20170161464 | ACTIVITY RECORDING SYSTEM, ACTIVITY RECORDING APPARATUS, ACTIVITY RECORDING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An activity recording system includes an activity recording apparatus that detects information corresponding to motion of a user and records the detected information as main data, a mobile terminal that detects information that corresponds to motion of the user and is at least a portion of the information that is detected by the activity recording apparatus, and records the detected information as supplementary data, and a data processor that collects the main data and the supplementary data and generates log data. When the main data has a missing period, if the supplementary data has partial data for a period included in the missing period, the data processor compensates for data in the missing period in the main data with use of the partial data. | 2017-06-08 |
20170161465 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING CONTAINMENT OF AN EPIDEMIC - A system and method is disclosed for monitoring the containment of an epidemic in relation to a location-based restriction using an anonymized database of spending records. The system measures the effectiveness of a restriction by analyzing the spending records of individuals in the population and identifies transaction trends that relate to the restriction and correlates them to the effectiveness of the restriction. Based on the identified transaction trends, the system calculates the effectiveness and analyzes the restrictions according to expected trends and models of epidemic spread by geography. The system utilizes the measured effectiveness and predictive analysis to generate notifications if the effectiveness does not meet prescribed requirements and to recommend corrective action. In addition, the system can dynamically update restrictions, implement new restrictions and in certain embodiments, the system can elicit (and respond to) actions that are taken at remote devices, such as mobile phones, computers and POS terminals. | 2017-06-08 |
