Patent number: 10417270Abstract: In a system for extracting policy information from text, a processor analyzes if the text is relevant to a top-level category, and then determines if at least a portion of the text is relevant to categories and subcategories within a taxonomy of categories and subcategories related to the top-level category. If at least a portion of the text is determined to be relevant to the category/subcategory, a classifier extracts policy information associated with the category/subcategory. Using text that includes a known policy the classifiers can be trained to correctly recognize categories/subcategories, and the values associated therewith.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Avast Software s.r.o.Inventors: Shaul Levi, Valery Kholodkov, Yuval Ben-Itzhak

Patent number: 9813873Abstract: A mobile device tracking prevention method and system includes monitoring a mobile device for movement, determining whether an operating state of a wireless module of the mobile device should be adjusted when movement of the mobile device is detected, and controlling the operating state of the wireless module based on the determination. One or more of the actual geographic location of the mobile device, network IDs broadcasted by nearby network access points, and signal strengths of the access points as detected by the mobile device can be monitored to detect movement of the mobile device. Changes to any of these may be indicative of movement of the mobile device, which may serve as the basis for enabling or disabling the wireless module to prevent tracking of the mobile device without sacrificing user productivity.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Avast Software B.V.Inventors: Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Shaul Levi, Pavel Mironchyk

Publication number: 20170250930Abstract: An interactive communication-based personalized content recommendation provisioning method and system are described. A user interacting with an interactive communication platform (e.g., a messaging application, an Internet of Things device, a Virtual Reality device, an Augmented Reality device, a webpage, a website etc.) may engage in an interactive conversation (e.g., a text-based exchange, a voice-based exchange, a video-based exchange, a gesture-based exchange etc.) with a conversation agent of a personalized content recommendation communication system. The user may interact with the conversation agent via a conversational exchange of messages to receive one or more content recommendations that are tailored to or “personalized” for that user. The personalized content recommendations may be provided by the conversation agent via a message as part of the conversation with the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventor: Yuval Ben-Itzhak

Patent number: 9697009Abstract: In a method for improving the performance of a computer system by releasing computer resources, a list P of programs installed on a computer system is determined. All relevant extension points EP of the computer system are searched for registered entries. A list A of automatically starting programs is generated by assigning the registered entries at the relevant extension points EP to the installed programs, respectively. The list A of the automatically starting programs is compared with a list S of system-required programs and a list V of used programs. Programs that are not system-required and programs that have not been used for a longer period of time are deactivated and computer resources that have been used by the deactivated programs are released. The deactivation of programs can be done by the user or automatically and can be cancelled when necessary.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: AVG Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Yuval Ben-Itzhak, Tibor Schiemann
