Patent number: 8150707Abstract: A method and apparatus for assisting a user to formulate, apply and adhere to a changed behavior program. The user's commitment is established by presenting a number of potential barriers to implementing a desired behavioral change; asking a user to select one or more potential barriers; presenting a selected number of possible solutions to the barriers, receiving user input selecting at least one solution; and prompting the user to enter a commitment to one or more actions intended to assist the behavioral change. Maintenance of an exercise regime is assisted by displaying a selection of options for activities to be included in the exercise regime; allowing a user to select activities; displaying a schedule of planned exercise activities; and sending an electronic alert message to the user in advance of the scheduled activity.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Inventors: Christine Marie Hayet, Robert Hurling, Brian Patrick Newby, Shail Patel

Publication number: 20020004390Abstract: A method and system of managing telecommunication service and network connections in a colocation site is provided. A customer service module communicates with customers regarding at least one telecommunications resource within the colocation site. An engineering module manages provisioning of the telecommunications resource within the colocation site in response to communications with the customers. An MIS module collects information on operation of the telecommunications resource, and reports to the customers based on the collected information. The customer service module receives requests for pre-sales information (e.g., pricing, availability, equipment configuration, and space within the colocation site), receives and processes orders for use of the telecommunications resource, provides customers with account status, and receives requests to terminate use of the telecommunications resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2001Publication date: January 10, 2002Inventors: Rory Joseph Cutaia, Peter Barrett Feldman, Hunter Patrick Newby, Romelio Alberto Rivera
