelf.
