  • Publication number: 20230112584
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for providing person re-identification and tracking. The system may track a person at a location across multiple cameras in real time, while maintaining identification of the person through their visit. The person may not be personally identified; however, the person's presence in video frames captured by different cameras may be linked together. The linked frames may be evaluated by one or more analytics applications. For example, an analytics application may determine a trajectory of a person through a location and plot an overlay of that person's trip through the location on the map. This information may be used, for example, to optimize store layout, asset protection purposes, for counting a number of people at the location at a given time (e.g., for understanding busy hours of the location), determining whether social distancing or other health and/or safety measures may be in compliance, etc.

  • Publication number: 20210312312
    Abstract: Methods and systems for attributing browsing activity from two or more different network-connected devices to a single user are disclosed. In one aspect, cookies generated by the browsing activity of different unidentified devices at a website are received. A random forest classifier trained on probabilities output from a Gaussian mixture model is applied to the unidentified cookies to determine a probability that two different cookies were generated by the same user. In some embodiments, personalized content is then delivered to the user based on the characteristics of the paired cookies.

  • Patent number: 10268553
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for predicting data storage device failures using adaptive failure prediction modeling. In some embodiments, monitored parameters are used to predict a potential imminent failure of a first data storage device using a first copy of a first failure prediction model (FPM). Data associated with the predicted potential imminent failure are transferred by the device across a computer network to a host device. The host device generates an updated, second FPM responsive to the transferred data as well as from data from at least a second data storage device transmitted across the computer network having a second copy of the first FPM. A first copy of the updated, second FPM is transferred, via the network, for use by the second data storage device.
