A method for controlling a portable energy storage system (PESS) includes: creating a decision optimization model for the PESS, which includes an objective function for maximizing available compensation of the PESS in the region to be applied; solving the decision optimization model to obtain a feasible solution that meets the objective function; and determining at least one of an energy charging and discharging decision, a travel decision, and an energy storage unit loading decision of the PESS in a region to be applied based on the feasible solution, and controlling operations of the PESS in the region to be applied based on at least one of the determined energy charging and discharging decision, the determined travel decision and the determined energy storage unit loading decision.

A computer converts each content sources from textual content to speech comprising a separate audio selection. The computer applies, to each audio selection, one or more speech attributes to specify the audio attributes that select a respective position of the respective audio selection from among multiple positions within a multidimensional sound space and audibly distinguish one or more characteristics of the respective audio selection from other audio selections, wherein the respective position of the respective audio selection reflects a rank of the respective audio selection as ordered by interest to a user. The computer outputs a simultaneous stream of the multiple audio selections to an audio output device for stereo play of the audio selections within the multiple positions within the multidimensional sound space to the user, with the multiple positions reflecting the content sources ordered by interest.

Selecting a primary source of text to speech based on posture

A user reading statistic data set relating to a natural language document is received. The user reading statistic data set includes information indicative of at least one of a set of user reading statistic types. A set of machine logic rules is applied to the user reading statistic data set to generate, as reading assistance to the reader with reading the natural language document, a user reading comprehension data set including information indicative of reading comprehension with respect to content of the natural language document.

Generating a structured document guiding view

An operation of a user on a document is received. The received operation is analyzed. A structured guiding view for the document is generated by using a result of the analyzing and a basic structure of the document. In certain implementations, a user's reading interests and reading habits may be analyzed through the user's reading behaviors or notations added to the document by the user, and the result of the analyzing may be mapped into an intuitively presentable structured guiding view for the document.
