Abstract:
A method is provided for generating associations between a user profile and a wireless device. The method comprises storing information about a location of a first wireless device associated with a first user profile and storing information about a location of a second of wireless device associated with a second user profile. The method also comprises determining the second wireless device is substantially collocated with the first wireless device based on the information about location of the first wireless device and the information about the location of the second wireless device. The method also comprises generating an association between the first user profile and the second wireless device based on the determining and displaying on a screen of the second wireless device a content selected based on the first user profile.

Systems and methods are provided for mobile device advertising. The system includes a mobile device, a content provider, and an advertisement provider. A plurality of location fix technologies is executed to determine a plurality of location fixes for the mobile device, and the plurality of location fixes is stored in the mobile device. A location request is received for the mobile device, the plurality of stored location fixes is retrieved from the mobile device, and the plurality of stored location fixes is sent to the content provider. The content provider receives the plurality of location fixes for the mobile device from the mobile device, forwards the plurality of location fixes to the advertisement provider, and transmits content to the mobile device. The advertisement provider selects an advertisement based on location fixes, and transmits the advertisement to the mobile device.
Abstract:
A system for improving resource utilization across a cluster of interconnected symmetric multiprocessor (“SMP”) servers is provided. The system includes single system image (“SSI”) software that represents the cluster of SMP servers as a single virtual SMP server and virtualization software that partitions the virtual SMP server into virtual servers. The system may also include virtual infrastructure management software that is used to partition the virtual SMP server into the virtual servers. A method for using SMP servers is further provided. The method includes representing the SMP servers as a virtual SMP server and partitioning the virtual SMP server into virtual servers. The method may also include allocating and reallocating processes across the physical SMP servers.

Abstract:
A system for managing software failover on a bladed server is provided. The system includes a plurality of bladed servers, including a first bladed server and a second failover bladed server. The system includes a server control, a storage device, and software. The server control is in communication with the plurality of bladed servers, and the storage device is accessible by the plurality of bladed servers. The software is stored on the storage device. The system also includes a management component that is operable on the server control. The management component monitors execution of the software on the first bladed server. The management component is operable in response to detecting failure of the software on the first bladed server to promote execution of the software from the external storage device by the second failover bladed server. A method for automated software failover is also provided.
Abstract:
A service access architecture to enable customer access to telecommunications provider services is provided. The service access architecture includes a service layer providing a standard interface for communication with customer applications to access network systems and data systems of the telecommunications provider. The service access architecture also includes a device/data layer maintaining the network systems and data systems of the telecommunications provider. The service access architecture includes an adaptation layer coupled to communicate, via at least one broker of the adaptation layer, with the service layer and to communicate, via at least one adapter of the adaptation layer, with the device/data layer, the adaptation layer operable to interface between the service layer and the device/data layer. A method is also provided for a customer of a telecommunications provider to gain access to the telecommunications provider's services and applications using a customer application.
Abstract:
Generally, an illustrative system for optimizing an advertising campaign on a mobile device includes a graphic user interface for accessing by at least one of a carrier and an advertiser, a data store, a campaign delivery engine for delivering advertisements into content provider spots and recording events into the data store, and an optimization engine. The optimization engine can support the graphic user interface and analyze one or more campaign events each linked with corresponding subscriber demographic data obtained from the data store for adjusting the advertising campaign during its run. The illustrative system can also support one or more methods disclosed herein.
Abstract:
A system is provided for migration of an application between processing servers in a virtual server. The system includes a first processing server, a second processing server, at least one disk for storage, at least one network interface, a control server and an agent. The control server is operable to combine the first processing server with the network interface and disk into the virtual server to operate an application. The agent is coupled to the control server to promote capture from the first processing server of application state information related to execution of the application by the first processing server. The agent further promotes transfer of at least some of the captured application state information to the second processing server to enable the second processing server to execute the application using the at least some of the captured application state information.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to a media or communication network or platform that facilitates communication via one or more media or communication channels. Moreover, the disclosed embodiments allow one or more third-party content sources to determine how their content is transmitted or conveyed, when their content is transmitted or conveyed, and/or which channels should be used to transmit or convey their content. One or more third-party content sources may, for instance, target one or more specific channels based on, for example, the one or more channel operators, the audience of the one or more channels, or the like. This allows one or more third-party content sources to leverage their content against channel operators or content from other third-party content sources. One or more third-party content sources may, for example, bid against other third-party content sources for the ability to transmit or convey their content via the one or more channels.
