Patent number: 8914044Abstract: An approach for enabling contextual categories to be associated and scored in connection with a defined geographic region is described. An affinity determination platform identifies an anomaly in a score associated with at least one contextual category of a defined geographic region based on information related to the points-of-interest. The affinity determination platform generates an updated score to associate with the at least one contextual category based on the analysis of verification information related to the defined geographical region and associates the updated score with the contextual category.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Madhusudan Raman, Renu Chipalkatti

Patent number: 8862565Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for finding documents, such as Web pages, for presentation to a user, automatically or in response to a user expression of interest, which documents are part of a Web site being accessed by the user, and which documents relate to a document, such as a Web page, being accessed in the Web site. The method takes advantage of information retrieval techniques. The method generates the search query to use to find documents by reference to the text of the document in the Web site being accessed by the user. The method further uses a weighting function to weigh the terms used in the search query.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Renu Chipalkatti, Jeffrey Getchius, Jay Ponte

Patent number: 8731195Abstract: An approach for enabling contextual categories to be associated and scored in connection with a defined geographic region is described. A transient services platform establishes, based on biometric authentication of a user, a limited session for completing a transaction. The transient services platform then determines, based on a defined geographic region, a context to associate with the transaction. Credentials associated with the user are transferred to the transaction agent based on the authentication and the determined context.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Madhusudan Raman, Renu Chipalkatti

Patent number: 8726321Abstract: A master scheduler system and method automatically operate and/or coordinate operation of a plurality of relatively independent systems, including manual systems, to function as an NVOD system to provide automating diverse operations for supporting and maintaining an NVOD system. The master scheduler system and method may also be applied to automate manual processes of analog-based and digital broadcast based service. The master scheduler receives, processes, and disseminates NVOD schedule-related information for end-to-end NVOD service; that is, sending video from a back-end which stores video data to a head-end for viewing by a user. The master scheduler also provides operations support for the NVOD system, such as maintaining the head-end configuration, allocating channels, performing asset management, performing content management, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Verizon Laboratories Inc.Inventors: Andrew Fransman, Renu Chipalkatti
