A method and system for customer service and support integrated with social networks includes an Internet available server application where consumers and providers can create their profiles, integrate their profiles with existing social network profiles, and collaborate with each other on resolving consumer issues using a workflow engine supported with a rule engine. Consumers may be organized into consumer groups and into federations of consumer groups. Consumer issues may be voted on thereby raising the significance of an issue and / or building a provider's reputation based in part on resolved issues, issue votes, and by reviews and comments. Consumers manage their profiles. Provider profiles are predominately affected by resolved / unresolved issues or positive / negative reviews. Notifications are handled automatically based on configured workflow and rule engine and utilize internal messaging system, emails, SMS and other available social network services (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.).

A programmable food storage container and behavior modification assistant, having an automatically closing and locking lid / door, and a programmable lock mechanism able to accept and store multiple defined sequential periods of inaccessibility of variable duration and frequency, and multiple defined periods of accessibility of variable duration and frequency. Use of the device mandates compliance with, and reinforcement of behavior consistent with, the user's desire to develop and adhere to a pattern of controlled and limited consumption of any products stored within the container. Addressing the problem left unsolved in the prior art (i.e., the inability of some consumers to resist impulses to consume, and the finite and consumable capacity of people to resist temptation), the device eliminates temptations regarding its contents, and thus eliminates wasteful consumption of the consumer's finite supply of willpower, or capacity to successfully resist an impulse to consume.

The invention also allows users (300) to communicate confidentially or nonconfidentially unsolved problems or needs globally to potential originators, for originators conveniently to search for relevant unsolved problems or needs (100b) and for originators to submit and communicate confidentially proposed solutions (130b) to the soliciting user.

This invention discloses a method for enhancing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as Global Positioning System (GPS), location calculation by supplying carrier phase corrections within a GNSS receiver used with a multiple element Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) receiver. GNSS carrier phase measurements should be compensated for receiver hardware and directionally dependent antenna errors to obtain desired accuracies for high precision GNSS positioning applications. One technique successfully employed in Fixed Reception Pattern Antenna (FRPA) GPS sensors applies a simple directionally dependent set of correction factors to the measurement outputs. For the complex case of a GNSS receiver employing a CRPA and dynamic beam steering, however, the multiplicity of combinations of antenna element outputs makes the FRPA compensation technique impractical. Compensation of carrier phase measurements is a problem not addressed in previous GPS CRPA beam steering sensors.

The likelihood of a problem report being escalated to a critical status in a customer service environment is predicted by receiving historical Problem Management Records for which associated problems have been resolved and final criticality statuses have been determined, analyzing the historical Problem Management Records using at least one trainable data mining process to produce a prediction output for each historical Problem Management Record, validating the prediction output against the final criticality statuses, training the data mining process according to the validation, and, subsequently, analyzing an unresolved Problem Management Record by the trained analysis module to produce a prediction indicator and a confidence indicator for unresolved Problem Management Record to be re-classified as critical status. The unresolved Problem Management Record is escalated to critical status level responsive to the prediction indicator and the confidence indicator exceeding a predetermined threshold.

The current options for wireless communication have changed the way people work and the way in which networks can be deployed. However, there remains unresolved problems in the setup and configuration of wireless communication links. Both known cellular and ad hoc wireless networking protocols and systems are deficient in that the ability for users to communicate without a priori knowledge of MAC addresses (represented by phone numbers, IP addresses and the like) is limited or may be compromised in a hostile environment. In contrast, provided by aspects of the present invention are devices, systems and methods for establishing ad hoc wireless communication between users that do not necessarily have MAC addresses and the like for one another. In some embodiments, a first user visually selects a second user and points a coherent light beam at an electronic device employed by the second user. Data specific to the first user is modulated on the coherent light beam, which can then be demodulated when the coherent light beam is received by the electronic device of the second user.
