Abstract:
A method for improving distribution of resources for a reasoning system including a plurality of data sources that each generate raw data that is to be processed by shallow reasoners before being provided to other components of the reasoning system to generate high-level inferred conclusions, the method including the steps of discovering available data sources from the plurality of data sources by discovery of protocol modules executed by devices associated with each data source; collecting capability information from each protocol module for each associated device; sending the capability information to a predictor server; requesting a resource allocation plan from the predictor server; and receiving the resource allocations plan from the predictor server, the resource allocation plane identifying devices associated with the plurality of data sources for executing shallow reasoners, the devices selected based on a usage model and the capability information.
Abstract:
A method executed by a computer system for generating a high level inferred conclusion from raw data collected from a plurality of data sources by application of an ontology reasoning system, the method comprising the steps of determining availability of intermediate results received from a plurality of shallow reasoners, the intermediate results generated by the plurality of shallow reasoners based on the plurality of data sources; propagating the intermediate results to nodes of an ontology graph; executing incremental ontology reasoning over the ontology graph to generate inferred conclusions; and persisting inferred conclusions in an ontology database.
Abstract:
A method, system and computer program in a software framework for enabling controlled communication between a generic application on the software framework and a service application in a second environment. An access request is transmitted by the generic application to an interface provision unit. The request includes an identity of the generic application. An instant interface is provided by the interface provision unit to the second environment. The instant interface is determined by the access request and dedicated for the generic application. A response is returned by the interface provision unit to the generic application including an address to the instant interface. Thereby the instant interface permits controlled communication between the generic application and the service application, thus enabling the new controlled communication without changes of the second environment.

Abstract:
A user device communicates with a network server that has access to one or more knowledge sources. Based on a current situational context for a user of the device, the network server dynamically generates a group-related personalized dictionary using information retrieved from the knowledge sources and provides the dictionary to the user device. Applications executing on the user device can then use the dictionary to suggest or predict words, terms, or symbols to the user in response to receiving user input.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention will provide a first gateway apparatus configured to be connectable to a local network and an external network, to obtain presence information of a device apparatus on the local network and to provide the obtained presence information to a presence management apparatus on the external network, the first gateway apparatus comprising, an obtaining unit configured to obtain the presence information of the device apparatus, a transmitter configured to transmit the presence information to the presence management apparatus via the external network, and a receiver configured to receive, from the presence management apparatus, a suppression instruction of the presence information transmission, wherein the transmitter further configured to suppress the transmission of the presence information to the presence management apparatus after the reception of the suppression instruction.
Abstract:
User interactions with an interactive media program are defined by an interaction document, such as a SMIL document, that may be downloaded by a user before playing or viewing of the associated media program. In the case of live events that are recorded by the user for later viewing, the interactions that may have taken place during the original scheduled broadcast of the event may no longer be valid. In this case, a method and apparatus is provided to allow the user downloading an interaction document for a media program to receive updated versions of the interaction document that can be used when viewing a recording of the media program. In one exemplary embodiment, the media playback system sends a request for an interaction document to an interaction document server responsive to the recording of the interactive media program. The interaction document server may send the updated interaction document to the media playback system responsive to the request if one is available.
Abstract:
A network node (400) includes a receiving means (450) for receiving a first set of filtered data from a first sensor source, a processor (460) for enriching the received first set of data utilizing a second set of data, a memory (470) for storing the first set of filtered data, the second set of data and the enriched data and a transmitting means (480) for selectively transmitting the enriched data wherein the first set of data is filtered according to a first pre-set policy prior to reception at the network node.
Abstract:
According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is a data server (110) providing modified route information to a first user terminal (130) used by a first user, comprising a receiving unit (114) configured to receive a request from the first user terminal for requesting a second user terminal (120) used by a second user to modify route information, a geographical database (113) configured to store geographical data, a route information generation unit (112) configured to generate the route information indicating a route from a first location to a second location, using the geographical data, and a transmitting unit (115), configured to transmit a route modification request with the generated route information to the second user terminal. The receiving unit is further configured to receive modified route information from the second user terminal (120). The transmitting unit is further configured to transmit the modified route information to the first user terminal (130).
