摘要： An overlay network and scheme for building and using the overlay network are described. As the overlay network is built, new nodes joining the network are connected randomly with other nodes which results in a random graph as the network topology. The network is fully scalable, with each new node providing the same number of network connections for output to other nodes as it consumes when it joins the network. In addition, network coding is implemented at each node to mix packets of data entering each node using random linear functions. The network coding at each node generates new packets that are independent combinations of original data packets entering the node. The new coded packets make the distribution of data to other nodes more efficient and robust.

摘要： Systems and/or methods are presented that can employ an ad object comprising a data packet(s) to facilitate providing an advertising platform that is ecosystem independent and can support various advertising models, such as affiliate, viral, and/or word-of-mouth (WOM) advertising. The data packet can be associated with an advertisement for a product(s) and/or service(s) and can include a mechanism(s) that facilitates enabling users to reproduce the data packet and associated advertisement in different sites, such as user sites. As the data packet propagates through a community network, the data packet can receive and accumulate data, such as data relating to purchases, comments, or ratings, storing such data in the data packet and displaying a portion of such data with the advertisement to facilitate WOM advertising. The data packet facilitates providing incentives to users who perform desired actions (e.g., purchases, syndication) related to the advertisement.

摘要： Systems and methods to detect unauthorized changes to a printed document are described. In one aspect, a digital signature of original content associated with electronic document is embedded into the original content to create a content signed document. The systems and methods use the embedded digital signature to automatically determine whether text-based content associated with a printout of the content signed document was changed from the original content associated with the electronic document.

摘要： Mechanisms for tracking power unit usage allow power units to be exchanged rather than recharged. Users can purchase power unit subscriptions that are tracked on a per entity basis to allow exchange of power units during the subscription period. The subscriptions can also account for life cycle costs of the power units. Subscriptions can be based on a time period, on an amount of power, and/or on a number of power unit exchanges. In one instance, power unit vending stations interact with a centralized server to allow power unit exchanges at any number of disparate locations.

摘要： The claimed subject matter relates to a computer-implemented architecture that can facilitate computer-assisted haggling and/or negotiation between multiple parties simultaneously. For example, various proxies associated with both buyers and sellers can be configured to negotiate with other proxies to buy or sell an item. The negotiations can be required to be progressive and during the negotiations a buyer or seller is, typically, allowed to withdraw his or her proposals. The architecture can include a registration component that can resolve concurrency and facilitate a registration of an agreement between two of the parties. The registration of an agreement can create a binding obligation between the parties after which other outstanding proposals can be terminated.

摘要： Dynamically auctioned advertisements are placed in networked platforms based on and associated with a specific user of the platform. The user can then select an advertisement to be associated with them during operation of the platform. Additionally, micro-endorsements or small payments can be made to the user based on their performance within the platform and their selected advertisement. The dynamic advertisement auctions can utilize impressions, selections, and successes to determine how much to charge the advertisers. Payments of the micro-endorsements can emanate from the advertiser charges. As players become more successful, increased micro-endorsements can occur. Additional payments can also be made for user loyalty to a particular advertiser. Demographics of the user can also be employed to determine which advertisements are more likely to appeal to the user and/or are more closely matched to an advertiser's target.

摘要： Congestion adaptive data routing is leveraged to provide a substantial increase in data throughput in networks with data congestion. By continuously adapting the data routes when a congested route is encountered, the data can reach its destination via alternate routes around the congested area. This is accomplished in a distributed manner where each node provides an alternative path to congestion based on its local knowledge and/or knowledge obtained from neighboring nodes. This allows the data path to be dynamically adjusted for congestion without requiring a centralized body of control. In another instance, data rate changes can be combined with data path changes to increase the efficiency of the data throughput. Alternative routes can be determined based upon the costs associated with selecting that route. Selecting a minimum cost route yields the most efficient transfer of data.

摘要： The claimed subject matter can provide a mechanism that facilitates a new advertising architecture in the advertising space, e.g., for ranking publishers of ads and/or mitigating click-fraud. A mechanism is provided to confirm transactions that occur between a customer and a merchant as well as an indication of which ad publisher made the referral. Accordingly, the performance of an ad displayed by a publisher can be assessed, and, e.g., employed in the pricing scheme for displaying the ad. The ad publisher performance ratio can be relative to other ad publishers and can be employed with a pay-per-click, pay-per impression, or other similar billing structures.
