摘要:
A computer correlates web and email attributes to detect spam. A security module on a client collects attributes of a web site to which an email address was submitted and attributes of an email message sent to the email address that was previously submitted. The security module analyzes the attributes of the web site and the email message to determine whether the email message was sent to the email address responsive to the submission of the email address to the web site. Based on the analysis, the security module determines whether the email message is spam. A machine learning module on a security server establishes training data describing the attributes of the web site to which email addresses were submitted and attributes of legitimate emails received in response to the address submissions. The machine learning module generates an attributes classifier for the security module for spam detection.

Method and apparatus managing calls for call-related calendar entries stored on a device is described. In some examples, calendar entries stored in the device are parsed to detect call-related calendar entries. A telephone number associated with each of the call-related calendar entries is extracted. An invocator is provided in the device that is configured to cause the device to dial the telephone number associated with a first call-related calendar entry of the call-related calendar entries that is within a temporal threshold of a current time maintained by the device.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for using alternate power sources to manage the power draw on a power grid may comprise: 1) identifying a need to reduce power draw on the power grid, 2) identifying an electrical device that draws power from the power grid, 3) determining that the electrical device is capable of drawing power from an alternate power source, and 4) transmitting a command that, when executed, causes the electrical device to draw power from the alternate power source. A corresponding device-side method for reducing power draw on a power grid may comprise: 1) drawing power from a power grid, 2) receiving a command to draw power from an alternate power source, and then 3) drawing power from the alternate power source. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for managing temporary e-mail addresses is described. All e-mail sent to a temporary e-mail address is initially forwarded to an actual e-mail address. In some examples, the temporary e-mail address is automatically deactivated in response to an event such that no e-mail sent to the temporary e-mail address is forwarded to the actual e-mail address. A notification e-mail is sent to the actual e-mail address, the notification e-mail indicating that the temporary e-mail address has been deactivated and including one or more uniform resource locators (URLs) configured to manage the deactivation of the temporary e-mail address.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing information associated with service providers using a social network is described. In one embodiment, a method of providing indicia of familiarity with the service providers comprises identifying one or more relationships between one or more service providers and a user using a social network associated with the user and generating information regarding the one or more relationships, wherein the information comprises a social distance between the user and each service provider of the one or more service providers where the social distance represents an indicia of familiarity between the user and each service provider of the one or more service providers.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for using a remote delegate is described. In one embodiment, the method comprising evaluating information that identifies at least one of software packages resident in a client computer or licenses associated with the software packages using a remote delegate and enabling use of a resource at the client computer based on the information through use of the remote delegate.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for synchronously changing authentication credentials of a plurality of domains comprising detecting an authentication credential change event for a particular domain, where the authentication credential is being changed from a first credential to a second credential, determining whether the particular domain is within a domain group, and, if the particular domain is within the domain group, changing the authentication credential of at least one other domain in the domain group from the first credential to the second credential.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for managing authentication may include identifying authentication-capabilities information of an online service. The computer-implemented method may also include identifying, within the authentication-capabilities information, a specification indicating how a remote computing agent may interact with the online service to perform an authentication function supported by the online service. The computer-implemented method may further include using the specification to interact with the online service to perform the authentication function. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for filtering electronic messages. The method may include identifying a first time period during which a user accesses electronic messages less than during a second time period. The method may also include associating a first filtering level with the first time period and associating a second filtering level with a second time period. The method may further include, during the first time period, setting a spam filter to the first filtering level. The first filtering level may cause the spam filter to perform stronger filtering than the second filtering level. The method may include, during the second time period, setting the spam filter to the second filtering level. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
摘要:
User account control (such as the UAC component of Windows Vista) is extended to enable users to allow their decisions on how to respond to managed events to be applied to equivalent events for groups, without any further prompting. When a managed event first occurs, the user is presented with an extended dialog prompting for input not only on whether to allow the event for just the user, but also on whether to allow the event for any groups the user manages. Managed groups can comprise all of the user's computers, or multiple user accounts the user manages. The user's response to the prompt and information concerning the managed event are stored. Matching events within a group context are recognized, and appropriate stored responses are automatically applied, without any additional user prompting.
