Abstract: Shopping related data is obtained by using a weight sensor on a shelf to determine a reduction in weight of product on the shelf, and noting the time, and then detecting weight added to a near-by located shopping cart using a sensor, and noting the time. This data is communicated to a processor, which determines a probability that a product has been moved from the shelf to the cart if the reduction in weight upon the shelf is the same weight as the increase in weight upon the cart. Using this data, it is possible to determine a time interval during which a shopper considered purchasing the product.

Abstract: A significant recent trend in the internet and mobile telephony has been the dominance of user generated content. As such, in mobile technology have permitted users to upload content onto the internet, whereby sites provide an easily accessible and manageable medium for users to share their thoughts and form a portal for media-rich exchanges. It has been found that much of what is exchanged by users in such settings is context-sensitive, ranging from users' moods and opinions, to communication about users' plans. Broadly contemplated herein, in accordance with at least one embodiment of the invention, is the employment of data mining in information repositories settings to efficiently classify an information stream in real-time and thereby discern user intent.

Abstract: A method includes the following steps. A request is received to locate one or more convenient communication devices for a recipient of an interaction request. A command is issued to search for the recipient at one or more communication devices. Information related to the recipient is received from the one or more communication devices. A convenience score is computed for each of the one or more communication devices based on the received information. The interaction request is forwarded to one of the one or more communication devices based on the one or more computed convenience scores.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention identifies a positive reaction to an advertisement and sends the advertisement to a mobile and/or wearable electronic device of a user. The advertisement can be sent to the mobile and/or wearable electronic device of the user only when the user is within a first threshold distance to a store of the advertiser, the user is within a second threshold distance to a store that is within a third threshold degree of similarity to the advertisement, the user is within the second threshold distance to a store that is within the third threshold degree of similarity to the advertiser, the user is browsing a website of the advertiser, the user is browsing a website that is within a fourth threshold degree of similarity to the advertisement, and/or the user is browsing a website that is within the fourth threshold degree of similarity to the advertiser.
