    摘要: Systems and methods for delayed function activation in a responsive environment are described. A responsive environment includes an intermediary system and notification manager to determine when a responsive environment will launch an application triggered by a sensed event. The environment includes sensor components and transparent software components that reside wholly within the environment for providing responsiveness. The environment also includes interactive software components that give users the means to provide input and/or experience output. Since changes to the interaction components may disrupt the user by requiring the user”s attention when it is not convenient, the system helps the user manage the responsive environment by using an application/function delay technique. The environment uses intelligence and notification mechanism to determine what might be useful and primes the apparatus to provide that functionality. However, the user actually initiates the execution of that function.

    摘要: Systems and methods for determining location by implication are described. A responsive environment includes a location determination method that operates in an area that is only partially instrumented with location-sensing devices. Some of the with location-sensing devices sense location ambiguously. For example, a location-sensing device may be deployed at a boundary between two target objects or areas of interest. The location of the target object, as reported by such devices, is considered ambiguous. While the object or person is known to be in a space, it is not clear which specific space. The location of ambiguously located objects can be disambiguated based on changes in the location of other objects. For example, if a document is placed on a shelf in an office, such action strongly implies that someone is in the office. Therefore, if a person is known to potentially be in the office or the outside hallway, the person”s location is changed to be in the office.

    摘要: Systems and methods for consistent deployment of sensors for both physical and virtual objects in a context aware environment for responsive environments are described. A method and apparatus that supports user interactions with both virtual and physical objects wherein any type of object can be explicitly instrumented with a sensor, either virtual or physical. User actions are sensed through these sensors and responses can be determined consistently, regardless of whether the object is physical or virtual.

    摘要: A method utilizing a computer to predict what volumes of mail will arrive at a given destination on a given date. The method is accomplished by: utilizing the composition of a mailing campaign that contains a plurality of mailing shipments that contain a plurality of containers containing a plurality of mail pieces; making a prediction curve for each container when the shipment is inducted at a carrier facility; and building a mailing campaign prediction based upon the container predictions; wherein each shipment prediction curve is added to the mailing campaign prediction at the date when the shipment is inducted at the carrier facility.

    摘要: A computer method that is used to predict when recipients of mail pieces will contact a call center in response to information contained in the mail pieces. The method involves, utilizing previous mailing campaign data to determine when the mail piece arrives in the home and when a call center is contacted in response to information in the mail piece; and predicting call volumes based initially on previous campaign data and as the mailing campaign progresses updating call center predictions based on current mailing campaign data.
