Abstract: A method of persona-based service delivery includes receiving use data from a sensor and from a service device while a user interacts with the service device in a current environment. Based on the use data, the method includes developing, a preference that reflects the interaction by the user with the service device as monitored by the sensor. Based on the preference, the method includes developing a command instruction that modifies a physical operational condition of the service device consistent with the preference. The method includes storing a persona specific to the user, the persona including the preference and the command instruction for the user in the current environment. The method includes subsequently receiving collected data that includes a user characteristic of the user in the current environment. In response to receipt of the collected data, the method includes downloading the persona of the user to the sensor.

Abstract: An intelligent medication dispenser provides automated dispensing of medication for personal use by a patient. The intelligent medication dispenser automatically detects and sorts refill medication and checks the accuracy of dispensed medication doses. The intelligent medication dispenser further enables direct communication between the patient and other stakeholders in the medical care process.

Abstract: A method for updating prices for phrases may begin by receiving, at a computing device, a real-time data feed comprising a plurality of messages. The method may continue by detecting, by the computing device, a topic associated with a message in the plurality of messages using natural language processing. The topic may indicate the subject of the message. The method may continue by calculating, by the computing device, a score for the topic using temporal data associated with the message. The score may indicate the popularity of the topic. The method may continue by extracting, by the computing device, a keyword phrase from the topic. The method may conclude by determining, by the computing device, a price associated with the keyword phrase using the score.
