Publication number: 20040030996Abstract: System for automatic selection of messages from a message source (1) to a user terminal (2). A server (3) comprises a register (5) for storing an interest vector of the terminal user. Vectorising means (7) generate a content vector for each message. Comparison means (9) compare the content vector with the interest vector and calculate their distance, while transmission means (6) transfer to the user terminal messages for which the distance between the two vectors does not exceed a threshold value. The vectorising means reduce the content vector by means of “Latent Semantic Indexing”. The user terminal (2) comprises means (12) for assigning to each message a first relevance weighting and also means (14) for measuring treatment variables from the user's treatment of the presented message and for calculating from this a second relevance weighting. Means (13) in the server update the terminal user's interest profile on the basis of the transferred first and second relevance weighting.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Inventors: Egidius Petrus Maria Van Liempd, Rene Martin Bultje

Publication number: 20020162024Abstract: A client application (16) establishes in a client network (10), a first connection having a first security level, directly with a first port (1) of a server application (17) hosted in a server machine (13) linked to a server network (11), in order to send messages addressed to the server machine (13). The messages pass from the client network (10) to the server network (11) through a network layer (CR) of a gateway machine (9). In the gateway machine, a secure application proxy reroutes the messages from the first connection, in a way that is transparent for the client application, and establishes a second connection having a second security level with the server application; the second connection is unknown to the client application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2001Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventors: Francois Cunchon, Rene Martin, N?apos;Guyen Van-Dung
