A method and an apparatus are disclosed for scoring the quality of sleep experienced by a subject wearing the apparatus for a specified period. This sleep monitoring apparatus includes a motion sensor that quantifies the temporal variation in the subject's motion, an analog to digital converter to sample the sensor data, a microprocessor with embedded programmable memory to store control and processing firmware, a memory device for data storage, a display means, and a switch for staring and resetting the device. The firmware for this apparatus: (i) directs the microprocessor to sample sensor output at a prescribed time interval and to temporarily store this data in the memory device, (ii) directs the microprocessor to analyze the temporarily stored data to compute a sleep score based on the magnitude of movements recorded during the monitoring period, and (iii) controls the operation of the display means. Upon termination of the sleep period, the apparatus' display means will display a sleep score based on a scale of 0 to 100. A high score indicates restful sleep (very low movements), while a low score indicates excessive restlessness during the monitored sleep period.

A software and / or hardware facility for scoring the quality of traffic to a site accessible via the Internet or other network. The facility extracts data from one or more data logs that are obtained from a publisher, advertiser, or third party. A multi-factor analysis in the form of a rule set is applied by the facility to the data. The analysis of the data identifies agent actions that are desirable to a publisher, advertiser, or third party. The facility generates a relative score for each agent action. The score may be used to assess the quality of traffic received by a network site. Lower scores are indicative of traffic having little value, whereas higher scores are indicative of traffic having greater value. The score may be provided to an advertising network and used to charge a variable amount for advertisements based on the quality of traffic that the advertisements receive.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a game machine and information storage medium that make it possible to encourage players who have selected multi-player mode to continue playing. The maximum number of game stages that can be cleared by players in multi-player mode is set to be greater than the maximum number of game stages that can be cleared by a player in single-player mode. In single-player mode, the game is over at the point at which each course is cleared. In multi-player mode, a continuation privilege in the next course (a course that is more difficult) is granted when the current course is cleared. The privilege to continue playing the next course is granted to the player with the higher score, and is also given at a certain probability to the player with the lower score. The player who was not granted the play continuation privilege is allowed to continue playing on condition that a coin is paid, and also an encouragement screen is displayed to induce this payment for play continuation.

System and method for graphical user authentication using compact collages of regions of images. Image corpus is constructed by selecting similar quality images and filtering to further homogenize image quality. Regions are detected within the images and scored according to similarity and neighborhood information. Regions with lower scores provide less information about other regions and are more secure secrets. During enrollment, user selects secret images; decoy images are chosen by the system accordingly. Regions from secret images are selected as secrets according to the scoring of regions and regions from decoy images are selected as decoys. A collage is formed with secrets and decoys. Compact rendering enhances security and is suitable for small displays of mobile devices. Several rounds of challenge, requiring identification of secrets, are presented to the user. User is authenticated if a certain number of correct identifications of secrets within a number of rounds are achieved.

Legacy documents of an enterprise are scanned and analyzed to determine best practices and rules for each category. Clauses and groups of clauses are assigned scores for relative value. Each category of documents has a profile of the clauses and groups of clauses which establish a norm against which proposed new documents may be scored. A document is analyzed for clauses and groups of clauses. A score is determined for each document to measure its fit with a document category. An absence of an expected clause within group of clauses results in a lower score. An absence of a group of expected clauses results in an even lower score. A high score reflects that a document is substantially standard with its category.

The invention embodies the systems, processes and methods that collectively administrate and deliver to players a multi-player game in which the players solve a word puzzle and compete against other players for how easily and quickly they solve the puzzle.The game is presented to the players as a matrix of interlocking blank boxes and a list of words or phrases (keys). The keys fit into the matrix in some predetermined fashion. The player must determine the correct orientation of the keys on the puzzle in order to finish the game. Through trial and error the player places the keys into the boxes until the player finds an orientation that fits the puzzle. The player's score is the elapsed time it takes to solve the puzzle adjusted for any clues that are provided. The winner of the game is the player with the lowest score.The game can be used in a variety of advertising and promotional contexts and also can support on-line gaming for prizes.The advertising applications of the game are compelling because the words of the keys in the game can be selected such that they reinforce a marketing message. Businesses can customize games and offer prizes to the winner. The players repetitively manipulate the keys while playing the game and, in so doing, the players become more familiarized with the intended marketing message.The features of the game overcome several of the challenges to on-line competitive gaming by providing a quick, fair, skills-based game that is neither gambling, lottery or sweepstakes and is relatively impervious to cheating.
