The system comprises an improved document monitoring agent in which user evaluations are used to decide whether a changed document should be saved in the system or not. The evaluation of importance of the change in a document is performed by one or more users who collaboratively monitor a networked document, typically identified by a URL. By providing a user evaluation interface, it is possible for users to indicate their evaluation of the significance of the change. As such, only significantly changed documents, as indicated by the users themselves, are saved. Thus, a more efficient saving is obtained while at the same time reducing the risk of discarding potentially interesting changed documents which would have been discarded by conventional monitoring agents.

A system that (a) monitors and analyzes a website visitor's (or ‘user's’) behavioral patterns in real-time; (b) identifies key users by comparing the user's actions and information derived thereof to a set of pre-defined, merchant-specific business rules; (c) makes a sales and customer service offer to the user only if (1) The user satisfies the merchant's business rules and can therefore be defined as a ‘key’ customer and (2) a suitable sales assistant is online and available to deliver a sales pitch or service assistance to the customer; (d) notifies the available sales assistant only if the customer accepts of the customer service offer and (e) enables communication between the sales assistant and the user through a textual, audio or video interface, (f) improves the appropriateness of allocation of customer service representatives to users, based on user feedback, behavioral patterns and user evaluation.

At the start of a process, an information presenting section presents information expressed by a solution vector, while an auxiliary information presenting section presents information for facilitating comparative evaluation of multiple pieces of information being presented simultaneously. Based on these pieces of information, the user evaluates each solution vector. A model estimation executing section generates an evaluation model for an adjustment process from a user evaluation history, and thereafter, a model evaluation calculating section performs evaluation using the evaluation model. A fitness calculating section calculates fitness from the evaluation made by the user or by the model, and in accordance with the thus calculated fitness, a recombination operation section performs an arithmetical recombination operation. The above process is iteratively performed to carry out optimum adjustment of solution vectors.

A method for capturing a user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP). The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of distributed content access, the user's personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP creates a user session that records the user's navigation of the distributed content. The EP uses incentive programs to entice the user to rate the distributed content page. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content if the distributed content page has a content rating window and if the user meets the minimum evaluation criteria for the distributed content page. The EP displays a content rating window allowing the user to rate the distributed content page. The EP saves the user's evaluation with the user session data and closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content.

The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a system and method to improve the rating process by asking for feedback through a simple tag interface, which allows a user to rate content. The tag interface has an overall rating and at least one tag to be rated by the user. The user's rating of the tag helps classify the content for other users and the system forming a link between the user's overall rating and tag rating indicates the user's tastes. By systematically asking the users to evaluate a small subset of qualities in the form of tags, as opposed to asking each user to evaluate a large amount of tags, the system pieces together a large understanding of the content in a way that is very simple for the users.

Remote site connections are screened based on assessments performed by members of a trust community. Data based on a plurality of end-user assessments of particular remote sites are received at a server from a plurality of end-users. Each end-user is associated with a specific client machine which is in communication with the server. The server generates assessment scores based on the data. Each of the assessment scores may be a ratio of end-users. The server transmits the assessment scores to the client machines. The client machine selectively takes protective action against ones of the particular remote sites that have an undesirable assessment score generated by the server. The protective action may be determined by comparing the assessment score against an individually specified end-user rule, wherein at least two client machines have different rules.

A process for correcting the time stamp of recordings such as photographs, obtained in many locations. An onboard clock records a time stamp for each photograph. GPS tracking data is obtained during movement of the camera. A time correction is sought, to account for an unknown error in the onboard clock, relative to the trusted GPS time data. To this end, an assigned location of each photograph is generated from the location tracking data and from an estimated time correction. Indicators of an appropriate time correction include clustering of the assigned locations, and correlation of the assigned locations to locations of reduced velocity. A GUI can be used to enable user assessment of clustering and / or correlation, and indication of a suitable time correction. Or, algorithmic assessment can be used. The determined time correction can be used to correct each photograph's time stamp.

A method for securely relaying personal data between a telemedicine device and a remote terminal via a proxy server includes establishing a communication link between the telemedicine device and the proxy server over a first communication network. A request, including authentication access data, is received from a remote terminal for a remote user to assess personal data of a telemedicine device user. Upon validating the authentication access data to approve access to the personal data on the telemedicine device by the remote user, the personal data is relayed between the telemedicine device and the remote terminal in a remote assess session while preventing secure personal data of the telemedicine device user from being sent to the proxy server. If the telemedicine device communicates over a second communication network, the communication link is re-established with the proxy server over the second communication network without terminating the remote access session.
