Filed:

Feb 7, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/027926

Inventors:

Jeffrey Sherman Katz - West Hartford CT, US
Gerard Marmigere - Drap, FR
Frederic Bauchot - Saint-Jeannet, FR

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H02J 3/14

US Classification:

307 40, 307 35, 307 38

Abstract:

A system for scheduling electric power consumption cycles is provided. A consumption cycle is a time period of human scale, minutes or hours typically, rather than an electrical cycle. The system includes an electric-powered device driven by power supplied by an electric power network. The system also includes a consumption cycle data (CCD) requesting module communicatively linked to the electric-powered device. The link may use electric power lines via methods such as Broadband over Power Line, or may be wireless. The CCD requesting module is configured to generate a CCD request requesting allocation of electric power from the electric power network. Additionally, the system includes an electric power network node electrically connected to the electric-powered device from which electric power is conveyed to the electric-powered device. The system also includes a CCD responding module communicatively linked to the CCD requesting module. The CCD responding module is configured to determine whether the request for allocation of power can be granted subject to a predetermined capacity constraint.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 10, 705 14

Abstract:

A system and method for integrating analytics data of user profiles within a social network with targeted ad campaigns. The system includes an advertisement targeting system that obtains analytics data of user profiles and utilizes the data to filter through the user profiles to select desired user profiles for delivery of advertisements targeted to the interests and personality of the desired user profiles. Utilization of the analytics data includes generating a social rank of each user profile relevant to other user profiles in the social network. An advertising marketplace is implemented for use by ad marketers to purchase advertisement rights on a user profile webpage, to filter through user profiles in a social network for select user profiles with desired analytics data, and to generate advertisement campaigns targeted to the selected user profiles within a social network.

US Classification:

726 26, 709203, 705 14

Abstract:

The present invention includes a system and method for displaying information content, such as advertisements, during a computer-based application, for example, an online video game or any Internet-enabled application, and for collecting user impression metrics associated with the information content, even if the application is not connected to the Internet or an associated application server. The system and method include a campaign management system for receiving information content to be displayed during a computer-based application, including a pack manager application for creating an information content pack containing the information content in content sets, a content delivery network to distribute the information content pack, and a client software development kit that downloads the information content pack to display the information content during the computer-based application, and collects and sends user impression metrics associated with the information content back to the campaign management system for reporting.

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382103

Abstract:

An image of the object remains in the field of view of the camera, thereby generating a continuously changing image signal. The images are captured and digitized in a continual sequence S of discrete images of the scenes at a respective sequence T of points in time. During this capture sequence, a first plurality of reference signals are established corresponding to a plurality of respective captured images. In this manner, a plurality of reference images are generated on-line, during movement of the object or cameras. A second plurality of detected signals corresponding to a second plurality of captured images, are individually correlated with the respective next previous reference signal of the sequence, thereby establishing a relative position of the object or camera, for each detected signal. The absolute position of the camera or object, is determined by accumulating these relative positions.
