Abstract:
Methods of predicting future connectivity of a portable electronic device is described along with systems and devices for implementing the methods. The method includes receiving an indication of a plurality of radio scenes detected at the portable electronic device at different reference times. Each of the plurality of radio scenes identifies transmitters and associated signal strength of signals received by the portable electronic device at the respective reference time. One or more connectivity predictions can be retrieved from a corpus of pairs of a composite signature vector and associated connectivity information. Each of the one or more connectivity predictions can be retrieved based on a similarity between the associated respective composite signature vector and a query composite signature vector. A future connectivity prediction of the portable electronic device can be provided based on the one or more retrieved connectivity predictions.
Abstract:
A method performed on an electronic device for creating a proposal to a user. The proposal is created from an analysis of one or more personal electronically encoded items associated with one or more previously created perspectives unique to a user with each of the previously created perspectives representative of user interest and is based on similarities determined from the analysis. The proposal includes the creation of a new perspective, a new album, or a new perspective and a new album associated with the new perspective and the association therewith of one or more of the one or more analyzed personal electronically encoded items. Responsive to user acceptance of the proposal, the system creates the new perspective, the new album, or the new perspective and the new album associated with the new perspective and associates therewith one or more of the one or more analyzed personal electronically encoded items.
Abstract:
A system and method for generating an m-dimensional signature vector with aliasing across synonyms in a computing device is provided. Data representable by a plurality of key-value pairs, each comprising a unique identifier and an associated non-zero value of n-dimensional data is received at the computing device. Elements of the m-dimensional aliased signature vector are generated using synonym information of keys from the plurality of key-value pairs.

Abstract:
A method performed on an electronic device for migrating tags across entities. The migration of the tags is performed following an analysis of one or more personal electronically encoded items associated with a previously created perspective or album associated with the previously created perspective, responsive to a user decision the creation of a new perspective, a new album associated with one of the previously created perspectives, or a new perspective and a new album associated with the new perspective, responsive to a user decision to treat the previously created perspective or album as an individual entity, and association of the previously created perspective or album with the new perspective or new album. The tags are respectively migrated from the new perspective or the new album to the associated previously created perspective or the previously created album and to associated ones of the one or more personal electronically encoded items.
Abstract:
Techniques for estimating a location of a portable electronic device are provided. The techniques represent radio scene information detected by a portable electronic device as a vector. The vector may then be used to retrieve similar vectors associated with known locations from a corpus. The known locations may then be used to estimate the location of the portable electronic device.

Abstract:
A method performed on an electronic device for clustering personal electronically encoded items. Such items are clustered in response to one or more perspective directives from a user that are received by the device by creating one or more perspectives each representative of a personal area of user interest identified by the user. Responsive to one or more first clustering directives from the user, the system clusters one or more of the user's personal electronically encoded items with one or more of the created one or more perspectives and develops a probability model for managing the user's personal electronically encoded items based on the one or more perspective directives and the one or more first clustering directives.
