摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus, method, and computer program product for controlling a recommender system, wherein user actions on content items are associated to explicit ratings on these content items and translated into a UI features profile, which is subsequently used by a recommender. This recommender rates new items based on user actions on this item and thus creates an implicitly learned rating history. This learning makes the implicit rating or scoring personalized. It can be combined in several ways with an explicitly learned rating history to improve overall performance and/or to mitigate the burden for the user, by having him/her rate less items explicitly.

In a shared medium communication system, a common measure for avoiding collisions of application data is a request grant mechanism. Secondary stations contending for upstream bandwidth send requests on a shared medium, wherein each request is answered by a grant from the primary station. The efficiency of such a system may be improved if at least two access requests are merged into a multi request.

A recommender engine (107—1, 107—2, 107—3) recommends further content items for playout on a personalized content channel on the basis of a profile (109—1, 109—2, 109—3) associated with that personalized content channel. The profile (109—1, 109—2, 109—3) includes an indication of the user's “like” and “dislike” of content items played out on said personalized channel.

A communication network comprises a head-end and a plurality of network terminations coupled thereto through a shared communication channel, which is accessed by a protocol having one or more dedicated slots wherein upstream data cells are contained, which may collide in a transmission wherein two or more network terminations try to access the shared communication channel practically simultaneously. Herein the protocol is arranged such that the one or more dedicated slots precede the moment whereon the first next downstream transmission is started to be prepared by the head-end. In that case actual information in the dedicated slots can be fed back without substantial delay to the network terminations in order to provide them by return with actual contention information.
摘要:
Method and system (100) for generating a recommendation for at least one further content item is disclosed. A personalized content channel is enabled to play out a plurality of content items (programs) complying with multiple selection criteria. At least one further content item is recommended by a recommender engine (107), the at least one further content item complying with fewer of the multiple criteria. In an embodiment, at least one of the at least one recommended further content item is selected and the multiple selection criteria are adjusted by a scheduler (109) on the basis of at least one characteristic of the selected recommended further content item.

The present invention relates to a an active pillow system and a method for manipulating a person's resting conditions, wherein the actual resting conditions of the person are determined by a sensor unit, an actigraph, a temperature sensor and/or a humidity sensor for instance, and wherein an acoustic synthetic jet cooling mechanism, is triggered by the determined actual resting conditions for manipulating the person's resting conditions.

A method and arrangement for modifying settings of a television program recommender (200) displays the rating (recommended or not recommended) for a selected television program, and also displays profile parameters of the user in a bar graph-type display in which the value of the profile parameters in each of a plurality of categories are shown as the positions of profile parameter icons (302-308), while the television program recommender further shows icons (312-318) representing threshold levels in each category above which the selected television program would be recommended. The user is enabled to change the values of the profile parameters in at least one of the categories by moving the relevant profile parameter icon (302-308) such that, for example, it reaches, or passes, the respective threshold level icon (312-318). The television program recommender (200) then recalculates the rating and the threshold levels to correspond with the desires of the user. As such, the user is able to modify the profile parameters of the television program recommender (200) such that it recommends, or does not recommend, programs in accordance with the desires of the user.
摘要:
A method and arrangement for modifying settings of a television program recommender displays the rating (recommended or not recommended) for a selected television program, and also displays icons for selection by the user to indicate whether the user agrees or disagrees with the recommendation. The television program recommender then updates its settings based on the user's icon selection. In addition, if the user indicates that he/she disagrees with the recommendation, the television program recommender determines and displays the number of times that the user needs to indicate his/her desires with respect to the selected television program in order for the recommendation to agree with the user's desires.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for modifying a representation based upon a user instruction and a system for producing a modified representation by said method. Conventional drawing systems, such as pen and paper and writing tablets, require a reasonable degree of drawing skill which not all users possess. Additionally, these conventional systems produce static drawings. The method of the invention comprises receiving a representation from a first user, associating the representation with an input object classification, receiving an instruction from a second user, associating the instruction with an animation classification, determining a modification of the representation using the input object classification and the animation classification, and modifying the representation using the modification. When the first user provides a representation of something, for example a character in a story, it is identified to a certain degree by associating it with an object classification. In other words, the best possible match is determined. As the second user imagines a story involving the representation, dynamic elements of the story are exhibited in one or more communication forms such as writing, speech, gestures, facial expressions. By deriving an instruction from these signals, the representation may be modified, or animated, to illustrate the dynamic element in the story. This improves the feedback to the users, and increases the enjoyment of the users.
