  • Patent number: 11514349
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a geometric aggregator that receives data for a set of time periods and a location. The data has a first set of first metric values and a set of second metric values for each time period and lacks a mixture of Gaussian distributions. The geometric aggregator calculates a geometric aggregation of the data for each time period to produce a first metric value from a second set of first metric values, having a mixture of Gaussian distributions. The apparatus includes a Gaussian mixture model that predicts a set of Gaussian distributions, each uniquely associated with a season, within a set of histogram values for the data based on the second set of first metric values. The apparatus includes a presentation portion that produces a set of adjusted first metric values based on the set of histogram values, each uniquely associated with a season.

  • Publication number: 20150138300
    Abstract: A mobile device, and a method and computer program product for displaying a streaming video image at the mobile device during a packet based video call via a channel established over a wireless communication network, the method comprising: receiving a speed indication of the mobile device and sending said indication to a communication client application; and responsive to receiving said indication, the communication client application configured to limit the amount of information in the streaming video image that is supplied for display on a display means of the mobile device during the video call when the speed of the mobile device is greater than, or equal to, a first predetermined speed threshold.
