Abstract: A communication system comprises a set of specialized backend servers 100 and groups of terminals (210, 220) connected through the Internet. Users of the communication system can make video calls and share text messages, images and video clips through the terminals (210, 220). The terminals in this system are organized into private terminal groups 200 of varying sizes. Each group has only one controller terminal 210 and one or more display terminals 220. Both types of terminals provide an easy-to-use graphic user interface for the user to access the communication services provided by the system. Communication and information sharing between any display terminals must be pre-authorized by their controllers. This communication system, while ensuring security and privacy, addresses the needs of caregiver groups that include caregiver professionals, family members and care receivers, to facilitate private conference calls, information sharing and caring activity coordination.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes positioning a sliding window over a string of data and calculating a hash value using a rolling hash function for data encompassed by the sliding window. The method includes determining whether the calculated hash value for the data encompassed by the sliding window matches the value of an element in a cut point candidate (CPC) array by comparing the calculated hash value to the value of a first element in the CPC array. In response to the calculated hash value being equal to the value of the first element in the CPC array, the method includes defining an index of the sliding window as the cutting point for a data block.

Abstract: A portable data-management system may be easily employed with multiple processing devices by eliminating the need to pre-install additional programs, agents, device drivers, or other software components on the hosts. A portable storage device contains software for a data-management application, which receives and processes test data from a meter that measures an analyte. The portable device may employ an interface protocol that makes the portable device immediately compatible with different operating systems and hardware configurations. Once the portable device is connected to the host, the data-management application can be automatically launched. The convenience and portability of a data-management system may be enhanced by integrating advanced data processing and display features with the portable device. The users may access some advanced presentations of health data without having to launch the data-management application on a separate host.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: sending one or more instructions to a web crawler to identify presentation videos on the internet and capture video data therefrom. In response, video data which corresponds to various presentation videos on the internet is received from the web crawler.

The video data is also used to define labels, where different combinations of the labels represent different conditions of one or more audience members in the presentation videos. Furthermore, structured data is generated by correlating certain presenter conditions with certain audience conditions, and the structured data is stored in memory.
