20080215989 | Collaborative Device for Enabling Users to Select Collaborative Content, and Method Thereof - The invention relates to a method of enabling a first user and a second user to obtain collaborative content. The method comprises steps of obtaining a plurality of content preference data comprising a first content preference data ( | 09-04-2008 |
20100049096 | SYSTEM FOR FALL PREVENTION AND A METHOD FOR FALL PREVENTION USING SUCH A SYSTEM - System for fall prevention for a user, comprising a number of sensors ( | 02-25-2010 |
20100261980 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING AN ABNORMAL SITUATION - To improve the power efficiency of a monitoring system, especially for worn devices, the present invention provides a monitoring system ( | 10-14-2010 |
20100293164 | ACCESSING MEDICAL IMAGE DATABASES USING MEDICALLY RELEVANT TERMS - The invention relates to a system for accessing a database comprising a plurality of image data sets. The system comprises an acquisition unit for acquiring a query for searching the database for an image data set or an image data subset comprised in an image data set, the query comprising at least one medically relevant term defining search criteria; a determining unit for determining the image data set or the image data subset comprised in the image data set, based on the strength of semantic matches between the at least one medically relevant term and (a) corresponding medical annotation(s) describing the image data set; and a retrieving unit for retrieving the determined image data set or image data subset from the database. By enabling semantic matches between medical annotations describing the image data set and the medically relevant term comprised in the query, this invention enables searching for medical images with high-level medical information that is meaningful for medical diagnosis and treatments. | 11-18-2010 |
20110128444 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING AND DETECTING FINGERPRINTS FOR SYNCHRONIZING AUDIO AND VIDEO - This invention relates to a device and a method of generating a first and a second fingerprint ( | 06-02-2011 |
20110152727 | FALL PREVENTION SYSTEM - There is provided a system for fall prevention for a user, comprising one or more sensors for attachment to respective portions of the body, each sensor being adapted to measure movement of the respective portion of the body and to translate the movement into a signal; and a controller adapted to receive the signal or signals and to determine a risk of falling by estimating a trajectory of the centre of mass of the user relative to a trajectory of a lower portion of the body from the signal or signals. | 06-23-2011 |
20110201972 | FALL DETECTION SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF OPERATING A FALL DETECTION SYSTEM | 08-18-2011 |
20120016876 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING AND DETECTING A FINGERPRINT FUNCTIONING AS A TRIGGER MARKER IN A MULTIMEDIA SIGNAL - A device is configured to perform a method that detects a trigger marker for an action corresponding to a segment of a multimedia signal. A fingerprint is generated based on the segment of the multimedia signal at a trigger time point. The generated fingerprint is stored in a database and communicated to the device. During playback of the multimedia signal, fingerprints of segments of the multimedia signal are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, one or more associated actions for the segment are retrieved by the device. The trigger time point may be determined as a time point near or at the segment of the multimedia signal with the matched fingerprint. In this way, trigger markers for actions may be enabled without modifying the multimedia signal. | 01-19-2012 |
20120095722 | FALL PREVENTION - There is provided a method of determining a fall risk of a user, the method comprising collecting measurements of the motion of the user, estimating a value for a parameter related to the gait of the user from the measurements, and determining a fall risk for the user from a comparison of the estimated value with a normal value for the parameter determined from motion of the user in which the user is at their normal risk of falling. | 04-19-2012 |
20130128115 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING AND DETECTING FINGERPRINTS FOR SYNCHRONIZING AUDIO AND VIDEO - This invention relates to a device and a method of generating a first and a second fingerprint ( | 05-23-2013 |
20140130077 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING AND DETECTING A FINGERPRINT FUNCTIONING AS A TRIGGER MARKER IN A MULTIMEDIA SIGNAL - A device is configured to perform a method that detects a trigger marker for an action corresponding to a segment of a multimedia signal. A fingerprint is generated based on the segment of the multimedia signal at a trigger time point. The generated fingerprint is stored in a database and communicated to the device. During playback of the multimedia signal, fingerprints of segments of the multimedia signal are generated and matched against fingerprints in the database. When a match is found, one or more associated actions for the segment are retrieved by the device. The trigger time point may be determined as a time point near or at the segment of the multimedia signal with the matched fingerprint. In this way, trigger markers for actions may be enabled without modifying the multimedia signal. | 05-08-2014 |
20140191863 | APPARATUS FOR USE IN A FALL DETECTOR OR FALL DETECTION SYSTEM, AND A METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - There is provided a method of operating a fall detector, the method comprising, on detecting a fall event by a user of the fall detector, measuring at least one physiological characteristic of the user; and using the measurement of the at least one physiological characteristic to determine whether to expedite an alert that the user has fallen. An apparatus comprising a processor that is configured to perform the method described above is also provided. | 07-10-2014 |
