A method and system for the determination of optimal pricing and allocation of securities in an open, competitive environment. The method and system may also be used in developing pre-markets of other items that are difficult to price and allocate in a competitive manner, such as the underwriting/securitization of contracts for property; future revenue/earning streams from an asset and/or group of assets; underwritten insurance portfolios, intellectual property and other goods and services. The system of price optimization and allocation is accomplished by interactive feedback of information using a display and including competitive participation of individual members of the public (and/or their agents) or institutional buyers over a data network e.g., the Internet, uncovering the nature and identification of demand in a self-organizing fashion. Demand emerges through participants' interaction with the system and with each other, via a graphically-supported, interactive reservation process.

Methods and systems for enabling and supporting patient compliance with a health treatment program or with health-related instructions from a caregiver are described. An interactive feedback loop is implemented that enhances and improves on present methods of monitoring and supporting patient compliance with treatment programs, particularly for patients with chronic conditions. A patient enters various types of data (e.g., biometric readings, diary entries, responses to surveys and health assessments, etc.) to a health data management system that includes a patient compliance monitoring system. The patient is encouraged to enter as much data as is practical and as frequently as possible. The feedback loop of the present invention provides compliance messages to the patient in a timely manner that are responsive to the data entered by the patient. The messages are customized, supportive, and timely. The system can also implement a reward scheme in which patients who go beyond their prescribed treatment program or consistently stay within a compliance range obtain direct financial benefits or rewards. The system also allows patients to sends feedback on the messages he or she receives from the system. This feedback can be used to measure the effectiveness of a treatment program or of the monitoring system itself. Healthcare professionals play an active role in tailoring and “signing off” the compliance-related messages that the patient receives.

A novel and useful mechanism for the skinning of 3D meshes with reference to a skeleton utilizing statistical weight optimization techniques. The mechanism of the present invention comprises (1) an efficient high quality linear blend skinning (LBS) technique based on a set of skeleton deformations sampled from the manipulation space; (2) a joint placement algorithm to optimize the input skeleton; and (3) a set of tools for a user to interactively control the skinning process. Statistical skinning weight maps are computed using an as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) optimization. The method operates with a coarsely placed initial skeleton and optimizes joint placements to improve the skeleton's alignment. Bones may also be parameterized incorporating twists, bends, stretches and spines. Several easy to use tools add additional constraints to resolve ambiguous situations when needed and interactive feedback is provided to aid users. Quality weight maps are generated for challenging deformations and various data types (e.g., triangle, tetrahedral meshes), including noisy, complex and topologically challenging examples (e.g., missing triangles, open boundaries, self-intersections, or wire edges).

A system and method for managing relationships in a social network with independent multi-dimensional groupings, individualized privileges & interactive feedback. The contributing member can assign a privilege level from a sliding scale of at least three levels for each item of information, represented as C₁, C₂, C₃, . . . C_N. The contributing member then grants direct privilege levels as they make new friends or grants indirect privilege levels when they join groups or networks. When a requesting user (T) wishes to see contributed information, their privilege level (L) with respect to the contributing member is accessed. The system retrieves all items of information (C), and selectively displays those items of information which have been assigned a privilege level C₁, C₂, C₃, . . . C_N matching or less than the privilege level granted to the requesting member T_L. A contributing member can also chose to allow ‘friends of friends’ to inherit the privilege level assigned to them by their friends so that ‘friends of friends’ can be granted access to their private information despite the lack of direct connection.

Multiple camera angles of an interactive event are simultaneously transmitted as part of a broadcast. The simultaneous distribution of multiple synchronized streams of audio and/or visual information enables switching between cameras to be made by the audience members without interruption of the presentation of the event. In one embodiment, a performance studio might send out multiple synchronized concurrent streams. For example, a performance studio might transmit four distinct camera angles or streams, each at varying quality levels, such as the illustrated high-bandwidth and low-bandwidth encodings. Selection of the stream may also direct interactive feedback portions generated by the selecting audience member towards the selected object/individual. Alternatively, interactive feedback generated by the audience member may be directed globally to the producers of the event and selectively to the performers and other audience members of the event.
