Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to motion tracking synchronization in virtual reality systems. In an embodiment, a computing system that includes a processor and a memory including computer readable instructions is provided. The processor is configured to, based on execution of the computer readable instructions, receive an indication from a virtual reality (VR) application that the VR application has started, receive tracking data from a first motion tracking system and a second motion tracking system, each motion tracking system comprising one or more sensors, and generate system-independent tracking objects from the tracking data. The processor is further configured to, based on execution of the computer readable instructions, format the system-independent tracking objects into VR objects compatible with a VR system, transmit the VR objects to the VR system, and provide a real world environment view to users overlaid or independent of VR environment.

Abstract: A payment bill query request initiated by a user through a third-party payment platform is obtained at a payment platform server. Whether a payment institution has generated a payment bill for the user is determined based on the payment bill query request, where the payment institution does not provide the third-party payment platform with bill generation information. If so, user information associated with the user is obtained by the payment platform server and based on the payment bill. Whether information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has been pushed to the region that the user belongs to is determined. If not, the information for notification that the payment institution has generated a payment bill is pushed to each user associated with the third-party payment platform within the region that the user belongs to through an account of the third-party payment platform.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for form operation on a mobile terminal. An exemplary method may include detecting an input hand gesture on a screen, and acquiring a trajectory of the input hand gesture. The method may also include matching the acquired trajectory of the input hand gesture with the hand gestures in correspondence in accordance with the hand-gesture comparison rules. The correspondence between hand gestures, hand-gesture comparison rules, and form operations is preset. The method may further include triggering a corresponding form operation if the matching is successful.

Abstract: An electronic clinical decision support (CDS) device executes (54) clinical decision rules (8) using a computer (10, 12) to generate predicted values of clinical conclusions (58) for a current patient based on values for the current patient of preconditions of the clinical decision rules (52). The rules are also executed (36) to generate predicted values of the clinical conclusions (38) for past patients based on values for the past patients of the preconditions (32) retrieved from an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) (20). Rule summary scores (42) are generated (40) based on comparisons of “ground truth” values of the clinical conclusions (34) for the past patients retrieved from the EMR with the predicted values of the clinical conclusions for the past patients. A display (14) shows the predicted values of the clinical conclusions and the corresponding applied rules for the current patient ranked at least in part by the rule summary scores.

Abstract: A method for starting network-based services using a vocal interface includes collecting voice information from a user and identifying network-based service information and transaction data. The network-based service information includes a voice command for starting one or more network-based services for the user. The transaction data includes one or more parties associated with a transaction and a transaction amount. The method further includes sending at least a portion of the voice information that includes the network-based service information and the transaction data to a server to process the one or more network-based services based on the service information and the transaction data.

Abstract: Presented are concepts for providing subject-specific information. One such concept comprises obtaining a first knowledge model, the first knowledge model comprising a plurality of clinical data elements for a population of subjects and relationship information representing one or more relationships between the clinical data elements. Also obtained is historical data relating to a sub-population of the population of subjects, the historical data relating to previously-obtained clinical data elements and relationship information for the sub-population. A second knowledge model is generated based on the first knowledge model and the historical data. A subject-specific model is generated based on the second knowledge model and subject-specific data relating to a subject.

Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method for generating a care plan for a subject. A plurality of care plans stored in one or more databases are accessed (202). The plurality of care plans are grouped into a plurality of care plan categories based on a similarity measure between one or more attributes of the plurality of care plans. Each of the plurality of care plans is associated with a reference subject. A care plan category for the subject is identified from the plurality of care plan categories using a trained classifier (204). A care plan for the subject is generated (206) based on the one or more care plans that are grouped into the identified care plan category, by maximizing a similarity measure between one or more attributes of the subject and one or more corresponding attributes of the reference subjects.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for file path storage and local file access are disclosed to improve the efficiency of accessing local files. The file page storage method monitors local files in different storage areas, with the different storage areas including storage areas corresponding to different applications APPs. The method obtains file paths of the monitored local files, and stores the file paths in a preset storage area. The method obtains the file paths from the preset storage area when an instruction of acquiring local files inputted by a user is received, and accesses the local files corresponding to the file paths.
