  • Patent number: 9009785
    Abstract: A system for managing adaptive security zones in complex business operations, comprising a rules engine adapted to receive events from a plurality of event sources and a security manager coupled to the rules engine via a data network, wherein upon receiving an event, the rules engine determines what rules, if any, are triggered by the event and, upon triggering a rule, the rules engine determines if the rule pertains to security and, if so, sends a notification message to the security manager informing it of the triggered event, and wherein the security manager, on receiving a notification message from the rules engine, automatically establishes a new security zone based at least in part on the contents of the notification message, is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140036022
    Abstract: Providing a conversational video experience is disclosed. In various embodiments, a user response data provided by a user in response to a first video segment at least a portion of which has been rendered to the user is received. The user response data is processed to generate a text-based representation of a user response indicated by the user response data. A response concept with which the user response is associated is determined based at least in part on the text-based representation. A next video segment to be rendered to the user is selected based at least in part on the response concept.

  • Publication number: 20140028780
    Abstract: Producing a conversational video experience is disclosed. In various embodiments, a definition data associated with a first conversation node associated with the conversational video experience is received via a user interface. A response concept associated with the first conversation node is determined based at least in part on the received definition data. A relationship between the first conversation node and a second conversation node associated with the conversational video experience is determined based at least in part on the determined response concept. An association data that represents the relationship is generated and stored.
