  • Publication number: 20130006908
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method using a computer-based FSTP expert system. The method manages an analysis of a claim in an endeavor p and a technical teaching TT.p underlying the endeavor over at least one document i in a reference set (RS) of documents and the technical teaching TT.i underlying the at least one document. The method comprises receiving at least one Pair of TT.p and the Reference Set (PTR). The user generates at least one anticipation combination (AC) based on the PTR An anticipation deficiency is evaluated for the at least one AC. At least one AC is identified wherein after a minimal number of conceptual modifications the TT.p is anticipated. A numerical semantic height of the TT.p over the RS of documents i is computed based on the number of conceptual modifications identified. A numerical pragmatic height of the TT.p over the RS is computed.

  • Publication number: 20120309449
    Abstract: A handover proactive association clearing support method and system supports minimizing handover times for at least one netsurfing end system, and optimizing a given market satisfaction function (MSF0) potentially depending on Internet-applications for whichever underlying HO technique, by potentially establishing pre-HO for free x/yz-, netsurfing x/yz-, and/or Sxyzj-association, called “clearing” them. An HO of an Ayz is optimal if its HO-time is “basically zero” and it complies with MSF0. The technical innovation of the method and system comprises for an Ayz determining any time its optimal HOs. This permanent predetermination of optimal HOs implies assessing permanently all parameters. Thus, when an Ayz must perform an HO, these pre-HO operations of the method/system would have already identified at least one optimal HO for it to a sharedIADx and/or an Sxyzj available to it and established the resp. x/yz-, netsurfing x/yz-, and Sxyzj-associations.

  • Publication number: 20120302242
    Abstract: The “HO Proactive Association Provisioning Support, HOPA-ProvS” method/system supports minimizing the handover times of netsurfing smartphones controlled by home Internet Access Devices (IADs) to shared IADs and optimizing earnings from these shared devices. The shared services are provisionable right at the HOs. A Sxyzjkm is made-up from the service of at least one Internet-app with a particular network service quality potentially restricted by given HOPA provisioning systems PSxyzjkm designed such as to optimize e.g. their common earnings from the shared IADx, x, y, z, j, k, m=0, 1, 2, . . . . This enables for any shared-IADx a pre- (and/or post-) HO automatic auction of its service capacity controlled by e.g. a PSxyzjkm and/or a HOPA clearing system. A further innovation is that the sharedIADx automatically generates lucrative clicks on services of location based Internet-apps issued by Ayz passing through sharedIADx's reach.

  • Publication number: 20120143807
    Abstract: Be TT.p the “technique teaching” of a patent or venture and RS a “reference set” of prior art technique teachings TT.i, any element of any TT described by attributes. Then the FSTP (semi)automatically determines their “technical secondary structured fact, <q, AS)>”, q?0 being the minimal number for which exists “q conceptual modifications, q-cM” and a “q-anticipation-combination, q-AC” of TT.i attributes, with “q-AC/mod(q-cM) achieves TT.p”, AS being the “achievement set” of all pairs <q-AC, set of all q-cMs for it>. q indicates TT.p as trivial/obvious over RS iff q=0, otherwise as nontrivial/nonobvious—whereby q>0 is the “semantic/creative height of TT.p over RS”, thus quantifying its “indicative power”, AS showing all shortest ways of finding TT.p starting from RS. The FSTP then, i) determines the minimal “creativity fact” of a venture's result—e.g. of a TT.p—starting from prior knowledge and ii) manages this fact regarding its contexts by an ontology based expert system (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20120131055
    Abstract: Be TT.p the “technique teaching” of a patent or venture, RS a “reference set” of prior art “technique teachings TT.i”, any “element” of any TT described by its properties, and all this information be presented as meaningful items. Then the FSTP Expert System supports managing an analysis of TT.p over RS such that it is able to reply automatically and instantly to any query for any item in this information. These answers may describe any interrelation between any items or properties/facts or comment on such interrelations or on some insights into them achieved while generating these items by or interactively with the FSTP Expert System. By formalization of these properties it also supports determining the value of q dependably indicating TT.p as trivial/obvious over RS iff q=0 and for q>0 showing the “creative height of TT.p over RS” and quantifying the “power” of this indication.

  • Patent number: 8175083
    Abstract: A method for transferring data from a first switch to a second switch selectively by line-switching or by packet-switching as well as to a switch for carrying out the method. Data packets are thereby first transferred packet-switched through a packet-switching network to the second switch. With the presence of a corresponding control signal a line-switching connection is established from the first switch to the second switch and the data are then transferred through this connection. Where applicable a renewed changeover to a packet-switching transfer is carried out. A flexible packet-switching or line-switching data transfer linked with dynamic costs between the junctions of a telecommunications network is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20090274115
    Abstract: This patent application discloses a “netsurfing” method for a terminal system A0—with a real or virtual A0-homeIAD0 and an A0 connection to a second terminal system Z0—for its “managed handover” MHO to a real IADx in a WLANx or to a virtual IADx for a mobile netx (IAD=integrated access device). The MHO is supported by the A0-homeIAD0. An A0 connection is often relayed over an MHO module MHOM which is controlled by the MHO specification MHOS in the A0-homeIAD0. This offers benefits to both operators of shared IADx/A0-homeIAD0 and users of their homeTerminalSystems. An MHOM (including or excluding MHOS) differs essentially from a “home agent” of the internet mobility technology and can therefore also support present-day WiFi/FMC telephones. I.e.: The netsurfing method is in the short term geared to the VoIP telephony—but is not restricted thereto.

  • Publication number: 20090147750
    Abstract: This invention discloses an automatic and network-transparent “handover convenience information support” method (HOCIS method) for a subscriber (SUBC) of a primary communications process (alias primary telecommunications process alias primary TC process, PTCP) in which an HO takes place—wherein this HO process can comprise arbitrary times prior or after the “actual HO”. “Convenience information support” thereby means inter alia that this PTCP-SUBC has not necessarily requested this HOCIS, but he nevertheless as a rule regards this then unasked-for support as convenient or helpful, such as for example a passenger on a flight regarding associated announcements/references/measures (=convenience information support) at the departure or arrival airport. As opposed to such often uniform measures the HOCIS is as a rule individually configurable by someone affected by it.
