20110125767 | System and Methods for Updating User Profiles and Providing Selected Documents to Users - The present invention provides an improved recommender system. In some embodiments, the recommender system automatically builds a user profile for a user based solely on the action or actions the user takes with respect to certain documents and the contents of the documents. That is, the profile is based on implicit ratings. In addition to maintaining a user profile for each user, each document in a set of documents will have its own document profile, which is also referred to as a document vector. Advantageously, in some embodiments, the user profile will consist of the same attributes as the document vectors. This advantageous feature enables the recommender system to compare users and documents in order to generate recommendations. | 05-26-2011 |
20110208702 | Method and System for Verifying Geographical Descriptiveness of Media File - The invention relates to a system for verifying geographical descriptiveness of a media file, such as a picture. The system comprises storage means adapted to store a media file, communication means adapted to send said media file to a plurality of user terminals, and to receive, from the user terminals, data indicating a guessed geographical position with which the user of each user terminal associates the media file. The system also comprises calculation means adapted to determine whether the media file is indicative of a geographical position based on the guessed geographical positions received from the plurality of user terminal. | 08-25-2011 |
20110219226 | Method of Triggering Location Based Events in a User Equipment - Methods, a user equipment, a server host, a client application, computer program products, and a server computer program. These methods and components can be utilized by a location based service. One method regards triggering of events in the user equipment based on a position of the user equipment, comprising the steps of:—looking up, in a server database at least one network cell-identity associated with a predefined geographical area,—sending the network cell-identity to the user equipment,—storing the network cell-identity in a database in the user equipment,—obtaining a current network cell-identity to which the user equipment currently is connected,—comparing in the user equipment the current network cell-identity with network cell-identities stored in the database, and—retrieving content associated with the current network cell-identity if the current network cell identity is among the network cell-identities in the database. | 09-08-2011 |
20130210455 | AGGREGATING DEMOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION - A method for aggregating demographic distribution information from a plurality of networks, the method comprising, in each network: monitoring the location of each of a plurality of user devices in each of a plurality of location areas; retrieving demographic information associated with a plurality of user devices; transmitting an indication of the demographic distribution for each location area to a data collector; the method further comprising: receiving the indications at the data collector and collating the information to generate an aggregated demographic distribution map. | 08-15-2013 |
20130290332 | Method of Building a Geo-Tree - A method of building a geo-tree includes collecting a plurality of data items having geographic and contextual tags, associating the geographic tags with the contextual tags, clustering the collected data items based on the contextual tags, classifying the clusters based on the contextual tags, building a geo-tree with each classified cluster being associated with a node on the tree and storing the geo-tree. | 10-31-2013 |
20140274137 | Methods and Devices for Providing, Receiving or Managing Maps - A method for retrieving maps from a map server is disclosed where, as an intermediate step, map meta-data is requested on the basis of which one or more map can later be selected. Map meta-data on the basis of location data, indicating the location of the user device, and map criteria, specifying at least one condition for selecting maps which may be entered manually or automatically into a user device. The request is sent to a map server where a search for map meta-data matching the received location data and map criteria is executed. In case of at least one match between the map meta-data, the location data and the map criteria, map meta-data associated with at least one map is provided to the user device, such that the user device can select at least one map, which can be acquired from the map server, at least partly on the basis of the retrieved map meta-data. | 09-18-2014 |

20140361902 | METHODS, USER EQUIPMENT, PROPERTY DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR DETECTING MOVEMENT OF THE PROPERTY DEVICE AND OF INDICATING SUCH MOVEMENT AT THE USER DEVICE - Short or middle range capabilities are activated at a user device, if not already active, in response to receiving a first message initiated at the property device via a wireless wide range connection. a response message, indicating that the short or middle range capabilities of the user device are active, is transmitted to the property device, via a wireless wide range connection. In response to receiving a second message initiated at the property device and indicating a failed scanning for the user device by the property device via a wireless wide range connection, an alarm indicating movement of the property device and that the property device is located out of range for the short or middle range capabilities of the user device is activated at the user device. At the property device, failed scanning processe(s) triggers the property device to initiate alarm activation at the user device. | 12-11-2014 |
