Abstract: Systems and methods for managing third party content are described. In one embodiment, the method includes storing information for a plurality of third party content elements that were selected by a user for display with a page of content, in response to a user request corresponding to a page associated with one of the plurality of third party content elements specified by the stored information, rendering for display on the page a third party content module associated with the third party content element, and, in response to a user modification of the third party content module, storing information corresponding to the user modification. The modified content module is rendered for display on a page of content according to the stored information. The user has the ability to customize and control the parameters of content modules selected by the user to be rendered on the accessed page.

Abstract: An electronic device can utilize image information to determine a proper orientation with which to render content. In some embodiments, a camera of a computing device can capture one or more images to attempt to determine a relative location (or direction) of a user by identifying a feature of a user or by using objects in the image to determine a likely direction of a user. Based at least in part on this information, as well as information from position and motion sensors of the device in some embodiments, a device can determine a relative position of a user, and can cause content to be rendered by the device with an orientation that is appropriate for that position, where the orientation can also depend upon the type of content or other such factors. Such an approach can determine proper orientations in situations where conventional sensor-based approaches are not sufficient.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining the likelihood of a user's attendance at an event. For example, the systems and methods can be used to determine that a particular user is attending, is planning to attend, has already attended, or is about to attend a particular event, such as a movie, concert, tour, etc. Further, upon determining that a user is attending, has already attended, or is about to attend an event, systems and methods can be used to serve to a device, associated with the user, content that is related to the event. For example, the content may include invites that invite the user to provide a review of the event and to join a discussion about the event. Further, for example, the content may include links to websites that provide reviews and other information about the event, provide information about related events, or that offer related items for sale.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining an individual's ability to leverage a network of connections. For example, the systems and methods can be used to assess an entertainment professional's ability to leverage his network of connections with other entertainment professionals to obtain opportunities to work on movie projects. An entertainment professional's ability to leverage his network of connections may correspond to the entertainment professional's success in the entertainment profession. Accordingly, by assessing an entertainment professional's ability to effectively leverage his network of connections with other entertainment professionals, the systems and methods may be able to make observations regarding the success of the entertainment professional.

Abstract: When deciding whether to fund a project, such as a movie, investors consider information such as what is often referred to as the “bankability” of people or entities attached to the project, such as the top-billed actors, the director, the producer, and/or the screenwriter. A system can collect information about people or entities and prior projects associated with those people or entities and use that information to calculate the bankability of those people or entities. Project developers can use the calculated bankability of the people or entities when deciding which people or entities to attach to in-development projects to increase the chance that the project will attract funding.

Abstract translation: 在决定是否为电影等项目提供资金时，投资者会考虑信息，例如通常被称为项目附带的人员或实体的可银行性的信息，例如顶尖的演员，导演，制片人和 /或编剧。 系统可以收集与这些人或实体相关的人或实体和先前项目的信息，并使用该信息来计算这些人或实体的可行性。 项目开发人员可以在决定哪些人员或实体附加在开发项目中时，利用人民或实体的计算能力来增加项目吸引资金的机会。

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for fine level access control over message content in an electronic messaging system. Access criteria associated with the message content define requirements that a user must satisfy in order to perform specified actions on message content. The user's complete profile is examined at run time and compared to access criteria to make a real time decision about the level of access that a user should have to message content. Depending on the access criteria associated with content, stronger authentication or weaker authentication of the user profile information may be performed on the user profile to determine the level of access that should be granted to the user.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and program for pre-selling tickets to determine whether to book an event or activity, and for facilitating the sale of those tickets. Consumers who pre-purchase a ticket are plainly notified if an event has not yet been booked. They are also shown the progress toward the likely booking of the event. A successful pre-sale of tickets triggers the booking of the event. An unsuccessful pre-sale results in the event not being booked. Consumers who help effect an event booking may be given privileges over those who purchase traditional tickets for the same event after it has already been booked.

Abstract translation: 一种用于预售票的装置，方法和程序，以确定是否预订活动或活动，以及便利出售这些票。 如果事件还没有被预订，那么预先购买机票的消费者就会被通知。 他们也显示出可能预订事件的进展。 票的成功预售触发了活动预订。 预售不成功导致事件未被预订。 协助影响活动预订的消费者可享有在已预订同一活动之后购买传统门票的客人的特权。
