Полезная модель относится к устройствам оказания услуг по продаже автомобилей. Техническим результатом предлагаемой полезной модели является повышение точности оценки состояния автомобиля, обусловленная возможностью учета устройством количества дефектов, их расположения, значимости. Все блоки устройства могут быть соединены магистралью передачи данных. В случае использования магистрали передачи данных каждый из блоков подсоединен к магистрали передачи данных или к соответствующей магистрали передачи данных, соединяющей отдельные группы блоков или блоки. Также блоки устройства могут быть соединены проводящими кабелями или оптоволоконными кабелями с обеспечением возможности передачи данных между соединенными блоками. После подтверждения заполнения всех данных об автомобиле в устройстве рассчитывают оценки состояния кузова, салона, технического состояния, сопутствующих факторов. При этом расчет оценки начинают с наименьшей оценки. Например, блок проверки правил для повышения предварительной оценки кузова 40 получает информацию от блока хранения данных о наличии повреждений кузова 8 о количестве повреждений каждой детали кузова конкретного автомобиля, блока хранения предельных значений рангов повреждений деталей кузова 20, блока хранения условий проверки рангов повреждений деталей кузова 24, блока хранения предельных значений количества повреждений деталей кузова 28, блока хранения условий проверки количества повреждений деталей кузова 32, блока присваивания предварительной оценки кузова 36. Блок проверки правил для повышения предварительной оценки кузова 40 получает команды от блока управления 44 о необходимости проверки правил для повышения оценки кузова.

Принадлежит: Azuki Systems Inc

In a system for streaming data over a network, the type and rate of streaming are automatically varied based on available network bandwidth. Video media is transcoded into different bit rate encodings that are divided into segment files. Segments are sent from a network-aware adaptive streaming (NAAS) server and reassembled and presented to a media player at a client device. The system may download additional segment files ahead of time from multiple NAAS servers to increase throughput. A playback status (“bookmark”) may be maintained to keep track of what the user has viewed and to allow the user to continue playing from where the user left off. The user may continue watching from the bookmark point on the same device or on a different device.

In the financial-services industry, there are online centers that help brokers to match sellers and buyers of stock based on indications of interest (IOIs). However, at least some of these centers are not only limited in the types of IOIs that they provide, but also in the ways how they allow IOI senders to control IOI usage. Accordingly, the present inventors devised, among other things, exemplary systems, methods, interfaces, and software that enhance the ability of such online centers, or financial-information systems, to facilitate trades. One exemplary system provides an IOI which is associated with an online negotiation capability. Some embodiments provide mechanisms for users, such as broker-dealers, to define different IOI response privileges for recipients of their IOIs. To reduce the market risks of failed negotiations, some embodiments provide automated features for comparing confidential information from traders and initiating online negotiations for stock transactions contingent on favorable comparisons.

The method and system for TV user profile data prediction and modeling allows accurate and narrowly focused behavioral clustering. A client-side system classifies television consumers into representative user profiles. The profiles target individual user advertising and program preference category groups. A contextual behavioral profiling system determines the user's monitor behavior and content preferences, and the system may be continually updated with user information. A behavioral model database is queried by various system modules. The programming, including targeted advertising for television and interactive television is based on the profile data prediction, modeling and preference determination. The system is enabled to present a complete program sequence to the viewer based on the preference determination and stored programming. The latter is referred to as automatic program sequence (virtual channel) creation and the virtual channel can be presented as a separate channel in an electronic programming guide (EPG).

A method and a system are provided for deducing shadow user profile attributes for ad campaigns aimed at target users. In one example, the system extracts tagged data from source data. The tagged data includes label information associated with an actual profile for a user. The tagged data is associated with the user. The system prepares the tagged data by splitting the tagged data into datasets, including at least training data and test data. The system generates one or more individual models based on the tagged data, wherein the one or more individual models provide the ability to deduce attributes of a profile for the user. The system then generates a composite model based on the individual models. The composite model includes a combination of the individual models that are associated with the user. The system may charge a premium for ad campaigns that are aimed at target users who are each assigned one or more shadow profile attribute values. The system may determine the premium based on the confidence level with which the one or more attribute values fits to the one or more users. The system is applicable to both display advertising and sponsored search advertising.
