  • Publication number: 20130268317
    Abstract: An executing electronic arrangement for producing foodstuff recommendations and facilitating shopping in grocery stores, includes semantic context management entity configured to maintain semantic context-defining user information relative to a plurality of users, which indicates user preferences relative to groceries based on obtained explicit or implicit preference information, a base item recommendation entity configured to determine, for a first user, a plurality of more generic grocery recommendations based on the semantic context of the first user and the semantic contexts of a number of other users considered as neighbors to the first user according to predetermined similarity criteria, and a product recommendation entity configured to derive, for the first user, a shopping list incorporating a plurality of recommended products relative to a predetermined store offering such products, representing more specific instances of the determined more generic grocery recommendations and being derived utilizing

  • Publication number: 20100070160
    Abstract: A navigation system using a mobile terminal (14), GPS receiver (13), navigation server (15) and navigation software, wherein the navigation software is arranged to detect defects in navigation or driving conditions data. Defects in the navigation or driving conditions data are detected by comparing the actual behavior of the user with the route computed and sug-gested by the navigation software. The difference be-tween the actual route taken by the user and the com-puted route is detected and sent to the navigation server (15). The navigation server (15) then collects statistical information on such locations on the map where users repeatedly choose a different route from the computed route and determines, based on the sta-tistics, the possible defect in the navigation or driving conditions data.

  • Publication number: 20090265096
    Abstract: The route computing method and software using a two-step routing procedure. First the navigation software computes a temporary route using road segments having a predetermined road classification. This simplifies the routing as the amount of the roads is minimized. The result is rough and it must be further computed for achieving the best possible result. For computing the best possible result the navigation software determines a distance parameter. The parameter determines the distance that is used for further computing from the temporary route. Then the further computation can be focused on a geographical area with a complete set of roads and streets.

  • Publication number: 20090216439
    Abstract: A vehicle tracking method using a route model for estimating the exact location of the tracked vehicle. The estimated location is computed in the vehicle by tracking device (14) and in the tracking center (15). The tracking device acquires the exact location with positioning means (13). Then the tracking device compares the difference between the computed location and the computed location to a threshold value. If the threshold is exceeded, the exact location will be sent to the tracking center.

  • Publication number: 20020178356
    Abstract: According to the invention, the problem of checking the identity of others is alleviated by creating a mechanism, which allows users to trust and utilize the checking work performed by certain other users, so that every user need not check and confirm the identity of every other user. This can be accomplished by allowing a user who has checked that the identity of a number of other users truly correspond to their certificates, produce a list of these checked certificates, so that other users can import the list of checked certificates into their systems.
