  • Patent number: 9940661
    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for recommending a food item are disclosed. For example, the method receives one or more food item data communications over a short range communications protocol that are pushed to a mobile endpoint device, filters the one or more food item data communications in accordance with a food item filter pre-defined by a user to identify an acceptable food item to recommend to the user and recommends the acceptable food item to the user.

  • Patent number: 9515836
    Abstract: In implementations, a computer-implemented method for location assurance is disclosed. The method can include receiving, by an application executing on a mobile computing device, an electronic token from a server, wherein the electronic token comprises a timestamp signed using a cryptographic signing algorithm; providing, by the application, the electronic token to a passive computational tag, wherein the electronic token is countersigned by the passive computational tag; receiving, by the application, the electronic token that was countersigned by the passive computational tag; and providing, by the application, the electronic token that was countersigned to the server.

  • Patent number: 9507642
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for method and systems for sub-allocating computational resources. A first computing device receives information associated with a first set of computational resources from a cloud infrastructure. The first set of computational resources has been allocated to the first computing device by the cloud infrastructure. A first set of parameters associated with a workflow received by the first computing device is determined. The first set of parameters is indicative of a need of the first set of computational resources by the first computing device. One or more computational resources from the first set of computational resources are sub-allocated based on the determined first set of parameters.

  • Publication number: 20160224762
    Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for promoting medication adherence are disclosed. For example, the method determines a barrier to an adherence to a prescribed medication for a patient, determines a reason for changing a behavior of the patient to bring about the adherence to the prescribed medication, receives a patient identified goal for implementing the changing of the behavior of the patient, and monitors whether the patient identified goal is met.

  • Patent number: 8661331
    Abstract: Meeting documents are provided to N meeting participants of a meeting. Each meeting document comprises a human-readable content marking related to the subject of the meeting and a storage address marking. At the meeting, the meeting participants supply comment markings to the meeting documents, thus forming commented meeting documents. The commented meeting documents are then scanned to form commented meeting document images. The commented meeting document images are then stored in a repository based on the storage address marking. One or more users are then provided with visual access to the commented meeting documents images, thus enabling the one or more users to view the comment markings that are supplied by the meeting participants.

  • Patent number: 8411304
    Abstract: A method and system for enabling automatic service sharing and custom user interface features in a fleet of multi-function devices. EIP (Extensible Interface Platform) services can be registered via a peer-to-peer discovery subsystem associated with a multi-function device grid infrastructure. EIP service registration information can be submitted and stored in the grid infrastructure. The multi-function devices can be equipped with an enterprise EIP client, which can query the discovery subsystem and apply a corporate policy. The discovery subsystem detects the optimal instance of the service based on loading and availability factors and then returns a reference with respect to the services that allows access to enhanced services. Such an approach enables a fleet of multi-function devices to dynamically discover EIP services and auto populate service options to provide increased capability, reduced complexity, and improved speed.

  • Patent number: 7685513
    Abstract: A method receives a request at a server from a browser for at least one markup language page. The method can then determine which CSS classes are used with the requested markup language page using a usage map. Then, the method loads the markup language page and loads only the CSS classes that are used with the markup language page to the browser.

  • Patent number: 7567364
    Abstract: A system generates an electronic image of a document for later retrieval through a network connection. The system uses a network accessible scanning device to enable scanning of a document to generate an electronic image thereof and an electronic repository to electronically store the electronic image. The electronic repository designates an electronic address for the stored electronic image and communicates the electronic address to the network accessible scanning device. The network accessible scanning device provides information to a user scanning the document. The information relates to the electronic repository designated address.

  • Patent number: 5946458
    Abstract: A printing system disposed in a local or wide area network in which one of a plurality of queries is transmitted from a client to a server for obtaining a set of information including both a file with static information and a subset of dynamic information is provided. The subset of dynamic information varies as a function of one or more print related characteristics of a document processing system with which the server communicates. The printing system includes a parsing subsystem, communicating with the client for receiving the one of the plurality of queries, the parsing subsystem facilitating the obtaining of the set of information by copying a portion of the file, in response to reading a first instruction, and communicating the copied portion at the server for storage thereat.
