摘要:
A proximity matching system may use broadcast wireless identifiers transmitted by users' devices to match users with other nearby users. The identifiers may be collected by a plurality of agents, then the identifiers may be matched with pre-defined profiles to generate physically proximate users by a remote service. The group of proximate users may be provided to various applications and consumed with summarized properties or individual properties, depending on the approved privacy settings as selected by the users. In some embodiments, the broadcast wireless identifiers may be personal area network identifiers, local area network identifiers, cellular network identifiers, or other broadcast identifier. In some embodiments, the agents may not establish a peer to peer or other connection with the broadcasting device. The agents may be fixed or mobile agents, and the proximity of users may be generated through links between nearby agents in a meshed fashion.
摘要:
A method of presenting information on a display monitor within a computing environment includes accessing a website containing a related collection of electronic pages, crawling the website to obtain raw image data for at least some of each of the pages, porting the raw image data into a template so that each of the crawled pages is converted into a corresponding information panel containing a mapping of the content of its respective corresponding page, and displaying each of the information panels on a respective display monitor so all of the panels are viewable to a user in a single screen shot. Related methods, apparatus, and systems are further provided.
摘要:
A service provides an image collection as a visual preview of content pages having a link in or otherwise related to a current page. A first content page is provided to a user and may have one or more links to additional content pages. Each of the related content pages may have one or more images. Selected images of the one or more content pages are provided in an image collection. The images may be positioned in rows, columns, or some other manner within the collection. The image collection is prepared dynamically from related content pages when the current page is loaded and does not require any software in the currently content page to be changed as the linked content pages change.
摘要:
A requested content page is provided with additional relevant content that is dynamically generated. A page originally requested by a browser application is generated and examined to determine key words, address information, and other information for which relevant content may be retrieved. The other information may not be part of the original page content, but it can be the relation between the content page and other pages. The relevant content is determined based on the results of the content page examination. After retrieving the relevant content, the retrieved content is embedded into the requested content page and provided to the requesting user. The retrieved relevant content may be provided with the requested content page in a designated portion within the requested content page, near related content in the page, and/or displayed in response to user input as a pop-up window or in a preview pane. Relevant content can be determined, retrieved and embedded in a content page by a relevant content engine implemented as a server application, client application or browser application plug-in.
摘要:
A recommendation system may use a network of relationships between many different entities to find search results and establish a relevance value for the search results. The relevance value may be calculated by analyzing trust and similarity components of each relationship between the search user and the entity providing the search results. The entities may be, for example, persons associated within express or implied social networks, or corporations or other organizations with a historical or other reputation. The relationships may be created through many different contact mechanisms and may be unidirectional, asymmetric bidirectional, or symmetric bidirectional relationships. The relationships may be different based on topic or other factors.
摘要:
Systems, methods, and computer media for integrating requests for reserved allocations of advertisement impressions and requests for dynamic allocations of advertisement impressions are provided. A request is received from a first advertiser to purchase a reserved allocation of advertisement impressions. The request specifies a requested number of impressions that each have one or more requested attributes. One or more bids to dynamically purchase one or more impressions through a real-time bidding process are received from an external bidding agent. An internal bidding agent bids, on behalf of the first advertiser, to dynamically purchase one or more impressions through the real-time bidding process until the request from the first advertiser to purchase the reserved allocation of impressions is satisfied.
摘要:
A data storage medium may have data stored on one physical portion of the medium and error correction and recovery data stored on a second physical portion of the medium. In one embodiment, a write once, read many medium may be written with data and the remaining capacity of the medium may be filled with error correction and recovery data. If a portion of the main data is corrupted, the error correction and recovery data may be used to recreate the corrupted data. The error correction and recovery data may be created to fill the unused capacity of the medium by prioritizing and selectively backing up the data when the data use more than half of the medium's capacity, or may create one or more redundant copies of the data if the data consume less than half of the medium's capacity, for example.
摘要:
A ranked set of users may be calculated from an expertise categorization for each user and a person's trust in the users for specific categories. The ranked set of users may be used for presenting search results, recommendations, social marketing, or other uses. A person's expertise may be determined through various online activities. A person's trust in another person may be related to their proximity and activity in one or more social networks.

摘要:
Architecture that selects a classification engine based on the expertise of the engine to process a given entity (e.g., a file). Selection of an engine is based on a probability that the engine will detect an unknown entity classification using properties of the entity. One or more of the highest ranked engines are activated in order to achieve the desired performance. A statistical, performance-light module is employed to skip or select several performance-demanding processes. Methods and algorithms are utilized for learning based on matching the best classification engine(s) to detect the entity class based on the entity properties. A user selection option is provided for specifying a maximum number of ranked, classification engines to consider for each state of the machine. A user can also select the minimum probability of detection for a specific entity (e.g., unknown file). The best classifications are re-evaluated over time as the classification engines are updated.
