Abstract: A system and method are described for collecting and providing health-related information of a patient’s medical record or information from a plurality of health-service providers using a clinical data connector and clinical document collector. In some instances, all or a part of the collected information are received through a web application or web service (e.g., of a third-party requestor).

Abstract: A method includes receiving a request for clinical information associated with one or more patients from a requestor, the request being associated with requested values for one or more parameters associated with a plurality of network sources for retrieving the clinical information; comparing the requested values with characteristic values for the one or more parameters of each of the plurality of network sources to generate a comparison result; selecting one of the plurality of network sources based on the comparison result; and communicating the request for clinical information to the one of the plurality of network sources that was selected.

Abstract: A system and method of granting and removing a user's security access to applications on a computer using proximity of authorized RFID tags is disclosed. A user having an authorized RFID tag that is located near the computer will be granted access to pre-authorized applications.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments help the user of an electronic device with a touch screen to quickly and accurately select an actionable component on the touch screen before launching an application and reduce errors that can occur by inadvertently touching the wrong component. This problem is solved by providing a way to place the focus on a component (e.g., soft keyboard key) of the user interface before launching the associated application. A relative distance algorithm may be used to determine the closest actionable component to the touch point. Focus is placed on that component by highlighting, speech, audio indicator or some other means, clearly indicating to the user which icon has been selected.

Abstract: The invention permits network management services, utilized by a user via a software based console, used on any network connected device, viewed as a web page via the internet. Dynamic updating of the devices available to the console is performed by a Multicast Discovery Protocol. Multicast Remote Procedure Calls permit simultaneous command processing among an authorized target group of devices. A Multicast File Transfer Protocol permits time and bandwidth efficient one to many file transfers via a data stream at a pre-specified address which many clients simultaneously monitor. Hand shaking for the transfer is rotated among the clients so that they may each recover any lost data frames. Use of client registries for storing network data allows clients to be automatically configured upon connection to the network. Virtual monitoring and control over the clients may be exercised from the console by executing remote procedure calls.
