- U.S. patent granted for Analysis, Inference and
Visualization of Social Networks.
TORONTO,
Oct. 21, 2014 /CNW/ - Sprylogics
International Corp. ("Sprylogics" or the "Company") (TSXV:
SPY), a technology provider of local mobile search and
messaging solutions for consumers and businesses is pleased to
announce that it has bolstered its Patent Portfolio with the recent
grant of a new patent in the United
States for a "Analysis, Inference and Visualization of
Social Networks."
United States Patent No. 8,862,622 was granted on
October 14, 2014, and it is described
as follows:
A method and system for automated generation
of social networks. A graphical user interface receives a user
query for an entity of interest, and outputs a graphical network
showing entities and associations related to the entity of
interest. A search engine interface transmits the query to a search
engine, and receives references to documents. A named entity
extractor downloads a selection of the documents, and generates a
list of named entities referenced in the downloaded documents. A
network inference module receives each list of named entities, and
generates associations between the named entities in each list. An
entity matcher operates on the associations to consolidate them in
instances wherein differently named entities are determined to be
the same named entity, and provides a consolidated list of named
entities and associations to the user interface for display as a
graphical network.
"This US patent once again strengthens our IP
portfolio particularly in the United
States and demonstrates the technical and innovative
successes of our development team", said Marvin Igelman, CEO of Sprylogics.
That brings the number of patents granted to the
Company to thirteen, some of which are granted in multiple
jurisdictions.
