摘要:
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.

A method of creating hyperlinks from an electronic document and for accessing printed hyperlinks is described. A document 12 including URLs is printed as printed document 24. Image information 28 from the hyperlink location 26 is extracted and saved together with URL information 18 in database 30. To access the hyperlink, a reader captures an image of the hyperlink information and uses this to query database 30 which returns hyperlink information 18.
摘要:
An unconnected power save method reduces the battery consumption of a wireless station in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless station enters a sleep mode between scans for a prospective access point. The sleep duration time is determined using the current position of the station relative to the WLAN network topology.

A system and method are provided for improving the throughput of wireless networks, such as IEEE 802.11 networks. Individual devices in the network determine the level of activity on the network. In the event that the network is active, the devices increase throughput by skipping the pending packet transmission and appending its data payload to a future packet transmission. By encoding multiple payloads in a single packet transmission, packet overhead is reduced and MAC layer delays are eliminated. The data payloads are subsequently split back into individual packets for transmission over the wired portion of the network.

Presented is a method of displaying a web page advertisement on a computing device. A web page advertisement is segregated from content on the web page during a web browsing session. The web page advertisement is then cached on the computing device for display at a time later to the web browsing session.
摘要:
Systems and methods for task assignment in crowdsourcing are described. In one implementation, a method comprises receiving task information from a requester, the task information comprising at least details of a task, an accuracy level for task completion, and a budget for the task. The method further comprises computing expected costs of completing the task to achieve the accuracy level within the budget based on the task information, and recommending an assignment of the task to agents based on the computation.
摘要:
Provided is a method of preventing an unauthorized publication of a media object. On receipt of a user request to prevent an unauthorized publication of a media object, a video link is established with the user. An image of the user is received from the video link and a determination is made whether the image of the user correspond with an image in the media object. Based on said determination an action is performed with regard to the unauthorized publication of the media object.

Determining the reasons for packet loss in a wireless local area network; such as an IEEE 802.11 network. The method uses the strength of received signals at a wireless station, such as the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), noise levels (e.g, non-802.11 energy in the 2.4 GHz frequency range), and packet loss information together to determine the network status. In most implementations, the 802.11 implementation (e.g., the 802.11 driver) is responsible for maintaining statistics on the RSSI and the noise whereas the measure of the packet loss is the responsibility of the application. The network status is determined by the endpoint station independent from the access point
