A set of context profiles containing profile content rules for filtering which content within a set of personal productivity applications (such as e-mail, chat, calendar, and contacts applications) is accessible by a user. Content rules support filtering content by, for example, content originator, and/or subject matter. The context profiles are centrally maintained for control of integrated, non-integrated, and/or independently administered personal productivity applications.

Content filtering for personal productivity applications

A system and method for contextually interpreting image sequences are provided. The method comprises receiving video from one or more video sources, and generating one or more questions associated with one or more portions of the video based on at least one user-defined objective. The method further comprises sending the one or more portions of the video and the one or more questions to one or more assistants, receiving one or more answers to the one or more questions from the one or more assistants, and determining a contextual interpretation of the video based on the one or more answers and the video.

Communication plans are created, modified, and executed by a campaign server. The campaign server creates a retail environment communication plan that specifies communications to be made to unidentified shoppers in a retail environment that includes at least one sensor. The campaign server identifies a shopper in the retail environment by the at least one sensor, and creates a shopper communication plan, based on the retail environment communication plan, that specifies communications to be made to the identified shopper in the retail environment. The campaign server executes the retail environment communication plan and the shopper communication plan. In response to processing an event sensed by the at least one sensor, the campaign server modifies one or both of the retail environment communication plan and the shopper communication plan.

An integrated supply chain management with anomaly detection. An order schedule has one or more orders, each of which has a production requirement and a due date. An asset schedule has asset commitments associating assets with orders. Each asset has equipment specifications, including an asset class and one or more operational thresholds. The computer system identifies an asset of a class corresponding to a production requirement of an order and modifies the asset schedule to commit the asset to the order prior to the due date of the order. The computer system receives sensor input for the asset and determines whether an anomaly exists. If so, the computer system commits a second asset to the order.

Supply chain management anomaly detection

A method for utilizing multi-media identities for access control to a secure area or item can begin with a multi-media identity management system providing a multi-media identity to an entity for use with an access control system. The multi-media identity can be a digital identifier defining multi-media authentication data and security privileges for the entity. The provided multi-media identity and multi-media authentication data can be received in an access request for a secure area or item. The multi-media authentication data can be verified against the multi-media data elements of the multi-media identity. The security privileges of the multi-media identity can be validated for the secure area or item. When the multi-media authentication data, multi-media identity, and security privileges are valid, the entity can be granted access and denied access when at least one item is invalid.

Multi-media identity management system

An embodiment of the invention provides relative bookmarks that are sharable between developers engaged in product development utilizing integrated design environment applications. The relative bookmarks are sharable in that they can be exported, imported, activated and deactivated. The relative bookmarks are relative in that they do not rely on the original code line and contain at least function and/or data flow information, facilitating quick identification of relevant lines of code that have been previously bookmarked. The relative bookmarks can also be utilized to insert breakpoints.

A system and method configured that may allow performing a human-computer verification including crediting a verified task from a first user to a second user. In additional embodiments, may allow the user to perform a computer operation that require human-computer verification based upon an amount of credits that the user has been provided.

Efficient, peer-to-peer CAPTCHA-based verification and demand management for online services

A collaborative shopping group can be established within a social networking web site. This initially established group can consist of individuals with whom the establishing user has a social networking affiliation. After an initial establishment of the collaborative shopping group, each individual within the group is able to add additional individuals to the collaborative shopping group. A shared shopping cart can be established for the collaborative shopping group. A set of different members of the collaborative shopping group can individually and independently add items from a set of different e-commerce sites to the shared shopping cart. An e-commerce purchase of items in the shared shopping cart can be completed. The completed e-commerce purchase can receive a transaction discount greater than or equal to a sum of discounts that would have resulted from discrete purchases of the items of the shared shopping cart by the individuals of the collaborative shopping group.
