Title: Dynamic promotional layout management and distribution rules

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable products are provided for enabling dynamic loading of one or more digital image branding functions associated with one or more distribution rules. A distribution rule is used to target a group of end users that are selected from a dataset mapping a plurality of end-users according to one or more distribution rules. Instructions are forwarded to present an indication the digital image branding function to each member of the end users group.

Refer to: Sanderling Management - US 9,355,412 (Image Processing Application) and Litigation Background (Deadline: September 30, 2020)

Refer to: Pseudo Claim Charts Prepared by Apex Standards for other PATROLL Contests

Disclaimer: The promise of Apex Standards Pseudo Claim Charting (PCC) [ Request Form ] is not to replace expert opinion but to provide due diligence and transparency prior to high precision charting. PCC conducts aggressive mapping (based on Broadest Reasonable, Ordinary or Customary Interpretation and Multilingual Translation) between a target patent's claim elements and other documents (potential technical standard specification or prior arts in the same or across different jurisdictions), therefore allowing for a top-down, apriori evaluation, with which, stakeholders can assess standard essentiality (potential strengths) or invalidity (potential weaknesses) quickly and effectively before making complex, high-value decisions. PCC is designed to relieve initial burden of proof via an exhaustive listing of contextual semantic mapping as potential building blocks towards a litigation-ready work product. Stakeholders may then use the mapping to modify upon shortlisted PCC or identify other relevant materials in order to formulate strategy and achieve further purposes.

CLAIM 1
. A computerized method of distributing a digital image processing function (dynamic load) (dynamic load) , said computerized method comprising : using at least one server having at least one hardware processor and over a network to access a database storing at least one digital image processing function associated with at least one distribution rule defining a geographic location ;

receiving , over said network , a Global Positioning (World Wide Web) System (GPS) location indication from each of a plurality of mobile devices , each said location indication is determined according to a GPS module executed by one of said plurality of mobile devices ;

matching , using said at least one at least one hardware processor , each said GPS location indication with said geographic location ;

and automatically forwarding , over said network and in response to receiving said Global Positioning System (GPS) location indication , said at least one digital image processing function to at least one mobile device of said plurality of mobile devices , said at least one mobile device having a respective said GPS location indication which matches said geographic location ;

wherein said at least one image processing function is set to be used by an application executed on said at least one mobile device to process a digital image designated at said at least one mobile device to create an output digital image .
Process Migration . Process migration is the act of transferring a process between two machines , It enables dynamic load (digital image processing function, image processing function) distribution , fault resilience , eased system administration , and data access locality . Despite these goals and ongoing research efforts , migration has not achieved widespread use . With the increasing deployment of distributed systems in general , and distributed operating systems in particular , process migration is again receiving more attention in both research and product development . As high-performance facilities shift from supercomputers to networks of workstations , and with the ever-increasing role of the World Wide Web (Global Positioning, Global Positioning System) , we expect migration to play a more important role and eventually to be widely adopted . This survey reviews the field of process migration by summarizing the key concepts and giving an overview of the most important implementations . Design and implementation issues of process migration are analyzed in general , and then revisited for each of the case studies described : MOSIX , Sprite , Mach , and Load Sharing Facility . The benefits and drawbacks of process migration depend on the details of implementation and , therefore , this paper focuses on practical matters . This survey will help in understanding the potentials of process migration and why it has not caught on .

As high-performance facilities shift from supercomputers to networks of workstations , and with the ever-increasing role of the World Wide Web , we expect migration to play a more important role and eventually to be widely adopted . This survey reviews the field of process migration by summarizing the key concepts and giving an overview of the most important implementations . Design and implementation issues of process migration are analyzed in general , and then revisited for each of the case studies described : MOSIX , Sprite , Mach , and Load Sharing Facility . The benefits and drawbacks of process migration depend on the details of implementation and , therefore , this paper focuses on practical matters . This survey will help in understanding the potentials of process migration and why it has not caught on .

Migratory Applications .
