摘要:
A voice command acquisition method and system for motor vehicles is improved in that noise source information is obtained directly from the vehicle system bus. Upon receiving an input signal with a voice command, the system bus is queried for one or more possible sources of a noise component in the input signal. In addition to vehicle-internal information (e.g., window status, fan blower speed, vehicle speed), the system may acquire external information (e.g., weather status) in order to better classify the noise component in the input signal. If the noise source is found to be a window, for example, the driver may be prompted to close the window. In addition, if the fan blower is at a high speed level, it may be slowed down automatically.

In a navigation system, e.g., for a motor vehicle, for determining the route from a location of the navigation system to a destination point, the navigation system includes an output device for outputting the route and/or a direction indication that corresponds to the route, and an input device for inputting the destination point, graphics or images of selectable destination points being representable for the input of a destination point.

A method and system for progressively reducing the power consumption of a serial memory device is provided, called the power control system. The power control system monitors the ports of a multi-port serial memory so that they can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis. When data is not being transmitted or received on a port, a series of steps are taken to progressively de-power portions of the port and cause the port to enter into a low-power state. By disabling certain ports and placing ports in a low-power state, the power consumption of the overall serial port memory is significantly reduced.

A system, according to one embodiment, includes a hybrid account provided by an issuer to a user, the hybrid account having a balance, the balance being either positive, zero, or negative; and a financial instrument including a hybrid card, the hybrid card providing access to the hybrid account, in which transactions using the hybrid card provide interchange income to the issuer, the issuer charges interest to the hybrid account when the balance is negative, and the issuer pays interest to the hybrid account when the balance is positive.

An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a product during promotional periods. The forecasting methodology employs a multivariable regression model to model the causal relationship between product demand and the attributes of past promotional activities. The model is utilized to calculate the promotional uplift from the coefficients of the regression equation. The methodology utilizes a mathematical formulation that transforms regression coefficients, a combination of additive and multiplicative coefficients, into a single promotional uplift coefficient that can be used directly in promotional demand forecasting calculations.

A partitioning system that provides a fast, simple and flexible method for partitioning a dataset. The process, executed within a computer system, retrieves product and sales data from a data store. Data items are selected and sorted by a data attribute of interest to a user and a distribution curve is determined for the selected data and data attribute. The total length of the distribution curve is calculated, and then the curve is divided into k equal pieces, where k is the number of the partitions. The selected data is thereafter partitioned into k groups corresponding to the curve divisions.
摘要:
An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a product. The forecasting methodology blends information about the future price of a product with historical sales data to better forecast the future product demand. This forecasting methodoloy takes into account three main parameters that may affect the future demand for a product: seasonality (using seasonal factors), recent sales trends (through average rate of sale analysis) and the product price (by estimating the price driven demand).
摘要:
An improved method for forecasting and modeling product demand for a slow moving product. The method includes the steps of maintaining a database of historical product demand information, calculating the average rate of sales (ARS) for a product from the historical demand information corresponding to the product, determining if the product is a slow moving product (SMP), and if the product is a SMP modifying the ARS using a mean reverting forecast method called GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity) to accurately model the expected demand and variability of the slow moving product.
