20160117332 | AIDING DISCOVERY OF PROGRAM CONTENT BY PROVIDING DEEPLINKS INTO MOST INTERESTING MOMENTS VIA SOCIAL MEDIA - A computerized method, system for, and computer-readable medium operable to: retrieve program details data about at least one media program. Retrieve social media posts involving the at least one media program. Match the retrieved program details data with the retrieved social media posts to find matching locations. Store time offset data corresponding to the matched locations within the at least one media program into at least one micropost. Rank the at least one media program by the number of microposts corresponding to the at least one media program. Present the at least one media program, each of the at least one media program with at least one micropost, wherein the at least one micropost comprises a link to the original social media page hosting the social media post and a video deeplink that plays a time off-set video, the time off-set video starting from the stored time offset data. | 04-28-2016 |
20160124955 | DUAL OVERLAY QUERY PROCESSING - An example method of processing a query at a plurality of storage devices includes receiving a dual query from a client and generating a synchronous query and an asynchronous query based on the dual query. The dual query includes a set of conditions for selecting data from a set of database tables. The method further includes sending the synchronous query to a first storage device, sending the asynchronous query to a second storage device, and receiving a result set of the synchronous query. The result set of the synchronous query includes data selected from a set of database records in a set of primary database tables, which is stored in the first storage device and is a subset of the set of database tables. The method further includes marking a database record. A marked database record indicates usage of the data selected from the database record within a time period. | 05-05-2016 |
20160132571 | Method and Apparatus for Presenting Spatial-Temporal Data - A method and apparatus for presenting spatial-temporal data, which relate to the field of information processing technologies, are presented. When querying data according to a user query request, the apparatus for presenting spatial-temporal data finds various types of data that correspond to a spatial condition and that are included in the data that the user query request requests to query, where the various types of data include regional data and variation data of a preset feature, and presents, in a graph, both the regional data and the variation data of the preset feature. In this way, various types of data are found during data query, so that spatial-temporal data is presented in a centralized way in a specific manner, and spatial-temporal data dynamics may be further presented and hence a user intuitively views an association relationship between spatial data and temporal data, which facilitates further analysis of the data. | 05-12-2016 |
20160140128 | Aggregation and Display of Search Results from Multi-Criteria Search Queries on Event Data - Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is organized into discrete events with normalized time stamps and the events are indexed by time and keyword. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time indexing mechanism, keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search. | 05-19-2016 |
20160147766 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING STRUCTURED DATA FILES - A computer implemented method, program, system, and apparatus for searching structured databases is disclosed. This invention teaches the collation of results based on the time that a search is performed by a user by sending individual time-based queries to the database such that only an subset of results is obtained for each query. The time associated with each query is recorded in one or more datasets which correspond to the search being performed, and the datasets are consulted before each additional time-based query such that no time period is queried twice for the same search. By querying based on a subset of results existing in a particular time frame, the invention serves to limit load on a database and a user device while also removing the need for de-duplication of results, presenting the user with a collated list of the most relevant results based on the current time. | 05-26-2016 |
20160147769 | Object Score Adjustment Based on Analyzing Machine Data - Systems and methods for assigning scores to objects based on evaluating triggering conditions applied to datasets produced by search queries in data aggregation and analysis systems. An example method may comprise: executing, by one or more processing devices, a search query to produce a dataset comprising one or more data items derived from source data; and responsive to determining that at least a portion of the dataset satisfies a triggering condition, modifying a score assigned to an object to which the portion of the dataset pertains. | 05-26-2016 |
20160147773 | SERVER SIDE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCH BACKED CALENDAR USER INTERFACE - A method is provided to produce a custom calendar user interface for display on an electronic device display screen comprising: receiving over a network code objects adapted for use to generate visual content items on the different user device display screens; receiving over the network from a user device, receiving a search query; identifying one or more respective received code objects that match the received search query; and sending over the network to one or more user devices, information indicating the identified matching code objects. | 05-26-2016 |
20160147790 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROFILING USERS - Provided is a process of profiling a user of a mobile computing device, the process including: obtaining a location history of a user, the location history being based on signals from a mobile computing device of the user; obtaining a location-attribute score of a location identified in, or inferred from, the location history; determining, with a computer, a user-attribute score based on the location-attribute score; and storing the user-attribute score in a user-profile datastore. | 05-26-2016 |
20160147844 | Applying Level of Permanence to Statements to Influence Confidence Ranking - An approach is provided to identify permanence data corresponding to terms included in a corpus of a question answering (QA) system. Based on the identified permanence, a time-based confidence of each of the terms is established. Terms are identified as a plurality of candidate answers to a question posed to the QA system. Each of the plurality of candidate answers are scored with the scoring being at least partially based on the time-based confidence established for each of the terms. | 05-26-2016 |
