  • Patent number: 10387173
    Abstract: Emotional state data is used to tailor the user experience of an interactive software system, by monitoring and obtaining data about a user's emotional state. Invoice data is further used, and organized in a particular manner for presentation to the user based on a predicted future emotional state of the user. Emotional state data is analyzed and used to dynamically modify the user's experience by selecting user experience components and invoice presentation characteristics based on the analysis of the user's emotional state data. Different types of user experience components can be utilized to adjust the user experience to adapt to the user's new emotional state, prevent the user from entering an undesirable emotional state, and/or encourage the user to enter into a desirable emotional state.

  • Patent number: 10169827
    Abstract: Current content data, user historical context data, and user feedback and emotional profile data is analyzed to predict emotional effect on the user of content to be provided to the user through an interactive software system. The resulting emotional effect data is then used to dynamically modify the form of the content delivery message and/or the user's experience by selecting one or more content delivery messages and/or user experience components based on the emotional effect data before, or as, the content is delivered to the user. In this way, different types of content delivery messages and/or user experience components can be utilized, and/or combined, to provide the user with an individualized user experience that is adapted to the predicted emotional effect on the user of the content being delivered, before, or as, that content is being delivered.

  • Patent number: 10144159
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an insulating bar made from a thermoplastic plastics material whereof the base body has a corrugated structure comprises shaping the insulating bar as a blank having a substantially planar structure of the base body without raised portions and recesses but with the connection strips, cooling the blank to a temperature corresponding to the maximum long-term service temperature of the plastics material or lower, heating the base body to a forming temperature which, for crystalline plastics materials, is approximately 30° C. below the crystallite melting point of the plastics material or higher, and for amorphous plastics materials, is approximately 30° C. above the softening point or higher, forming the base body by a tool to produce the alternating raised portions and recesses, while retaining the geometry of the connection strips, and cooling the insulating bar to a temperature corresponding to the maximum long-term service temperature or lower.

  • Patent number: 9048963
    Abstract: During a communication technique, an electronic device receives an audio signal from a remote electronic device, such as another electronic device that is proximate to the electronic device. This audio signal may include information that specifies an identifier. The electronic device may analyze the audio signal to extract the identifier, and may provide the identifier to a pre-defined location via a network, such as a web page on the Internet. In response to providing the identifier, the electronic device receives the operation from the pre-defined location via the network. For example, the operation may include an instruction to open a document (such as a web page) on the network.
