20120136865 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING CONTEXTUALLY RELEVANT GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS - An approach is provided for determining and utilizing geographical locations contextually relevant to a user. A contextually relevant location platform determines location-based data associated with a user and/or user device. The contextually relevant location platform determines stationary points based, at least in part, on the location-based data. The contextually relevant location platform determines context data associated with the stationary points. The contextually relevant location platform determines at least one location anchor based, at least in part, on the stationary points and the associated context data, wherein the at least one location anchor represents a bounded geographical area of contextual relevance to the user. | 05-31-2012 |
20120166132 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS USING USER EQUIPMENT - A method including determining to sense, using a user equipment, first data related to a physical characteristic associated with a user taken at a first time. The method further including determining to display a result based on an analysis of the first data. | 06-28-2012 |
20130245832 | Pre-Call Scheduling Assistant - In accordance with exemplary embodiments there is determining geo-routines of a user, the geo-routines based on at least one of a location and an altitude and a trajectory of the user, recording the determined geo-routines of user of the system; and based on a current trajectory of a user indicating that the user is going to use a transportation system, optimizing a use of the system according to the recorded geo-routines of the user of the system. In addition, sending information including a location and/or an altitude of a user, and a trajectory of the user, the information associated with a current geo-routine of the user, and receiving information to optimize the use of a transportation system, the receiving based on a current trajectory indicating that the user is going to use the transportation system and on the current geo-routine and/or historical geo-routines of a user of the transportation system. | 09-19-2013 |
20130253817 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENSING BASED ON ROUTE BIAS - An approach is provided for sensing based on route bias. The goal processor processes and/or facilitates a processing of one or more geo-routes, one or more location anchors, or a combination thereof associated with one or more devices to determine proximity information of the one or more devices to one or more sensing goals. The goal processor causes, at least in part, a selection of at least a subset of the one or more devices to participate in the one or more sensing goals based, at least in part, on the proximity information. | 09-26-2013 |
20130262371 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPUTER ASSISTED INNOVATION - The present invention relates to a method of computer assisted innovation. The invention provides a method which can automatically generate suggested innovation opportunities which may then be viewed or otherwise communicated to and analysed by a user. The invention provides a method and apparatus for determining innovation opportunities by selecting one or more terms; determining trend data relating to a selected element; determining an innovation likelihood measure for said selected element in dependence upon said trend data; identifying an innovation opportunity in dependence upon said innovation likelihood measure. | 10-03-2013 |
20130262483 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INTELLIGENT PROCESSING OF CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION - An approach is provided for providing intelligent processing of contextual information. An context platform determines at least one feature based, at least in part, on one or more contextual parameters The context platform further processes one or more contextual records to determine whether the at least one feature is a feature anchor based, at least in part, on whether the at least feature is represented above at least one threshold level. The context platform also processes the one or more contextual records to determine at least one profile for the at least one feature anchor. | 10-03-2013 |
20130326578 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING PRIVACY POLICY BASED ON DATA AND ASSOCIATED VALUES - A method includes determining at least one value for at least one instance of data; determining at least one privacy policy, at least one security policy, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the at least one value; and causing, at least in part, an application of the at least one privacy policy, the at least one security policy, or a combination thereof with respect to the at least one instance of data. | 12-05-2013 |
20150106369 | SYSTEM FOR MESSAGING A USER - A system for messaging users is provided that comprises a therapeutic regime datastore arranged to store therapeutic activity information including information on therapeutic activities forming part of a therapeutic regime of a first user, the therapeutic regime of the first user relating to a health condition of the first user and a user datastore arranged to store information on a plurality of second users. A monitor mechanism is provided to monitor the first user to determine if the first user performs a therapeutic activity for which therapeutic activity information is stored in the therapeutic regime datastore and to produce an adherence result for that therapeutic activity based on the determination. An output mechanism is provided to output information to the second users regarding the adherence result, and a receiver mechanism is provided to receive messages from the second users to the first user relating to the adherence result. A ranking processor is provided to assign a ranking score to each of the second users, with the ranking score relating to the likely influence between a said second user and the first user. The output mechanism is arranged to output one or more messages from the second users to the first user in consideration of the ranking scores. | 04-16-2015 |
