  • Publication number: 20200342842
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, soundproof covers for voice-controlled devices. For instance, a first portion of a soundproof cover may include a soundproof material that does not allow outside sound to travel to microphone(s) of a voice-controlled device. A second portion of the soundproof cover may include a material and/or openings that allows interior sound output by speaker(s) of the voice-controlled device to travel outside of the soundproof cover. In some instances, such as when the voice-controlled device includes a display, a third portion of the soundproof cover may include material and/or an opening that allows the display to be visible.

  • Publication number: 20150132729
    Abstract: This invention describes a journaling and graphing application that easily collects thoughts, data and feelings and relates them to a support community and flexible calendar. The application then presents data relating to events, challenges, and attitudes as either conducive to recovery, or antithetical to recovery and encourages good behavior through feedback, notifications and game dynamics. The application is comprised of six primary feature sets—journaling, community networking, polling and alerting, gamification, care paradigm and feedback. The system uses and co-occurrence and correlation of events over time to establish a predictive analysis of outcomes and to flag good and bad influences.

  • Patent number: 7908274
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a state-based, regular expression parser in which data, such as generally unstructured text, is received into the system and undergoes a tokenization process which permits structure to be imparted to the data. Tokenization of the data effectively enables various patterns in the data to be identified. In some embodiments, one or more components can utilize stimulus/response paradigms to recognize and react to patterns in the data.

  • Publication number: 20080098456
    Abstract: This invention discloses a system for determining whether a purported or alleged authorized user is in fact the authorized user, by comparing new data on a real-time basis against probability distribution representations including an authorized user probability distribution representation and a global or wide population probability distribution representation, to provide a probability as to whether the purported authorized user is the authorized user. This invention may utilize keyboard dynamics or data, or X-Y device data, or other data from similar measurable characteristics, to determine the probability that the new data from the purported authorized user indicates or identifies that user as the authorized user. This invention identifies the user continuously as the user interacts with the system and to identify a change in situation in the environment of the user.

  • Publication number: 20080092245
    Abstract: This invention discloses a system for determining whether a purported or alleged authorized user is in fact the authorized user, by comparing new data on a real-time basis against probability distribution representations including an authorized user probability distribution representation and a global or wide population probability distribution representation, to provide a probability as to whether the purported authorized user is the authorized user. This invention may utilize touch dynamics or data, or other data from similar measurable characteristics, to determine the probability that the new data from the purported authorized user indicates or identifies that user as the authorized user. This invention uses the same data to determine the probability for the most optimal position and sizes for user interface components.

  • Publication number: 20080040342
    Abstract: Data processing apparatus and methods are described. According to one embodiment, a data processing method includes identifying a plurality of tokens for a plurality of data items, first selecting some of the tokens of the data items as being indicative of content of respective ones of the data items, after the first selecting, combining the first selected tokens with other content of the data items to form combined tokens, and after the combining, second selecting some of the tokens including at least one of the combined tokens as being indicative of content of the data items.
