  • Publication number: 20130275466
    Abstract: A retrieval method and system are disclosed. The method involves: A). searching a catalogue table of retrieval keywords based on a retrieval keyword inputted by a user at a terminal, and acquiring a first data terms set including the inputted retrieval keyword; B). searching a data table of information index based on each data term of the first data terms set related to the inputted retrieval keyword, and acquiring a second data terms set; C). combining and sending the first data terms set to the terminal wherein the first data terms set is combined in a way of recursion, and sending the second data terms set to the terminal. The solution extracts semantics by formalizing retrieval character strings, and guides and returns retrieval information, thereby improving the deterministic, logic and efficiency of retrieval and user experience.

  • Patent number: 8447735
    Abstract: A backup program running on a computing device receives a search query. The backup program transmits the search query to a search program. The backup program receives search results corresponding to the search query from the search program. The search results include a list of data objects stored on a storage device and that satisfy the search query. The backup program backs up one or more selected data objects of the list of data objects. The backup program can periodically and automatically without user interaction retransmit the search query to the search program, and receive updated search results corresponding to the search query from the search program. The updated search results include an updated list of data objects stored on the storage device that satisfy the search query. The backup program can then back up the data objects within the updated list of data objects.

  • Patent number: 8135602
    Abstract: Techniques for delivering data for coordinating multiple party use of a facility include producing conditions data by measuring without human intervention current condition of a facility that is used by multiple human parties. Availability data that indicates present or future availability for the facility is generated based at least in part on the conditions data. Coordination data based at least in part on the availability data is presented for the parties. These techniques allow rapid dynamic adaptation to changing status of a high-value facility while being less reliant on varied and subjective human motivations for reporting status changes. Undue exposure of sensitive information can be avoided by deriving less detailed views from high-resolution images of the facility and its users. Coordination data can be projected directly onto, and manual input can be derived from, a magnetic white board currently used for coordination at many facilities.

  • Publication number: 20110179361
    Abstract: Techniques for presenting patient data at the patient's bedside include receiving predetermined presentation style data that indicates a subset of fewer than all parameters available from an electronic medical records (EMR) system and a first arrangement on a display device of related parameters in the subset. Without human intervention, the most recent values from the EMR system are received. The most recent values are associated in the EMR system with the particular patient for corresponding parameters of the subset. A first most recent value is presented according to the first arrangement at the particular bedside display device without human intervention. In some embodiments, the most recent values are also received or presented in response to a single stroke from a human user at an input for the particular display device.

  • Patent number: 7725638
    Abstract: An application processor circuit has SD-compatible interface protocols and can perform both host and slave functions. The circuit includes SD bus interface logic for realizing SD interface signals defined in SD-compatible interface protocols; system bus interface logic for performing the interface function on the system bus side; a data buffer for adjusting the data transfer rate difference between the SD bus interface and the system bus interface; a data buffer controller for controlling access to the data buffer; and a configuration unit for configuring the circuit to work in the host mode or slave mode. The SD-compatible interface protocols include MMC/SD/SDIO protocol, high speed MMC/SD/SDIO protocol, and CE-ATA interface protocol. The SD host logic and slave logic are incorporated in a single module to support both the SD host and slave functions, so as to achieve more convenient data transfer between electronic devices.
