Abstract: The present invention is related to an environmental monitoring and analyzing device. The device contains a plurality of sensors, a control unit and a display unit. The different types of sensor obtain values of different environmental parameters. The control unit receives the obtained values of the environmental parameters and compares the obtained values against predetermined standards and criteria which define parameter ranges of the different environmental parameters. A display unit displays a real-time air quality report comprising a user-friendly interpretation of the obtained values and recommendations in response to the obtained values. The present invention record and analyze the cause and consequence on the changed of level of different environmental parameters at different time duration, it also provide a tool to record and analyze the cause of some possible disease of the occupants.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for real-time inventory tracking with a mobile device, including: receiving a communication for a stationary inventory item via a cellular or wireless network from a tracking server that is coupled with the cellular or wireless network; and tracking the stationary inventory item on a registered consumer mobile device in real-time via the cellular or wireless network, wherein tracking comprises: receiving an updated status regarding a quantity and a location related to the stationary inventory item; and displaying the updated status on a screen of the mobile device in real time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for searching data and grouping search results into clusters that are ordered according to search relevance. Each cluster comprises one or more data type, such as images, web pages, local information, news, advertisements, and the like. In one embodiment, a search term is evaluated for related concepts indicating categories of data sources to search. Data sources may also be identified by context information such as a location of a client device, a currently running application, and the like. Search results in each cluster are ordered by relevance and each cluster is given a score based on an aggregate of the relevance within the cluster. Each cluster score may be modified based on one or more corresponding concepts and/or context information. The clusters are ordered based on the modified scores. Content, including advertisements, may also be added to the ordered list to appear as another cluster.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for authority ranking for real time and social search. An authority index configured to store data relating to sources is generated. Data relating to the sources, including an authority value, are generated and stored at the authority index. The authority value may be defined as a function of source, topic, and point of view (“POV”), as well as other data, if desired, and may be determined based upon one or more ranking functions. The ranking functions are determined, and data corresponding to the ranking functions is obtained. Each of the ranking functions may be weighted according to a weighting function, a confidence value or interval, one or more time functions, and/or other methods. The obtained authority value may be used for affecting ranking of search results or for other purposes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing popular content are disclosed. Generally, a request for popular content is received from a device. The request for popular content includes at least one parameter associated with users that previously accessed the popular content. A popularity module identifies the popular content based on a frequency of users associated with the at least one parameter accessing the popular content. The identified popular content is then served to the device.

Abstract: A system is described for assembling and providing problem solving frameworks. The system may include a processor, a memory and an interface. The memory may store a template for solving a problem. The template may include several tasks, each task associated with an attribute indicating whether the task should be performed by a machine. The interface may communicate with a user and components. The processor may receive a request to solve a problem and may identify the template for solving the problem. The processor may assign each task in the template to a machine component if the associated attribute indicates a machine should perform the task. The processor may provide the tasks to the assigned components and may receive responses from the assigned components. The processor may determine a solution to the problem based on the responses received from the components, and may provide the solution to the user.

Abstract: A system is described for detecting user input error. The system may include a processor, a memory and an interface being operatively connected. The memory may store an item, existing items, and a match score of each existing item. The processor may receive the item input by the user, and a request to perform an action using the item, via the interface. The processor may identify the existing items relate to the requested action. The processor may calculate a match score of each of the existing items. The processor may identify the existing item which most closely matches the input item. The processor may alert the user if the match score of the closest matching existing item meets an alert criterion, and the closest matching existing item is not an exact match of the input item.
