Abstract:
A system and method for attribute extraction within a call handling system is disclosed. The method discloses: initiating a dialog between a contact and a call handling system; waiting for a first length of the dialog; assigning the contact to a first attribute category by processing the first length of the dialog using a first instance of a first classifier; waiting for a second length of the dialog; and assigning the contact to a second attribute category by processing the second length of the dialog using a first instance of a second classifier trained to categorize dialogs assigned only to the first attribute category. The system discloses means and mediums for practicing the method.
Abstract:
A system and method for prioritizing contacts is disclosed. The method discloses: receiving a set of requests from a set of contacts to be connected to a recipient; generating a first priority level score for each request based on an acoustical analysis of a contact speech signal within the request; generating a second priority level score for each request based on a keyword analysis of the request; combining the priority level scores for each request into a combined priority level score; prioritizing the requests within the set of requests based on their respective combined priority level scores; and routing to the recipient that request, from the set of requests, having a highest combined priority level score. The system of the present invention includes all means and mediums for implementing the method.
Abstract:
A navigation routing system comprises a navigation guide adapted to receive a travel itinerary from a requesting device. The travel itinerary comprises at least two route segments. The navigation guide is also adapted to automatically determine a time-optimized route segment sequence for the travel itinerary.
Abstract:
A method for making an authenticating system for an object includes selecting an image and adding a watermark in a predetermined area of the image. The predetermined area may be a portion of the image. The method also includes establishing the image having the watermark therein on the object, and associating the watermark with the object to render object-specific authenticating data.
Abstract:
A method for dynamic control of medications provided to a patient at a remote location is disclosed. The method can include steps of selecting a customized set of medications for a patient, where the customized set of medications at least partially reflect a medical diagnosis of the patient, and providing the customized set of medications to the patient, where the customized set of medications are inaccessible to the patient without authorization from a medical care provider. Further steps of the method can include authorizing the patient to receive a first medication regimen from the customized set of medications, monitoring remotely at least one health parameter of the patient, and authorizing the first medication regimen to be modified to a second medication regimen based at least partially on the at least one health parameter.
Abstract:
A method of obtaining a filtered electrocardiogram is provided. The method includes the steps of obtaining a vectorcardiogram, filtering the vectorcardiogram to form a filtered vectorcardiogram, and transforming the filtered vectorcardiogram into a filtered electrocardiogram. The method may also include the preliminary step of obtaining an electrocardiogram, and then transforming the electrocardiogram into the vectorcardiogram.
Abstract:
A method of classifying a document includes providing a plurality of classifier engines and classifying the document using output from one or more of the classifier engines based on a comparison of one or more metrics for each classifier engine. In another embodiment, a method of classifying a document comprises providing a plurality of classifier engines and determining one or more metrics for each classifier engine. These metrics are used to determine how to use the classifier engines to classify the document, and the document is classified accordingly. A further embodiment includes a document classifier utilizing a plurality of classifier engines. In yet another embodiment, a computer-readable medium contains instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method of using a plurality of classifier engines to classify a document.
Abstract:
Implementations of the present invention provide an authentication method for tagged items. The first portion of the authentication method includes determining an identifier associated with a tag for each of one or more items in a container and hashing the identifiers from the one or more items in the container creating a digest. The second portion of the authentication method is performed after the items are shipped or transferred. This second portion of the authentication method includes determining an identifier associated with a tag for each of the one or more items in a container, hashing the identifiers from the one or more items in the container to create a verification digest, determining if the verification digest matches a digest of the identifiers previously hashed and indicating that the contents of the container may have changed in response to the match determination.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer readable medium are provided for index extraction. Stored in a database are ground truth documents that are organized according to a plurality of classifications, each classification having a group of predefined indices. A document to be indexed is classified by drawing an association between the document and one of the classifications. An attempt is made to extract from the document at least a subset of the group of predefined indices associated with the one of the classifications. Upon a failure to extract the subset of the group of predefined indices, attempts are made to find and correct at least one text recognition error in the document based upon a salient dictionary associated with the one of the classifications.
Abstract:
A method of applying content and a data encoding pattern 18 to a product 10 comprises: applying the content 14 to a substrate 12; modifying the reflectivity of the content 14 at a predetermined wavelength; and applying the pattern 18 to the product, wherein the method is such that the pattern can be distinguished from the content at the predetermined wavelength.
