  • Patent number: 11522827
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer readable code for determining whether a potential relay device is a relay device are provided herein. In some embodiments, first and second information elements are received from a potential relay device, which is an original source of the second information element. In order to determine whether the potential relay device is a relay device, it is determined whether a feature of an original source of the first information element and a feature of the potential relay device are features unlikely to relate to a single device, wherein a positive result of the determining is indicative that the potential relay device is a relay device. In an exemplary embodiment, a disclosed system includes an information element receiver and a feature incompatibility analyzer. Optionally, the disclosed system includes a feature discovery module, a parameter obtainer and a feature database.

  • Publication number: 20220148218
    Abstract: A system and method for eye tracking includes receiving an input image including at least a portion of a person's retina, finding a spatial transformation between the input image and a reference image, the reference image including at least a portion of the person's retina and calculating a change in orientation of an eye of the person corresponding to the spatial transformation. A processor may calculate, from the change in orientation an orientation of the person's eye associated with the input image, a direction of gaze associated with the input image, a gaze target associated with the input image and/or a ray of gaze associated with the input image.

  • Publication number: 20150058141
    Abstract: Detecting and mitigating advertisement abuse software on a user device includes producing a digital document comprising a specification for a default advertisement and content. Advertisement abuse software for preventing the default advertisement from being displayed as specified on the user device is detected based on a test associated with one or more test elements. A specification for embedding an alternative advertisement in the digital document is generated, so as to prevent detection by advertisement abuse software, and a display of one of the default advertisement and the alternative advertisement is facilitated on the user device based on whether advertisement abuse software is detected.

  • Patent number: 8195673
    Abstract: It is provided a method of matching pairs of persons. The method includes receiving from the persons personal opinions on other persons, and based on a collaborative filtering algorithm, calculating from the personal opinions a first estimated opinion of a first person on a second person and a second estimated opinion of the second person on the first person. The method also includes matching the two persons in accordance with the estimated opinions and connecting them for a predetermined time duration. The first estimated opinions may be the estimated probability that the first person wants to be matched to the second person. The matching of the two persons is done in accordance with the product of the probabilities. Matching order is determined by a difference between a highest and a second highest product of a person in two different pairs.
