  • Patent number: 8909692
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system for progressively transmitting of knowledge between system nodes of a network structure comprises a plurality of system nodes and intelligent interfaces by which respective system nodes are coupled with each other for performing a communication. The intelligent interfaces transmit object features of cognition structure objects comprising knowledge, information and data depending on a respective question of a respective one system nodes progressively more faithful to detail from another of the respective system nodes to the one of the respective system nodes. Furthermore, there are disclosed a corresponding method and a computer program product relating to the system and method.

  • Patent number: 7467159
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating an application that analyzes image data, such as from satellite and microscope pictures. The method uses a graphical user interface to add a new processing object to a processing object network. The processing object network includes a parent processing object and a child processing object. A user can append a new processing object to the child processing object or can add the new processing object as a subprocess to the parent processing object. The user selects a data domain and an algorithm from selection lists on the graphical user interface and adds them to the new processing object. The application uses a semantic cognition network to process data objects that are generated by segmenting the image data. The application then uses the new processing object to identify portions of the image that are to be highlighted on the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 7146380
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for extracting information from input data comprising mapping of the input data into a data object network. The method uses a semantic cognition network comprised of the data object network, a class object network and a processing object network. The semantic cognition network uses a set of algorithms to process the semantic units. The semantic cognition network defines a processing object in the processing object network by selecting a data domain in the data object network, a class domain in the class object network and an algorithm from the set of algorithms. The processing object comprises the data domain, the class domain and the algorithm. The processing object is used in the processing object network to process the semantic units.
