Self-Learning And Self-Personalizing Knowledge Search Engine That Delivers Holistic Results

View page
US Patent:
6397212, May 28, 2002
Filed:
Mar 4, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/262953
Inventors:
Peter Biffar - Palo Alto CA, 94301
Assignee:
Peter Biffar - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F 1730
US Classification:
707 5, 707 10, 705 7
Abstract:
A search engine provides intelligent multi-dimensional searches, in which the search engine always presents a complete, holistic result, and in which the search engine presents knowledge (i. e. linked facts) and not just information (i. e. facts). The search engine is adaptive, such that the search results improve over time as the system learns about the user and develops a user profile. Thus, the search engine is self personalizing, i. e. it collects and analyzes the user history, and/or it has the user react to solutions and learns from such user reactions. The search engine generates profiles, e. g. it learns from all searches of all users and combines the user profiles and patterns of similar users. The search engine accepts direct user feedback to improve the next search iteration One feature of the invention is locking/unlocking, where a user may select specific attributes that are to remain locked while the search engine matches these locked attributes to all unlocked attributes. The user may also specify details about characteristics, provide and/or receive qualitative ratings of an overall result, and introduce additional criteria to the search strategy or select a search algorithm.

Rule Based Proximity And Time Based Tracking System

View page
US Patent:
7187278, Mar 6, 2007
Filed:
Mar 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/221409
Inventors:
Peter Biffar - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G08B 1/08
US Classification:
34053913, 34053914, 34042619, 3405681, 3405391, 34082536, 34082549, 340988, 340994, 340989
Abstract:
A method and apparatus that automatically tracks, monitors and schedules the shipping of objects through carriers such as delivery trucks, ships, or planes is disclosed. A tracking tag is attached to each shipped object. The tracking tag and transportation system uses such techniques as GPS, cellular technology, and bar coding, and sensors such as those that make temperature, pressure, and noise measurements as sources of tracking information. Logic rules and hierarchical weights are given to each source, for any given condition so that the most accurate tracking is made. Tracking is continuous throughout the object's trip. Another set of logic rules is applied to take actions to intervene in the shipping process. For example if it seems the object is off schedule, upgrades or downgrades to the shipping are made. The transportation system can be integrated within a customer's company to facilitate easy scheduling, and production management.

Self-Contained Payment System With Circulating Digital Vouchers

View page
US Patent:
59038802, May 11, 1999
Filed:
Jul 19, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/684218
Inventors:
Peter C. Biffar - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F17/00
US Classification:
705 39
Abstract:
A self-contained payment system uses circulating digital vouchers for the transfer of value. The system creates and transfers digital vouchers. A digital voucher has an identifying element and a dynamic log. The identifying element includes information such as the transferable value, a serial number and a digital signature. The dynamic log records the movement of the voucher through the system and accordingly grows over time. This allows the system operator to not only reconcile the vouchers before redeeming them but also to recreate the history of movement of a voucher should an irregularity like a duplicate voucher be detected. These vouchers are used within a self-contained system including a large number of remote devices which are linked to a central system. The central system can be linked to an external system. The external system, as well as the remote devices, are connected to the central system by any one or a combination of networks.
