Abstract:
Presented is a method and system for printing an advertisement with a document. The method includes receiving a print request for a document from a user, converting the requested document into a vector graphics format document, selecting at least one advertisement for inclusion into the vector graphics format document, recording the vector graphics format document into a print driver queue enabled to print advertisements, inserting at least one advertisement into the vector graphics format document and printing the advertisement with the vector graphics format document.

Abstract:
System and method for adaptive content summarization is disclosed. In one embodiment, a summary size of content is computed based on a usability cost function and an information loss function. Further, a summary of the content is extracted based on the summary size. Furthermore, the extracted summary is displayed on a display device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and computer program product of determining the relevance of at least a part of an electronic document comprising a plurality of terms distributed over a plurality of regions of said document, comprising displaying the electronic document to a user; determining the gaze characteristics of the person on a region of the electronic document; assigning a relevance score to an individual term in said region based on said characteristics; and generating a term relevance label for said electronic document, said term relevance label comprising relevance scores for the respective individual terms in said document The relevance scores may also be used to define a user profile for the user that can aid in retrieving future documents of relevance to the user.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for measuring interest levels of audience in a broadcast program and providing extra information based on the interest level. The methods include receiving an AV signal of a broadcast program and supplementary content which contains broadcast program related information and a tag identifying the broadcast program. The supplementary content is combined with the AV signal to form a data-augmented signal which is subsequently modulated with a carrier signal to form a transmit signal for broadcasting to receivers. Each receiver includes a decoder for extracting the supplementary content and means for computing interest levels and providing extra information based on the interest levels.
Abstract:
A method of distributing load amongst two or more computer system resources. The method includes distributing load to the system resources in accordance with their modeled response times and a predetermined Service level Agreement (SLA) associated with each system resource. By modeling the response time of each resource, load can be distributed with a view to maintaining response times within a predetermined Service level Agreement (SLA). The response time may be modeled by analytical modeling, which uses a queuing network model for predicting the response time, typically along with other parameters such as, utilization, throughput and queue length.
