Abstract:
A method of searching for information on a computer information network comprises providing a searchbase comprising a plurality of descriptive packets, wherein each packet is associated with one of a plurality of information sources published on a computer information network and includes a query language and template usable therewith, a sending protocol usable therewith and a receiving protocol usable therewith. A search request is received over the computer information network from a user for retrieving information from the plurality of information sources in accordance with given search criteria. The search request is transformed into an inquiry capable of searching the searchbase and the searchbase is searched with the inquiry to identify any of the plurality of information sources which potentially meet the given search criteria. The search request is transformed into queries for the identified information sources, wherein each query is in accordance with the query language and query template in the descriptive packet for the corresponding information source and the queries are sent over the computer information network to the identified information sources in accordance with the sending protocol in the descriptive packet for the corresponding information source. Information is received over the computer information network from the identified information sources in response to the queries in accordance with the receiving protocol in the descriptive packet for the corresponding information source.

International Classification:
G10L011/04
US Classification:
704207000
Abstract:
A computerized method of analyzing a discourse engaged in by a plurality of interacting agents includes measuring a first set of prosodic features associated with the discourse and, at least partially based on the first set of measured prosodic features, determining a target set of prosodic features that are likelier to be associated with a target state and/or characteristic of the discourse than the first set of prosodic features. The method optionally includes providing the agents with feedback aimed at steering the discourse toward a desirable outcome. Optionally, the method includes imposing a constraint on a subset of the agents to force a behavioral modification upon the subset of the agents to increase the likelihood of the desirable outcome.

US Classification:
379114010
Abstract:
A billing and payment method and system for networks incorporating long latency in their systems architectures is provided. As a result of this method and system, it is possible for customers and users to experience virtual real-time access to a network incorporating long latency in its systems architecture and for the network operator to incorporate operating procedures and controls and customer payment procedures and financial controls customarily available in real-time environments. In particular, the present invention is advantageous where reconciliation of accounts and verification of account balances cannot be done in short amounts of time due to high latency of the transmissions. Also, pre-paid and/or post-paid debit and/or credit cards can be used for purchases of goods and services in an environment whereby real-time verification of balances would not otherwise be possible. Examples of networks incorporating long latency in their systems architectures are those which rely on store-and-forward methods to physically deliver voicemail, email, internet access and other data.

US Classification:
705014000
Abstract:
A computer application is used for the serving and creation of user-annotated web pages, which may include associated advertisements, to client devices. The user is able to submit comments to one or more web servers wherein the web server or servers appends the submitted comment or comments and updates them for use and display on one or more web pages at one or more client devices. The comments are also distributed for viewing or listening, potential annotation, and update by other users viewing the same or related annotations across multiple websites. Annotated advertisements are an embodiment of the invention.
The invention is directed to a method of treating movement disorders by the modulation of neuronal transmission using time-variant non-conservative magnetic fields. The invention is also directed to a method for treating dystonias.

Abstract:
A system and method for matching first and second mobile communications devices are provided. Preference or profile information associated with the first and second mobile communications devices is transmitted to a central server for matching the first and second devices. Location information and transmission statuses of the first and second mobile communications device are also transmitted to the central server. Data related to the location of either device is transmitted to the other device depending upon the matched statuses of the mobile communications devices and the location and transmission status information associated with the mobile communications devices.
