Methods and systems are disclosed herein to provide real-time shadowing service architectures and workflows to support dynamic event pattern parameter configuration, collection, filtering, learning, and profiling for users of one or more interactive platforms. The real-time shadowing service may receive a subset of application specific tags, generate tag values for the tags in the subset based on user behavior, and report the values for the tags in the subset. Further, the real-time shadowing service may collect data based on a list of tags for an engagement level related parameter vector (E.V.) and a competence level related parameter vector (C.V.). Further, the real-time shadowing service may map E.V. and C.V. for an event of interest (EoI) to an engagement level (E.L.) and competence level (C.L.) based on a model. The real-time shadowing service may also generate alerts based on detection rules, E.L. and C.L., and transmit the alerts.

A method of detecting attempts by online sellers to sell counterfeit goods on the internet, or to sell goods which they are not authorised to sell, is described. The user of a browser-enabled device when viewing a target website can determine whether the target website content is authorised or not. The browser may have a plug-in which allows the user to capture data from a target website, and send the data to a secure server which has access to or which stores data from the legitimate content owner or user. The data is then analysed to determine whether its use on the target website is authorised or legitimate, or not, and a warning or clearance message can then be sent from the secure server to the browser-enabled device to display that message to the user.

A method is described in which a topic similarity score, a product similarity score and an operating system similarity score between an original post and each one of a plurality of previous posts are determined; an overall similarity score of the each one of the plurality of previous posts based on the topic similarity score, the product similarity score and the operating system similarity score is determined; and a recommendation of a top K number of the plurality of previous posts based on the overall similarity score of the each one of the plurality of previous posts is sent to a display device.

A method or a system, automatically and electronically ensures that customer pays for all goods picked up and the customer takes out of the shop only goods paid for. All this is done without the need of a shop teller and finally without the need of a shop supervisor to periodically crosscheck and ensure that the total amount of money collected by the shop teller (within a period) equals the total value of goods disbursed. The resultant of this system are the shop runs can run a totally cashless shop; reduce human resource by a significant percentage; shop can be opened 24/7; no more queues at shop teller points even during peak periods or major sales.

A method of displaying secondary content is disclosed. The method receives historical behavior data and a search query for a user. The method extracts behavior features from the user's historical behavior and scores the user based on the behavioral features to create a user score specific to secondary content. The method uses the user score to display user specific secondary content to the user.

A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code, includes detecting one of an absence of a virtual universe (VU) occurrence in a VU within a predetermined time period, a special event in the VU and a change of real world status from a previous real world status. Additionally, the method includes determining a VU asset of a VU resident relevant to the VU occurrence, the special event or the previous real world status. Further, the method includes performing an automated asset reduction of the VU asset based on the determining.

A method for authenticating a check of a plurality of checks where the check was previously issued from a first party to a second party, including receiving first information from the first party, storing the first information in a file of a third party and receiving the check. The check has first party identifying information, a unique pseudorandom number of a pseudorandom sequence, and an amount. A status of activating the plurality of checks is determined. At least a portion of the first party identifying information included with the check, the unique pseudorandom number included with the check and the check amount included with the check are authenticated. The received check is authenticated if the first party, the unique pseudorandom number included with the check and the amount included with the check are authenticated and if the plurality of checks have been activated.

A recording system has a listener processor for automatically capturing events involving computer applications during a dialogue involving the user of the computer. The system generates a visual transcript of events on a timeline. It automatically detects start of a dialogue and proceeds to detect events and determines if they are configured as transcript events, before detecting end of the dialogue. The system may associate dialogue events with audio clips, using meta tags.

A virtual quality control system and a method for virtual quality control of an automated medication fulfillment process are disclosed herein. In one aspect, the disclosure provides a virtual quality control system. In one embodiment, the virtual quality control system includes: (1) a verification controller configured to receive visual verification data and identification data of a verification event and generate comparison data from the identification data, and (2) a verification station configured to send a verification status to the verification controller based on the comparison data, the visual verification data, and input from a verifier.
