This invention addresses environmental social and commercial uses and includes a monitoring system which is a network of on, in, out and off-board devices working together with people through software and interfaces to provide services and make accountable humanity's machines and their actions through safe secure communication. Control devices are used to provide accountability for their socio-economic and environmental impact. Along with these systems networked together, additional devices and variations needed to complete these operations nationally and world wide are also provided. Unique ways interface a network of separate devices or IC circuits to create an interactive secure control system or center that can be remotely controlled. A control device for society to fairly and accurately monitor and control the impact of equipment use on the world environment, and a nation's infrastructure while developing commercial companies to fulfill these needs and services for the equipment and the people who own and operate them for today and into the future are also provided. A set of secure devices and systems are also included to analyze society and machine interaction.

The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate extraction of information from a large unstructured corpora such as from the World Wide Web and/or other unstructured sources. Information in the form of answers to questions can be automatically composed from such sources via probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide resource-intensive information-extraction procedures employed by a knowledge-based question answering system. The analyses can leverage predictions of the ultimate quality of answers generated by the system provided by Bayesian or other statistical models. Such predictions, when coupled with a utility model can provide the system with the ability to make decisions about the number of queries issued to a search engine (or engines), given the cost of queries and the expected value of query results in refining an ultimate answer. Given a preference model, information extraction actions can be taken with the highest expected utility. In this manner, the accuracy of answers to questions can be balanced with the cost of information extraction and analysis to compose the answers.

The invention discloses a method and a device capable of realizing dynamic expansion of a WEB (World Wide Web) application resource. The method comprises the following steps of S1, building a virtual management cloud platform which can manage a plurality of physical servers; S2, building a virtual machine and mounting a load balancing server; S3, building a virtual machine and mounting WEB application servers; S4, allocating a load balancing server route on the WEB application servers; S5, dynamically expanding the number of the WEB application servers according to the answer number of a user request by the load balancing server. By the method and the device, when user visits are increased sharply, the number of virtual servers is dynamically and automatically expanded, and when the user visits are reduced, the number of virtual servers is reduced, so that dynamic expansion and effective utilization of the resource are realized.

A process in a computer managed communication network such as the World Wide Web with user access via a plurality of data processor controlled interactive display stations and with a system for displaying documents, e.g. Web pages, transmitted to said display stations from locations remote from said stations which provides the user with a system for the prioritizing of documents presented on constrained receiving stations to users of the Internet in an order personalized to each user's needs and interests which have been heuristically determined based upon the user's past access to such documents through standard desktop interfaces. The user is enabled to interface with the received documents at receiving stations through devices which have greater interface functional constraints than a standard desktop display interface through a process comprising first presenting a plurality of types of received documents to a selected user through a device having a standard desktop display interface, then tracking the interactive activity of said selected user to said plurality of types of received documents and determining the priority of said types of received documents based upon said tracking, and presenting received documents of said plurality of types to said selected user through said devices having greater interface functional constraints in an order based upon said priority. The receiving devices with interfaces having functional constraints may be audible only interface devices, and displays of lesser dimensions or lower resolution than standard desktop displays. The network may be the Internet or World Wide Web. The documents involved may be electronic mail.

Methods and apparatus for performing intelligent crawling are provided. Particularly, the intelligent crawling techniques of the invention provide a crawler mechanism which is capable of learning as it crawls in order to focus the search for documents on the information network being explored, e.g., world wide web. This crawler mechanism stores information about the crawled documents as it retrieves the documents, and then uses the information to further focus its search appropriately. The inventive techniques result in the crawling of a small percentage of the documents on the world wide web.

An apparatus for and method of utilizing an Internet terminal coupled to the world wide web to interface with an existing proprietary data base management system by permitting a developer to create a web based service that produces a table result. This result can be rendered to the web either by a Cool ICE Script or by an Active Server Page. The table may appear either as an HTML table or a graph. The service is defined as a plurality of ordered, discreet, and independent steps. Each step may be created and/or edited independently of all other steps. To assist the service developer, the system presents a choice of available steps to be added into the sequence at any particular point. The only steps so presented are valid for the position within the sequence. Invalid steps are not presented.

Systems and methods for a media content system. A media content provider includes storage for storing and serving video content to subscribers. The media content provider records and or otherwise stores video content from around the world. Subscribers are provided a user interface that provides context sensitive hints to assist the viewer. The system further enables viewers skip, view, and interact with advertisements.

The invention discloses a real-time many persons online Olympic math test and study system, the system includes Olympic math test platform, Olympic math categorical subject base, world math speech converter, self-creating subject base system, cartoon answering and analysis discussion, with internet and real-time Olympic math server, the random online self-test and study or transnational competition can be achieved randomly, the spirit of boundary less Olympic competition can be achieved. In general Olympic math study system, the subject mode can be summaried according to different subject, degree and history subject base, however, in the real-time many persons online system, you can compete with math master-hands all over the world by real-time Olympic math server. The study and test effect of individual user can be known, but also the experience learned can be used in the competition mode, it provides a new mode for Olympic competition and study.
