Abstract:
A method for classifying regions defined within a digital image includes defining a tessellated set of regions from a plurality of regions identified by a plurality of segmented versions of the digital image and then classifying each tessellated region according to a likelihood that the tessellated region contains text.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for scanning media. In one embodiment, a system and a method pertain to scanning a platen at a relatively low resolution using a dedicated preview image sensor, and pre-processing image data obtained through the scanning of the platen to automatically determine settings to apply during a subsequent final scan.
Abstract:
An optimal resolution imaging system comprises a resolution engine adapted to apply at least one resolution rule to at least one zone of an object to determine an optimal reduced resolution setting for the at least one zone while maintaining a predetermined quality level for the at least one zone.
Abstract:
A method of applying content and a data encoding pattern 18 to a product 10 comprises: applying the content 14 to a substrate 12; modifying the reflectivity of the content 14 at a predetermined wavelength; and applying the pattern 18 to the product, wherein the method is such that the pattern can be distinguished from the content at the predetermined wavelength.
Abstract:
A system and method for language variation guided operator selection is disclosed. The method discloses: initiating a dialog between a contact and a call handling system; identifying a language variation spoken by the contact; determining a skill level with respect to the language variation for each operator within a set of operators; selecting an operator whose skill level in the language variation is above a predetermined value; and transferring the dialog with the contact to the operator. The system discloses means and embodiments for implementing the method.
Abstract:
A method for generating a modifiable summary of medical data derived from a patient can comprise steps of selecting a subset of medical data from a medical database, wherein the subset at least partially is uniquely associated with an individual patient, and generating a living graphical representation from at least a portion of the subset. The living graphical representation can be dynamically reconfigurable upon modification of the portion. In another embodiment, a method for customizing patient medical information for presentation to a patient as a customized file can comprise steps of determining a medical condition of a patient, identifying static data related to the medical condition, and identifying dynamic data uniquely related to the patient. Additional steps can include forming a customized file of the patient from the static and dynamic data, wherein the customized file summarizes at least an episode of medical care.
Abstract:
A method for presenting content to an audience includes the steps of receiving a voice input from an audience member, determining the identity of the audience member, converting the voice input from the identified audience member to text, and presenting the text to the audience. A system that brings about the method is also described.
Abstract:
A system comprises a first speech recognition engine, a second speech recognition engine, and evaluation logic coupled to the first and second speech recognition engines. The evaluation logic evaluates the first and second speech recognition engines based on evaluation voice signals from a user and, based on the evaluation, selects one of said speech recognition engines to process additional speech signals from the user.
Abstract:
In at least some embodiments, a system may comprise a user voice interface, a processor coupled to the user voice interface, wherein the processor interprets words spoken by a user, and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores an email application, wherein the email application summarizes email messages and navigates a plurality of email messages according to the words spoken by the user.
Abstract:
A system for distinguishing a package includes a plurality of identifiers, where at least one of the identifiers is intentionally non-functional. The system also includes an identifier indicator that indicates the identity of the at least one of the identifiers that is intentionally non-functional. In addition, the identifier indicator is stored on at least one of the package and a database and is accessible by a user to authenticate the package.
