Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide for brokering limited access to a service device via an intermediary. In one example, the method may include receiving a request communication at a control device including a request for limited access to a service device, wherein the request is received from an intermediary device on behalf of a request device, and transmitting an access communication to the intermediary device, wherein the access communication includes an access ticket to be used by the request device to gain the limited access of the service device.

Abstract:
A system includes a first mobile device configured to initiate communication with at least one other mobile device. The first mobile device includes a status indicator configured to provide a persistent visual indication to a user of the status of a mute function of the first user device during the active communication. The first mobile device further includes a user interface configured to receive predefined user input and allow the user to toggle between mute and un-mute states based on the user input regardless of whether a display of the device is shut off and/or the user interface is locked.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques for indicating unreliable reviews on a website are disclosed herein. A set of data corresponding to a review contributed to the website may be accumulated. A frequency with which an author of the review contributed reviews to the website may be calculated from the accumulated set of data. A deviation between a set of review properties and a model may be determined. The set of review properties may comprise the frequency with which the author of the review contributed reviews to the website. An indication that the review is unreliable may be stored with the review based on the deviation. The indication may be used by the website to modify a display of a webpage including the review.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for a wearable input device are described herein. A textile-based wearable system for providing user input to a device comprises a first sensor integrated into the textile-based wearable system, the first sensor to produce a first distortion value representing a distortion of the first sensor. The system also includes an interface module to detect the first distortion value, the distortion value measured with respect to an initial position, and transmit the first distortion value to the device, the device having a user interface, the user interface to be modified, responsive to receiving the first distortion value.

Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide for implementing a dynamic search service. In one example, the method may include receiving information relating to a topic of interest to a user, analyzing the information to determine a search parameter, conducting a coordinated search of content utilizing a plurality of device, generating and gathering results of a coordinated search from the plurality of devices, and generating a result communication including at least one result of the coordinated search.
