A system and method for identifying a specific RFID tag includes RFID reader circuitry, such as within an RFID reader, configured for sending and receiving RF signals to detect RFID tags and for obtaining signal parameter information associated with the RFID tags. Processing circuitry is configured for using the signal parameter information for one or more tags of the RFID tags and calculating a tag score for the one or more RFID tags. The processing circuitry is further configured for determining a specific RFID tag using the tag scores for the one or more RFID tags.

Method and system for correctly identifying specific RFID tags

Systems, methods and apparatus for collecting data and presenting media to a user are provided. The systems generally includes a data gathering module associated with an electronic device. The data gathering module communicates gathered data to a management module, which manages at least one user profile based on the gathered data. The management module may select media for presentation to a user based on the user profile, and the selected media may be displayed to the user via a media output device co-located with the user, such as a display of the user's mobile electronic device or a television, computer, billboard or other display co-located with the user. Related methods are also provided.

Methods, systems and apparatus for delivery of media

A voice assistant system is disclosed which directs the voice Prompts delivered to a first user of a voice assistant to also be communicated wirelessly to the voice assistant of a second user so that the second user can hear the voice Prompts as delivered to the first user.

Training/coaching system for a voice-enabled work environment

A system and method for context based query augmentation. A question is received over a network from a questioning user comprising an identification of a user and at least one question criteria. A first query is formulated so as to search, via the network, for user profile data, social network data, spatial data, temporal data and topical data so as to identify user context data relevant to question criteria. The question is modified using the user context data to create at least one modified question having at least one additional criteria based on the user context data. A second query is formulated so as to search, via the network, for knowledge data, user profile data, social network data, spatial data, temporal data and topical data so as to identify knowledge data relevant to the identified user and the modified question criteria. The knowledge data is transmitted, over the network, to the questioning user.

System and method for context based query augmentation

A method for dynamically modifying an outgoing message language includes receiving a message from a sender. A language associated with the received message is identified and an outgoing message language is automatically set to the identified language associated with the received message.

Dynamic modification of a messaging language

A method and system for processing messages within the framework of an integrated message system. Recipients of messages in an integrated messaging system are provided with an authentic impression of the received message. In a first step, a message received within the framework of an integrated messaging system is automatically translated. Language detection and dictation system is provided. The message contents of the incoming message as well as its segments and parameters are simultaneously utilized to generate additional information regarding the sender and the information, which is suitable to give the recipient an impression of the received message in the most authentic form possible.

Method and system for processing messages within the framework of an integrated message system

A method for operating a database containing personal information includes checking the content of a message sent via a telecommunication network for the presence of personal information. If personal information is found, then the personal information is extracted from the message, the extracted information is associated with at least one person, and the extracted information is stored in a database.

Method for operating a database

Method for notification and ordering of electronic messages, especially voicemail and text messages to a phone. According to the method, in a first step, messages received by the message receiving system are analyzed with voicemail messages first being converted into text. In a second step the messages are prioritized based on the analysis. Finally the messages are provided to the user based on the priority criteria. The invention also relates to software and a computer system for implementation of the inventive method.

Electronic message notification method, especially for informing a mobile phone user of the existence of voice and text messages and their degree of importance, whereby voicemail is first converted to text using speech analysis

A method for the controlled querying of information stored in a structured format in a data processing system using a dialog system includes: providing at least one first ontology configured to store information in a structured format; and providing at least one input grammar in the dialog system configured to analyze user inputs as a function of the at least one first ontology.

Method and data processing system for the controlled query of structured saved information

A method provides customer with simple and flexible dialog control and faster access to the desired information. In response to a customer call, a control program for dialog control created with the aid of a graphical editor as a flow chart is started, once access authorization is checked. All of the computer-supported telephony (CTI) information input modules and information output modules provided within the framework of the dialog control service in question, which are subject to continuous monitoring, are simultaneously made available in parallel to the customer via a control module for controlling the resources. The customer can actively intervene in the dialog already during the welcome via the information input modules allocated to him. The dialog commences again at the place designated by the customer. The method is suitable for at least information, news and connection services which are based on very significant parallelism and which are configured for mass telephony.
