Sprylogics Granted Social Networks Patent
- 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.
