摘要:
A method of representing user tasks to be performed by one or more of a plurality of electronic devices in a task orchestration system. Each device includes therein a function description specifying a function that the device can perform. The function descriptions are obtained from one or more of the devices, task descriptions that describe device functionalities required for certain tasks are obtained, and task suggestion are generated based on the obtained device function descriptions and task descriptions. Each task suggestion represents a user task as an abstraction of on or more of the obtained device descriptions and task descriptions. The tasks suggestion are displayed on a display for the user to select from, wherein the user selected task suggestion is to be performed by orchestration (automation) of one or more of the devices based on task descriptions that use device functionalities described in the device function descriptions.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, web workers and local storages can be extended to a cloud-based environment. This allows web workers to be executed on any of a number of different cloud platforms located in a cloud, leveraging available resources to provide a quicker and more efficient processing environment for the various web workers. The present invention also provides these functionalities in a way that is transparent to not just the user, but also to the web page developer as well, eliminating the need for the web page developer to be aware of the cloud-based environment and design the web page for use therewith.

System and method for automatically rating the content of video media based on video operations performed on a media device and in reference to a plurality of rating rules are provided. Usage of the media device is continuously monitored and user actions with respect to operating the video media on the media device are automatically logged. Each rating rule includes a device usage pattern with respect to operating videos on the media device and a rating action indicating adjustments to content ratings of the videos based upon characteristics described by the device usage pattern that are inferred from the recorded user inputted video control operations. When the device usage pattern of a rating rule is inferred from one or more user actions operating a piece of video media directly on the media device, the content rating of the piece of video media is adjusted based on the rating rule.

An interest value indicative of the interest of a particular entity in one or more items can be determined based on a general interest value (e.g., a group interest/preference value) associated with a plurality of entities (e.g., persons, members of a group) that include that particular entity. The interest value can be determined based on Collaborative Filtering (CF) data and/or individual (or non-collaborative) data. In contrast to the Collaborative Filtering (CF) data which may include data associated with various entities, the individual (or non-collaborative) data typically pertains to one entity, namely, the entity whose interest is to be determined. It will be appreciated that both collaborative and non-collaborative data pertaining to individuals can be considered, thereby allowing for a better estimation of individual interests. The interest of a particular entity can be determined, for example, by considering the difference between a predicted CF interest value (determined based on CF data) and a group interest value and/or by considering the difference between a predicted individual interest value (determined based on non-collaborative data) and the group interest value.
摘要:
A method and system for facilitating access to content on an electronic device is provided. Facilitating access involves maintaining a temporal log of metadata for content accessed by one or more users, segregated based on time slots; searching the log to detect a pattern related to the metadata for one or more times slots; and constructing a temporal usage profile based on the pattern. The temporal usage profile may be used for recommending appropriate content to a user at an appropriate time.

A method of ranking a plurality pieces of media content is provided. Each of the plurality pieces of media content has at least one relationship with at least one of a plurality of users. Each of the plurality of users has at least one relationship with at least one of the plurality pieces of media content. Each of the plurality pieces of media content is associated with a weight, each of the plurality of users is associated with a weight, and each relationship is associated with a weight. For each of the plurality pieces of media content and each of the plurality of users, recursively calculating and updating the weight associated with the piece of media content or the user until a difference between the weights associated with the plurality pieces of media content and the plurality of users calculated during a current iteration and the weights associated with the plurality pieces of media content and the plurality of users calculated during a previous iteration is less than a predefined threshold. The weight associated with a piece of media content or a user is calculated based on the weights of the at least one relationship and the weights of the at least one piece of media content or the at least one user with which the piece of media content or the user has the at least one relationship. Ranking the plurality pieces of media content according to their respectively associated weights.

A method and system for extracting relevant information from content metadata is provided. User access to content is monitored. A set of extraction rules for information extraction is selected. Key information is extracted from metadata for the content based on the selected extraction rules. Additionally, a type for the content can be determined, and a set of extraction rules is selected based on the content type. The key information is used in queries for searching information of potential interest to the user, related to the content accessed.

A presentation system and method provides a GUI application that allows presenting Internet information on electronic devices such as consumer electronic devices with minimal user key presses/commands. The user is enabled to browse/search for Internet information without having to enter queries, using a small number of key presses. Further the user is enabled to obtain desired Internet information with no or minimal user involvement in query construction.
