Filed:

May 29, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/870059

Inventors:

Alexander Y. Wong - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203, 709217, 709224, 345329, 345330

Abstract:

A method and apparatus providing network content distribution using a personal server approach is disclosed. A receiving client is provided with a personal server that can select, aggregate, and organize one or more channels of content in a virtual display space of the client. Selection, aggregation, and organization information is stored only locally. Raw data representing content is stored at a logically separate server across a network. Periodically the personal server requests updated content from the server and stores the content in a local channel database. The personal server synthesizes or generates one or more electronic documents containing the content, based on user-defined virtual space specifications and page organization information. The personal server then presents the electronic documents to a browser or other client element. Unlike past approaches that involve distributing fully formatted content to clients, the personal server can receive raw data, replace tokens in the raw data with other content, obtain embedded channel data, and render pages locally, using a conventional browser, without requiring use of a proprietary viewer, and without sending channel selections and other personal information across the network to an untrusted server.

Abstract:

Determining a genetic sequence for a particular site on an individual's genome is disclosed, including: receiving a measurement associated with a particular sequence for the particular site on the individual's genome, receiving contextual information associated with a context of the individual within a larger collection of genetic information, and using the measurement associated with the particular sequence and the contextual information to compute an improved determination of the genetic sequence at the particular site on the individual's genome.

US Classification:

702 19, 702 20, 703 11, 707700, 436501

Abstract:

Summarizing an aggregate contribution to a characteristic for an individual is disclosed, including determining the characteristic to be evaluated, identifying one or more markers associated with the characteristic, retrieving the measurement of the individual for each of the one or more markers from a database of individuals' markers, retrieving a statistical factor that measures the association between the marker associated with the characteristic and the characteristic for each of the one or more markers from the marker database, and determining the aggregate contribution based at least in part on the retrieved statistical factors.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707783, 707770, 707941

Abstract:

A system for separating identifying data from personal data is disclosed. The system includes: a first set of stored data comprising a plurality of identifying data structures containing identifying data; a second set of stored data comprising a plurality of personal data structures containing personal data; a set of mapping data comprising a plurality of mappings, wherein each mapping is between an identifying data structure and a personal data structure; and an application configured to receive mapping data associated with a mapping, determine a mapping associated with the mapping data, and obtain a personal data structure based on the mapping. The set of mapping data is logically separate from the first set of stored data, the second set of stored data, and the application.
