US Classification:

37920201

Abstract:

A method and system for remotely accessing a multi-point cross-platform telephone conferencing system for the purpose of coordinating and initiating multi-point telephone conference meetings utilizing intelligent agents and network based software application modules (i. e. , contact lists, email, calendars, etc. ) to facilitate the setup and initiation of telephone conference calls from locations remote to the cross-platform teleconferencing system. A coordinator, with the assistance of software agents resident on a coordinating server device and menu screens resident on the networked terminal device selects subscribers for inclusion in the telephone conference (with or without information modification), inputs attribute data and contact information for non-subscribers to be included in the telephone conference and inputs descriptive information including an identifier, proposed times and duration for the proposed telephone conference. The software agents analyze the conference information, the subscriber and non-subscriber attribute data (which may include information relating to the various terminal devices associated with particular subscribers/non-subscribers) and the available schedule information and generates/forwards appropriately formatted invitations to those invited. Subscriber/non-subscriber responses to the invitations are forwarded to the coordinating server device and the coordinating server.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G09B 7/07
G09B 7/02

Abstract:

A method for automatically analyzing the text of a document to generate verification questions to be administered to a user as a quiz for the purpose of verifying whether the user has read the document. Syntactic analysis is applied to statements (e.g. sentences) in the text to automatically generate various types of verification questions, including fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and multiple-choice questions. Nouns and proper nouns in a statement may be used to generate fill-in-the-blank questions; numerical values may be used to generate fill-in-the-blank, true/false and multiple-choice questions; and verbs, adjectives and adverbs may be used to generate true/false questions. The questions may be generated dynamically for each user, or generated once, stored and used for multiple users.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707755

Abstract:

A method for automatic keyword tracking and rights association of digital document files, including the steps of: a computer server receiving an upload of a digital document file: the computer server applying a keyword tracking algorithm to the texts of the uploaded digital document file to gather content information of the uploaded digital document file by parsing each word in the document and keeping track of the number of occurrences of a set of keywords, and comparing the content information of the uploaded digital document file with content information of digital document files that have known rights-association, wherein a pre-defined list of words are excluded from the set of keywords; and the computer server determining whether one or more matching results from the digital document files with known rights-association exist, and if not, notifying the user, but if yes, presenting the one or more matching results to the user.
