Abstract

A system and related techniques provide an integrated platform for privacy management of electronic medical records, encompassing the entire life cycle of privacy management including the capture of patient consents and other privacy status information, request management to receive and filter requests by health insurance companies and others, publishing management and release management of the contents of the electronic medical record. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, various modules and logic may directly access the patient EMR and extract appropriate segments of information called for by validated requests, to publish that information as well as record or log that access history. The invention may thus provide an integrated tool to document compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements. According to embodiments of the invention in another regard, medical information requests and other transactions which were originally made in paper or hard-copy form may likewise be assimilated into the access database, along with release requests which are electronic in nature.

International Classification

H04M 1/2745

Abstract

A method for contact list prioritization according to predicted reachability includes loading a contact list of contacts and retrieving a reachability value for each corresponding contact in the contact list that has been computed for each corresponding contact according to usage data of each corresponding contact for an associated mobile telephone. Thereafter, contacts in the contact list that are determined to be most reachable according to a corresponding reachability value are displayed first. In one aspect, the usage data for the associated mobile telephone is based upon accelerometer data of the associated mobile telephone. In another aspect, the usage data is based upon recency or frequency of use of the mobile telephone to place telephone calls. In yet another aspect, the usage data is based upon recency or frequency of use of a messaging application executing in the associated mobile telephone. Finally, in even yet another aspect, the usage data is based upon recency or frequency of posting content to a social network through the associated mobile telephone.

Abstract

An object located within an image foreground relative to image content within a field of view of at least one camera lens is identified, using image processing module, as an image obstruction. Responsive to identifying the image obstruction, points of view of at least one camera lens are determined that provide image content portions of the image content that, in combination, yield a complete image of the image content without the image obstruction located within the image foreground. The image content portions are combined to yield the complete image of the image content without the image obstruction located within the foreground. The combined complete image is stored to a memory.

International Classification

U.S. Classification

235385

Abstract

A method of providing a kitchen inventory based on expiration of goods. A spreadsheet displays a kitchen inventory that includes item names corresponding to multiple currently stored goods. The inventory also includes multiple quantities, expiration dates, remaining time values corresponding to a difference between the expiration dates and a current date, and status values corresponding to the remaining time values. If the currently stored goods change, the spreadsheet updates one or more quantities and expiration dates. If a user requests a recipe, the spreadsheet searches a recipe database for one or more suggested recipes that include one or more of the stored goods having expiration dates in proximity to the current date and outputs one or more suggested recipes. If a user requests a shopping list, the spreadsheet generates a list that includes needed quantities of one or more ingredients in relation to the currently stored goods.

Abstract

Business processes are implemented using a collection component for storing system knowledge comprising usage history and user input relative to activities within community of users, where the system knowledge comprises at least a folksonomy. At least one of a user client component interacts with the data collection component to enable a corresponding user to contribute user-derived information to the folksonomy and a monitoring component monitors activities associated with the community of users and interacts with the data collection component to contribute usage information to the system knowledge. Still further, a composition design application interacts with a user to build and/or modify processes built using services, wherein the composition design application recommends candidate services that can implement aspects of the business processes based upon information derived from the system knowledge.
