  • Publication number: 20180012170
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing contextually relevant task recommendations to qualified users is provided. Sensor data is collected for a user. The user's location is determined and subsequently, an activity of the user is determined based on the sensor data and the location. Two or more recommendable items are scored based on the activity and one or more of the recommendable items with the highest scores are selected. Finally, one or more recipients qualified to perform each of the recommendable items are identified.

  • Publication number: 20180012126
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for predicting activity outcome based on user attention is provided. Sensor data is collected for a user, and an activity performed by a user is identified based on the sensor data. Features of the user are collected while performing the activity and a subject of focus of the user is determined based on the collected features. An outcome of the activity performed by the user is predicted based on the features and the determined subject of focus.

  • Publication number: 20160298979
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for dynamic travel coordination is provided. A common destination is designated for a group of travelers for arrival at a common time. A mode of travel and a set of travel criteria are designated for each traveler. The travel criteria are determined for at least one of the travelers by receiving travel criteria for the at least one traveler from another traveler and receiving from the at least one traveler modifications to the received travel criteria. An initial route to the common destination at the common arrival time is created for each of the travelers based on the travel mode and travel criteria for that traveler. The initial route of one or more of the travelers is revised based on at least one of that traveler's designated travel criteria, a progress of one or more of the travelers, and travel conditions of the initial route.

  • Publication number: 20160179901
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing selective contextual exposure within social network situations is provided. Contextual information is generated for users. A plurality of social relationships is defined between the users and each social relationship is formed between one user and one of the remaining users. A set of graph production rules is applied to the user contextual information for each social relationship between the user and the one of the remaining users. The user contextual information is transformed based on the graph production rules. The transformed user contextual information is copied to the contextual information of the remaining user.

  • Patent number: 9372090
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for dynamically coordinating travel is provided. A plurality of travelers to arrive at a common destination at a common time are identified. A preferred mode of transportation to the destination and a starting location are received for each traveler. An initial route to the destination is generated for each of the travelers based on the received mode of transportation and starting location. Two or more of the travelers are joined by identifying possible pairings between at least two travelers and evaluating a time for each possible pairing of travelers to travel together. A time threshold is applied to the evaluated time for each possible pairing. The travelers of one such possible pairing with an evaluated time that satisfies the threshold are paired. The initial routes of the paired travelers are revised.

  • Patent number: 9200911
    Abstract: Social routing can be provided by a social router system that coordinates a group of travelers from disparate locations to reach a destination at a specified time, by dynamically recommending a traveling route to each of the travelers that comports with that traveler's traveling criteria. To recommend the route, the social router generates an initial routes for each of the travelers and revises the initial routes to join two or more travelers into one route en route to the destination based on the traveling criteria of the two or more travelers. The recommended traveling route is dynamic since the social router system allows for continuous revision of the traveling route based on changes of a traveling criteria, travel progress, conditions along the route, and other factors.

  • Patent number: 4581479
    Abstract: In a dimensionally precise electronic component mount, electrical terminals are affixed with dimensional precision to a rigid insulative base. An electronic component is affixed in precisely indexed abutment to the rigid insulative base. A protruding wire of the electronic component is conductively affixed within a v-shaped notch adjacent a notch apex in a second electrical terminal. Embodiments of the rigid insulated base include a flat rectangular plate and a hollow tube having a rectangular cross-section. Contact surfaces and contact pins coact respectively with hybrid substrates and printed circuit boards. Web means coupling adjacent iterated embodiments supports and provides dimensional precision during assembly. An embodiment having a plurality of electrical terminals permits accommodation of an electronic component having a plurality of protruding wires. Mechanical affixation is accomplished alternatively by soldering, welding or adhesives.
