G06F 40/186
G06Q 10/06
H04L 29/08
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

A server automatically generates a response on behalf of a first user to a request received from a second user. The server receives configuration information for configuring automatic response generation for the first user, including information identifying the first user, information specifying a type of service provided by the first user including a plurality of parameters that define details for the service, and information providing an availability of the first user to provide the specified type of service. A request is received from the second user. The first user is selected from multiple users to respond to the request. A response is automatically generated using at least some of the received configuration information. The response is automatically transmitted to the second user on behalf of the first user.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06F 16/248
G06F 16/2457

Abstract:

A server automatically generates a response to a request received from a first user. Configuration information is received from second users. A request is received from the first user. A first stage of matching the parameters of the request to the second users is performed. If the number of matching users is below a threshold, the first stage of matching is performed again expanding or loosening the requirements of the request. A second stage of matching is performed that includes computing a score, and second user(s) are selected based in part on the computed score.

H04W 4/21

Abstract:

Presented are techniques of identifying, processing and displaying data point clusters associated with map information in an efficient manner Methods and systems are disclosed which process map information to identify clusters of requested data points for display, based on iterative clustering and filtering of the data points. Methods and systems are also disclosed which generate polygons representing the clusters. The amount of data to be processed and/or displayed can be reduced, without loss of any associated information content in a displayed map.
