Filed:

Apr 2, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/824541

Inventors:

Subhra Bose - Manorville NY, US
Paul Stirpe - Shoreham NY, US

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/230000, 709/218000, 709/204000

Abstract:

A system for obtaining information is disclosed. The system comprises a server, a sender and a receiver and a communication means for the server to communicate with the sender and receiver. The receiver initiates a request message which is transmitted to the server. In the event the server is unable to immediately reply to the request with information for the receiver, the server retains the request in a pending state. The server retains the request in a pending state until a time when the server is able to respond to the request with information for the receiver and wherein at such time, the server allows for the completion of the receiver request with the information.

US Classification:

705/001000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system, method, and applications for providing personalized user experiences based on the use of a core ontology and inferencing over the ontology using rules provided by a domain expert. The population of users may be known to a commerce or information service from external and internal user data sources. Information (data) about this population is brought into a knowledge warehouse designed for on-line analytic processing, and potentially data marts. Data can be sourced from external databases in batch or streaming mode and enhanced with real-time click stream events from internal observed user interactions. A reference ontology is either loaded into the system or defined via a domain expert. The ontology forms the central reference point for data enrichment and precise personalization. Characteristic data is tagged in accordance with direct reference to the nodes of the ontology and may be enhanced via inferencing techniques. This results in enriched and more precise data tagging and equates to discovery of interest domains not directly observed in the initial source data. Definitions of communities can be embedded in the reference ontology thereby allowing the rapid assignment of individuals to collaborative filters or discovered via statistical means using the enriched attributes. Discovery can be fed back into the ontology to add extensions to the ontology. The same reference ontology is used to tag content, which results in a consistent tagging discipline for data and content centered on the reference ontology. Using inference techniques based on the ontology, content may be enriched to discover attributes not explicitly announced in the content descriptions. The enriched data may be mapped to the enriched content resulting in a deeply personalized user experience.

Abstract:

The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INCREMENTAL CONTAINER USER INTERFACE WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER (“WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER”) transforms user action request input via various WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER components into updated incremental container user interface output. In one embodiment, the WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER allows management of active/passive portfolios, integrates with trading desks/brokers, and guides portfolio managers through the trading workflow. Once the WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER receives an indication of a user's progress in a workflow, it determines a workflow sub-flow currently relevant to the user. The WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER also determines sequential actions sufficient to complete the current sub-flow, and relevant actions that are applicable to the current sub-flow that are not sequential actions. Based on this information, the WORKFLOW OPTIMIZER displays an incremental container user interface having a first part comprising user interface components in a sequential order corresponding to sequential actions, and a second part comprising user interface components corresponding to relevant actions.

Abstract:

A method of reconfiguring a multipoint communications channel to reconnect selected nodes after failures occur in the network disclosed. The method for this invention requires that a selected node (leader) participating in the multipoint communication channel act as the coordinator of the re-establishment protocol. The coordinator (leader) monitors the state of network topology to determine failures, recomputes an alternative feasible communication channel path in the case of failure, and generates messages to join new network elements in the multipoint communication channel. By using a novel tree recomputation method that rejoins the disconnected subtrees created by the network failure to the tree containing the coordinator, along with network topology information, the coordinator is able to minimize messaging and preserve the original channel to the maximum possible extent. The invention can be practiced in a network which provides quality-of-service characteristics to multipoint connections, by ensuring that the recomputation of the multipoint communication channel preserves the quality-of-service of the original connection.
