An adaptive interface for a programmable system, for predicting a desired user function, based on user history, as well as machine internal status and context. The apparatus receives an input from the user and other data. A predicted input is presented for confirmation by the user, and the predictive mechanism is updated based on this feedback. Also provided is a pattern recognition system for a multimedia device, wherein a user input is matched to a video stream on a conceptual basis, allowing inexact programming of a multimedia device. The system analyzes a data stream for correspondence with a data pattern for processing and storage. The data stream is subjected to adaptive pattern recognition to extract features of interest to provide a highly compressed representation that may be efficiently processed to determine correspondence. Applications of the interface and system include a video cassette recorder (VCR), medical device, vehicle control system, audio device, environmental control system, securities trading terminal, and smart house. The system optionally includes an actuator for effecting the environment of operation, allowing closed-loop feedback operation and automated learning.

In a system facilitating the calibration of a map-point grid for an indoor location determination, the grid includes several map points, each having a radio frequency (RF) data fingerprint being associated therewith. At least one of: (i) RF signal data from several RF sources, (ii) a user specified location indication, and (ii) tracking data from a sensor, the tracking data indicating a user's movement relative to a base map point, are received. The map-point grid is updated based on, at least in part, at least one of (i) adjusted RF data, the received RF data being adjusted using systematic analysis thereof, (ii) the tracking data, and (iii) the location indication. A user's location may be determined based on the fingerprints associated with the map-point grid, and sensor data.

An automated correspondence response system is provide for permitting a receiving entity to generate customized responses based on data extracted from received communications. The system also provides for automated management and manipulation of data extracted from correspondence received by a receiving entity for group profiling and to perform various statistical analysis thereof.The system analyzes content of received correspondence, such as celebrity fan mail, and manages the automation of responses via targeted or “customized” letters, wherein the receiving entity creates content specific fields or terms in order to respond to correspondence in an automated and yet relevant manner. The receiving entity can electronically define what data is extracted from the correspondence. A particular “customized” response to the correspondence may be electronically selected from a plurality of possible responses based on the data extracted from the sender's correspondence so that the receiving entity can effectively respond to the sender. The “customized” automated response can also be “personalized” by including sender specific data in the “customized” automated response.

A method and system for discovering and testing security assets is provided. Based on source definition data describing sources to monitor on the one or more computer networks, an example system scans the sources to identify security assets. The system analyses the security assets to identify characteristics of the server-based applications. The system stores database records describing the security assets and the identified characteristics. The system queries the database records to select, based at least on the identified characteristics, one or more target assets, from the security assets, on which to conduct one or more security tests. Responsive to selecting the one or more target assets, the system conducts the one or more security tests on the one or more target assets. The system identifies one or more security vulnerabilities at the one or more target assets based on the conducted one or more security tests.
