Information missing from a database record is automatically identified and retrieved. In an embodiment, after the record is initially populated, a status such as complete, incomplete, missing, or verify is assigned to each field in the record. A request for information associated with the status is automatically generated, for instance asking a client to provide missing information or verify existing information. The request is transmitted to the client and solicits the client's response in any of a number of ways, for instance by email, phone, fax, or mail. The information is used to automatically update the record.

Systems and methods automate data entry and processing. Data is automatically entered into a system by reading a user identification card. The data can be supplemented with additional information, if necessary, and processed by the system. In one embodiment, the data is used to register an employee for an employee benefit program offered by a provider such as an insurance carrier. The data read from the identification card is automatically entered into an electronic enrollment form where the user can check it. Documentation corresponding to the enrollment form can be converted to an electronic copy, if necessary, and attached to the enrollment form. Once the enrollment form is complete, the user can electronically sign the enrollment form and send it through a computer network to the provider. The provider may then process the enrollment form, request additional information or corrections from the user, and register the user for the products or services.

A patient-centric system and method for accessing personal health records of a patient, stored in relational databases and containing comprehensive records of multiple patients with each patient's records incorporating many different data categories and functions including manual or automated data exchange, consolidation, storage, routing and transmission, consistent with consent directives assigned to authorized users and computer systems of authorized users by the patient or designated representative thereof. The consent directives define privileges of access in each of said data categories and functions within the patients records. The patients records are stored in relational databases hosted by Web servers on a computer network through which the authorized users interact under the control of programming logic consistent with the consent directives assigned by the patient or designated representative thereof.

A method of notifying a mobile station regarding data usage with a plan limit includes tracking an amount of data usage consumed by the mobile station. A first data usage limit and a first data usage time frame are determined from a user account. A comparison is made of the data usage to the first data usage limit and a present time to the first data usage time frame. From this comparison, a projected data usage amount is determined and whether the projected data usage exceeds the first data usage limit. If exceeded, the system analyzes a second data usage limit to determine if it is greater than the projected data usage amount. If greater, the server provides a message to the mobile station notifying the user of the projected overage and suggestions to change to a new plan offering the second data usage limit.

A method for facilitating efficient automated acquisition of data from computer-based network data sources, such as Internet websites, by means of one or more data aggregation servers and a distributed network of one or more client computers (each operated by and/or on behalf of one or more end users), that does not trigger "trespass on chattels" protection, violate copyright protection of database compilations of non-copyright data or allow data sources to easily detect automated data acquisition. In a specific embodiment, each user runs a java applet within their Internet browser that frequently polls a server connected to a database storing the user's preferences. Based on the user's preferences and other data stored in the database, the server generates requests (each to be issued by the client machine to a particular website) and tells the user's applet to issue those requests. Response(s) (or a processed version of those responses) returned to the server may be used by the client machine and/or returned to the server where they may be parsed, stored in the database, made available to the user (and, potentially, other users) and may trigger the server to generate follow-on requests. This method has many potential uses, including, but certainly not limited to, the aggregation of real estate data from numerous websites for homebuyers.

An approach for supporting automated fault isolation is provided. An alarm is received indicating a fault within a customer network that includes one or more network elements. The customer network being monitored by a service provider. A script is retrieved for specifying a dialogue with the network elements for data collection. A command is transmitted to the customer network according to the one script to obtain data from the network elements, wherein the data is utilized to determine the fault. Further, a workflow event corresponding to the alarm is generated, wherein resolution of the fault is automated according to the workflow event.

A system and method for creating links between first records stored on a database and references to the first records within a second record, the system including a data reference list including keywords or phrases which may be used in the second record to reference the first records, the system also including address formats corresponding to each data reference which indicate the form of a first record address corresponding to the data reference, the system also including record rule sets for gleaning information from the second record for populating the address format, when a data reference is identified, the system identifying the corresponding address format, gleaning address information from the second record, forming the record address and linking the first record reference to the first record via the record address.

The present invention includes a system and method for automatically extracting the demographic information from images. The system detects the face in an image, locates different components, extracts component features, and then classifies the components to identify the age, gender, or ethnicity of the person(s) in the image. Using components for demographic classification gives better results as compared to currently known techniques. Moreover, the described system and technique can be used to extract demographic information in more robust manner than currently known methods, in environments where high degree of variability in size, shape, color, texture, pose, and occlusion exists. This invention also performs classifier fusion using Data Level fusion and Multi-level classification for fusing results of various component demographic classifiers. Besides use as an automated data collection system wherein given the necessary facial information as the data, the demographic category of the person is determined automatically, the system could also be used for targeting of the advertisements, surveillance, human computer interaction, security enhancements, immersive computer games and improving user interfaces based on demographic information.
