  • Patent number: 8909685
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for pattern recognition of a distribution function are described herein. An influenced distribution function corresponding to an influenced attribute is compared with other distribution functions corresponding to other attributes. Based on the comparison, a correlation is determined between the influenced distribution function and an influencing distribution function from the other distribution functions. Based on the determination, a raw distribution function corresponding to an influenced attribute is extracted using the influenced distribution function and the influencing distribution function. The extracted raw distribution function and the influencing distribution function may be classified.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8261185
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for constructing linear representations of content based networks. The methods comprise receiving a sub-network of a content based network comprising a plurality of fragments connected by one or more links, calculating fragment weight for at least some of the plurality of fragments, calculating link weight for at least one of the one or more links, creating a hierarchical structure from the sub-network, based on at least some of the calculated fragment weights and at least some of the calculated link weights, and converting the hierarchical structure to a linear representation. The linear representation may be augmented by additional overview information such as table of contents and index, which may be automatically generated.

  • Patent number: 7827502
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for accessing data objects from a storage medium includes rendering a combination of graphical structures. Each graphical structure depicts a storage hierarchy or logic, and can include a link or reference to stored data objects. The combination of graphical structures defines a number of graphical objects. Each graphical object is associated with a coordinate display and linking mechanism to access one or more data objects represented by the graphical object. Thus, a number of collections of data objects is represented graphically for quick access.

  • Publication number: 20060224998
    Abstract: An information access system and method are disclosed. A system includes a user input device and a graphical user interface responsive to commands from the user input device. A plurality of graphical structures are displayed in the graphical user interface. Each graphical structure is defined by three or more spatial dimensions, the intersection of which defines a segment. Each segment represents a defined group of information associated with the intersection of dimensions. Each group can be created manually, or defined algorithmically. The system further includes one or more controls displayed in the graphical user interface, responsive to the commands generated from the user input device, and configured for graphically manipulating selected segments of the one or more graphical structures.
