The new applications include games and entertainments such as digital fortune cookies, and treasure hunting, unique techniques for digital right management, or even additional privacy and survivability on data storage and transport on cloud computing. Wavefront multiplexing/demultiplexing process (WF muxing/demuxing) embodying an architecture that utilizes multi-dimensional waveforms has found applications in data storage and transport on cloud. Multiple data sets are preprocessed by WF muxing before stored/transported. WF muxed data is aggregated data from multiple data sets that have been “customized processed” and disassembled into any scalable number of sets of processed data, with each set being stored on a storage site. The original data is reassembled via WF demuxing after retrieving a lesser but scalable number of WF muxed data sets. A customized set of WF muxing on multiple digital files as inputs including at least a data message file and a selected digital envelop file, is configured to guarantee at least one of the multiple outputs comprising a weighted sum of all inputs with an appearance to human natural sensors substantially identical to the appearance of the selected digital envelop in a same image, video or audio format. Enveloping processing is a subset of WF muxing processing. The output file is the file with enveloped or embedded messages. The embedded message may be reconstituted by a corresponding WF demuxing processor at destination with the known a priori information of the original digital envelope. In short, digital enveloping/de-enveloping can be implemented via WF muxing and demuxing formulations. WF muxed data featured enhanced privacy and redundancy in data transport and storage on cloud. On the other hand, data enveloping is an application in an opposite direction for conventional WF muxing applications as far as redundancy is concerned. Enveloped data are intended only for limited receivers who has access to associated digital envelope data files with enhanced privacy for no or minimized redundancy. | 2015-01-29 |

Further, a score for a relationship between a target node and a source node representative of the input query is computed based at least in part upon the path-constrained random walks. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032768 | MANAGING ITEM QUERIES - A network-based service may be provided for facilitating queries for a number of items, such as travel services. The items may be complimentary, such that users frequently desire to purchase two or more items in conjunction. A user may submit a query including criteria for determining one or more relevant items. Based on the submitted query, the network-based service may infer a desired travel plan of the user, such as a trip or vacation to a specific destination. The network-based service may use the inferred travel plan to generate queries for combinations of items that correspond to the inferred travel plan. These queries, or items corresponding to the queries, may then be returned to the user. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032769 | Generating Playlists Using Calendar, Location And Event Data - A system and method of generating a playlist includes searching an event database having multiple events stored therein. One of the events is identified as corresponding to a user's interest data. A song database is searched. The song database includes at least one song corresponding to the identified event. A playlist corresponding to the identified event is generated. The playlist includes a list of at least one song corresponding to the identified event and a logical link to a recording of the at least one song. Access to the playlist can then be provided to the user. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032770 | PROVIDING REGIONAL CONTENT BY MATCHING GEOGRAPHICAL PROPERTIES - A method and a system provide regional content to users by associating data files with geographical properties and matching the geographical property of a data file with the geographical property of the user. The system extracts geographical information from a data file, and associates the data file with a source geographical property corresponding to the extracted geographical information according to a geographical information database. Upon obtaining a user geographical property of a user, the system provides the data file to the user if the source geographical property matches the user geographical property. The method and the system may be implemented using a geographical name lexicon or a geographical name suffix lexicon. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032771 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHARING GEO-LOCALIZED INFORMATION IN A SOCIAL NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - An augmented reality social network system is provided. The system allows social network users to capture and share emotional sentiment with other users in the system via simple one word postings or “thoughts” which may be associated as metadata with location-tagged photographs taken using a camera on a client device. Users are able to comment on these thoughts and their associated images, as well as provide emotional feedback by indicating an emotional response generated by the posted thoughts. The thoughts may be superimposed on images and may also be interactive. | 2015-01-29 |

20150032773 | MONITORING A MONITORING-TARGET PROCESS - A method and system for monitoring a monitoring-target process. A monitoring-condition registry is searched for a monitoring condition record that controls implementation of the monitoring-target process. The searching includes using a process label as a search key. The process label uniquely identifies the monitoring-target process. It is determined from the searching that the monitoring condition record is stored in the monitoring-condition registry and in response, the monitoring condition record is deleted from the monitoring-condition registry. After the monitoring condition record is deleted from the monitoring-condition registry, a determination is made of the monitoring conditions controlling implementation of the monitoring-target process, after which the monitoring condition record is generated. The generated monitoring condition record includes the determined monitoring conditions. The generated monitoring condition record is stored in the monitoring-condition registry. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032774 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING DATA IN A PARALLEL DATABASE ENVIRONMENT - An exemplary computer implemented method for processing data in a database management system implemented on a network of two or more nodes is disclosed. The method includes receiving a query referencing first and second user-defined table functions and a table distributed across the two or more nodes. The first user-defined table function is executed on each of the two or more nodes by processing records of the table residing on the respective nodes. A data sample is generated per node as a result of executing the first user-defined table function on each of the two or more nodes. The generated data samples are stored in a selected set of nodes. The second user-defined table function is executed on each of the selected set of nodes by processing records of the data samples residing on the respective nodes of the selected set of nodes to compute a user-defined aggregate. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032775 | SEGMENT DATA VISIBILITY AND MANAGEMENT IN A DISTRIBUTED DATABASE OF TIME STAMPED RECORDS - A distributed database of time stamped records can be used to store time series data such as events occurring on the Internet. A distributed database of time stamped records can store segments of data that contain events for different time intervals. The volume of events occurring on the Internet introduces a “Big Data” variable that makes collections of data sets so large and complex they are difficult to manage. Disclosed are systems and methods to manage segments of a distributed database of time stamped records for optimal size (for storage and performance reasons etc.) and for proper visibility to data when different segments contain data for overlapping time periods. | 2015-01-29 |
20150032776 | CROSS-CUTTING EVENT CORRELATION - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for cross-cutting event correlation in an enterprise computing monitoring and management system. An enterprise computing monitoring and management system can include a hierarchy of nodes, where several of the nodes are each coupled to a corresponding embedded correlation engine and an event bus. The system further can include a root node among the nodes. The root node can be coupled to the event bus and to centralized correlation logic programmed to identify a high correspondence between events from a particular event source among the nodes and a particular set of correlation rules in that correlation engine. The identification of such correspondence can be used to move to the set of correlation rules to an embedded correlation engine closer to the particular event source. | 2015-01-29 |
