摘要： A system and method for sharing an item of media content is described. An exemplary method includes associating a first location with the item of media content at a first mobile device and sending a request to view the item of media content to a second mobile device at a second location. The method includes showing a recipient of the item of media content a simulated journey from the recipient's location to a location associated with the item of media content. The simulated journey includes zooming out from the recipient's location shown on a map, following a path between the recipient's location and the location associated with the item of media content, and zooming into the location associated with the item of media content.

摘要： Methods and systems are provided herein for recommending a media asset based on a geographic location at which that media asset was frequently consumed. For example, the system may monitor a location, such as New York City or Times Square, to determine popular media assets watched there, such as “The Avengers,” and when another user visits New York City, the system may then notify the user that the movie, such as “The Avengers,” is associated with New York City. The system stores the geographic locations associated with the media asset in the database based on the consumption of the media asset so that other users may be notified which media assets are associated with each geographic location.

摘要： Content management server receives requests for geographically restricted domains and generates unique registrant identifiers responsive to the request based on the physical geographic location of the registrant and a related proximity condition. Each of the unique registrant identifiers identifying a registrant content server, and each of the registrant content servers storing content associated with the corresponding unique registrant identifier. The content management server receives queries from user devices, and the queries indicate a geographic location. The content management server identifies geographically relevant registrant content servers based on associated unique registrant identifiers relative to satisfied proximity conditions. The registrant content servers may communicate geographically relevant content objects to user devices.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided for registering, curating, enabling, and controlling the use of non-locational identifiers, such as phone numbers and domain names, as physical addresses and location identifiers (LIDs) for purposes of providing instant access to enhanced cross-platform location information and services imbedded in other devices and services through an LID registry. Users may then use the LIDs as physical addresses for purposes of navigation and obtaining information related to such physical locations only as authorized and controlled by the owners of such LIDs.

摘要： Systems and processes are disclosed for operating a digital assistant in a media environment. In an exemplary embodiment, a user can interact with a digital assistant of a media device while content is displayed by the media device. In one approach, a plurality of exemplary natural language requests can be displayed in response to detecting a user input of a first input type. The plurality of exemplary natural language requests can be contextually-related to the displayed content. In another approach, a user request can be received in response to detecting a user input of a second input type. A task that at least partially satisfies the user request can be performed. The performed task can depend on the nature of the user request and the content being displayed by the media device. In particular, the user request can be satisfied while reducing disruption to user consumption of media content.

摘要： Techniques for connectivity using a geographic phone number are described. According to various implementations, techniques described herein enable various policies pertaining to the use of telephone numbers at different locations to be enforced. For instance, techniques described herein enable a client device that is outside of a permitted geographic area for a geographic phone number to use a non-geographic phone number to connect a call, while the call can be routed using the geographic phone number.

摘要： Methods and systems for determining a type of push content to display to a user are described herein. The system identifies a context of a current output of an application on a device. The system extracts user profile information from a user profile of the user. The system then selects a type of push content from a database of types of push content based on the user profile information and the context of the current output. Finally, the system inserts a push content item of the selected type into the current output of the application.

摘要： The present invention relates to a system to facilitate the identification of geo-cells, and the distribution of media content. A visitation tracking system is configured to retrieve location data from a client device, identify a geo-cell from among a set of geo-cells based on the location data, access a database that comprises media content associated with one or more physical location within the geo-cell, ranking a first media content among the media content, and loading the first media content at the client device based on the ranking, according to certain example embodiments.

摘要： Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices are disclosed for improved concurrency of users of a shared virtual environment. One method including: transmitting, to each single player client of, chunks of world chunk data of a shared virtual environment; receiving, at one or more virtual environment servers from each single player client connected to the shared virtual environment, state data of each user of a respective single player client connected to the shared virtual environment, wherein the single player client of each user manages state data of the user within the one or more virtual environment servers; periodically monitoring, from each user of the single player client connected to the shared virtual environment, updated state data for the user of a respective single player client connected to the shared virtual environment; storing, for the shared virtual environment in a database connected to one or more virtual environment servers, the updated state data for each user of the single player client; and periodically transmitting, for each user of the single player client, the updated state data of other users of the single player client within a predetermined distance of the user of the single player client.
