Abstract:
A server configured to provide media to devices remote from the server is configured to provide different media to different devices at substantially a same time. The is server configured to recognize a device that requests media. The server is configured to automatically set a resolution at which a media is provided to the device based on the recognition of the device.
Abstract:
A device simplifies uploading of images from a device to a network site (e.g. a website). The device or a remote server stores public upload information for one or more websites. The images are then formatted in accordance with the public upload data and/or personal configurations. The formatting may be directed, at least in part, to changing a format in which non-standard data is stored in an image file to be uploaded, such as location information. Information from an uploaded image file may be displayed directly, may be used in a mash-up, or may have some other use.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for buffering or delaying data packets to facilitate optimized distribution of content associated with the data packets are disclosed. Data packets sent from content providers may be received by a service provider, where information associated with the data packets may be identified. The identified information may be used to associate the data packets with an intended destination for the data packets and identify a type of the data packets, such as a video data packet. Video data packets (and other data packets) may be buffered or delayed such that more time-critical data packets may be accelerated into one or more QAM channels carrying the content. The delayed data packets may be time-sliced into the one or more QAM channels, which may displace empty slots or gaps that may waste bandwidth associated with the QAM channels.

Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed to techniques to automatically focus a digital camera. In one or more embodiments, a mobile electronics device may comprise a digital camera having a lens component and lens position component. A display may be coupled to the digital camera to reproduce an image with a first focal point. The digital camera may also include a focal point selection module coupled to the display to select a second focal point for the image and a focus control module coupled to the focal point selection module and the lens position component to provide focus control signals to the lens position component to focus the lens component on the second focal point. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
An electronic device includes a processor configured to run a plurality of applications, a power supply coupled to the processor, and a database coupled to the processor The database is configured to store information identifying each of the plurality of applications as being in either a first set of applications or a second set of applications. The processor monitors the power level of the power supply and is configured to disable the first set of applications when the power level reaches a predetermined power level.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed to improved systems and techniques for allowing a user to navigate to media content on a mobile computing device and/or perform available operations associated with the media content. In one embodiment, for example, a mobile computing device may comprise a display to present a tabbed multimedia graphical user interface comprising a navigation bar including a plurality of navigation tabs for navigating to media content and performing available operations associated with the media content. The plurality of navigation tabs may comprise an audio navigation tab associated with audio content, a pictures and videos navigation tab associated with image and video content, a still camera navigation tab for taking digital photographs, a video camera navigation tab for taking video movies, and an online and bookmarks navigation tab associated with online media content. The tabbed multimedia graphical user interface may present a corresponding view associated with an active navigation tab. Tapping a different navigation tab on the display or inputting a directional command to the mobile computing device may immediately navigate to the different navigation tab and display the corresponding view for enabling a user to navigate to media content and perform available operations associated with the different navigation tab.

Abstract:
Providing a dynamic bandwidth increase using at least one token bucket is disclosed. At least one token bucket is pre-loaded to capacity using PCMM commands to dynamically implement speed increases in the network. By pre-loading the at least one token bucket to capacity, the rate cap assigned to the customer is overridden. When the token bucket is exhausted the customer continues at their provisioned rate cap. Only a configuration file has to be changed to implement the temporary bandwidth increase. The token buckets may be implemented on a per service flow basis. Further, a plurality of token buckets may be provided, wherein a first token bucket is configured to control a total burst size and a second token bucket is configured to control an individual flow burst rate up until the first token bucket is depleted.
