Appl. No.:

12/642757

Inventors:

Stephen Blumenthal - Newfield NY, US
Ilya Sorokin - New York NY, US

Assignee:

3D FUSION INC. - New York NY

International Classification:

G06T 15/00

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing 3D content-centric solutions that greatly improve the quality and impact of 3D media content, while decreasing the required levels of computing power, and lowering the complexity of the necessary 3D media playback and display solutions, thus maximizing the 3D experience produced therefrom. The novel system and method accomplish these goals by providing modular unifying scalable 3D content-centered solutions, preferably implemented in a configurable infrastructure, that improve the quality and impact of any 3D media content, while decreasing the required levels of computing power, and lowering the complexity of the necessary playback and display solutions. The inventive system and method advantageously enable automatic, semi-automatic or user-controlled selective performance of 3D content processing and/or settings/parameter configuration at one or more components of the infrastructure (from 3D content capture to 3D content media display), and in at least one embodiment thereof, the inventive system and method are capable of determining and implementing selective or optimal storage, transmittal, and application(s) of 3D content processing/settings/parameter/profile configuration(s) prior to, or during, display of corresponding 3D content media to one or more viewers thereof.

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a system and method for enabling multiple parties to access and utilize, separately, in parallel, and/or on a collaborative basis, a plurality of distributed modular 3D content-centric solutions that are operable to greatly improve the quality and impact of 3D media content, while decreasing the required levels of computing power, and lowering the complexity of the necessary 3D media playback and display solutions, thus maximizing the 3D experience produced therefrom. The inventive system and method facilitate and enable multiple parties to work individually or to collaborate, in a scalable and managed manner and at varying degrees, in customizable modular processes of generating, converting into, and/or beneficially processing 3D media content to produce enhanced 3D media content, and thereby greatly improving and maximizing the 3D experience produced therefrom. In various embodiments of the inventive system and method, a centralized system is provided for managing and selectively controlling access to, and utilization of, the plurality of the modular 3D content-centric solutions by a plurality of pre-registered users, and to manage 3D content-related projects by distributing individual tasks, along with appropriate access to necessary 3D content-centric solution module(s), to at least one of the plural pre-registered users. In other embodiments of the present invention, a centralized 3D content generation/conversion/processing (G/C/P) system is provided for managing 3D content-related G/C/P projects and for distributing various tasks for such projects for performance by at least one of the plural pre-registered users by enabling access thereof to necessary 3D content-centric solution module(s).

Abstract:

An informatics platform comprising method, system, and computer program is provided for interacting with clinical decision support systems such as the IBM Watson for Oncology, for the purpose of utilizing cognitive processing, machine learning and natural language processing to facilitate the manual to semi-automatic to automatic acquisition of a patient's electronic medical record data points, into a CDS system for populating the attributes questionnaire, for generating a patient diagnostic report of treatment recommendations. The platform supports deployment on several informatics architectures including client-server, cloud-based and blockchain.In a typical embodiment, the system is deployed as a Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) application; it implements a cloud-based, real-time architecture comprising: (a) an adaptive user interface providing responsive dashboards for real-time data presentation and user interaction, (b) a hub controller for real-time data flow transformation, (c) a data validation engine which incorporates cognitive natural language processing (NLP) to extract structured and unstructured patient record data from the EHR and employs methods that provide an optimally automated input to the CDS, (d) cloud storage of aggregated CDS data and other clinical datasets, and (e) plug-in support for additional cognitive capabilities such as predictive analytics and data mining.
