Abstract:
A system, devices, and methods for providing a personalized search library based on continual concept correlation include a client computing device and a personalized content server. Content events representing content accessed or manipulated by a user of the client computing device are continually generated. Content associated with the content events is continually parsed and analyzed to extract main concepts. The extracted concepts are correlated and weighted into a concept model, based on the order of the content events. The concept model parallels the structure of the user's memory. Data sources are continually searched for content relevant to a current context of the concept model. Relevant content is indexed according to the concept model. The relevant content may be made available to the user upon request or proactively. Relevant content may be cached for future use by the user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for managing and distributing device and/or software settings. In some embodiments, the systems and methods permit a first device to upload settings information and/or user information to a network server. The network server may store such settings information and post it for download by at least one second device. Mechanisms for establishing a trust rating for such settings information are also described.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure describes a method and system for peer-based collaborative discovery and signaling of another device in limited signal areas. A method may include, in an embodiment, initiating a sensing mode in a seek mobile device in response to receiving an indication that a location of a lost mobile device is unknown; capturing first position data if a signal from the lost device is detected; capturing second position data in response to losing the signal from the lost device; and determining an estimated location of the lost device based on the first position data and the second position data, wherein the lost device is located in an area of limited or no connectivity and the seek device is moving through the area.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling messaging service message adaptation. An original message is received from an originating communication device, the original message based on a wireless communication message protocol, the original message being of a first message type. The original message is modified according to preferences of a message recipient communication device to generate a second message of a second message type. The second message is sent to the message recipient communication device. The original message is sent to an alternate message recipient based on the original message being modified.

Abstract:
Technologies for dynamically implementing an image protection policy include a camera device with a camera to capture an image of at least one person. The camera device determines a location in the image of at least one person in the image, determines a location of at least one personal computing device, and maps the personal computing devices to the persons captured in the image based on the determined device and image locations. The camera device may broadcast an announcement of the creation of the image to the personal computing devices, negotiate an image protection policy with each of the personal computing devices, and implement the negotiated image protection policy.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure describes a method and system for route personalization. A method may include, in an embodiment, requesting that a user of a computing device provide a trip modifier in response to a request from the user to map a route from a first location to a second location; acquiring objective data related to the trip modifier for at least one possible route from the first location to the second location; generating a weighted route recommendation associated with each possible route based on the acquired objective data and the trip modifier; and displaying each possible route and its associated weighted route recommendation on the computing device, wherein the trip modifier comprises at least one user characteristic and each weighted route recommendation is configured to provide a personalized route recommendation to the user for the respective associated possible route.
Abstract:
A select-hold-release navigation system is described. An apparatus may comprise a select-hold-release navigation application operative on a processor circuit to present a navigation menu rotationally displaying one or more navigation elements based on user input received at the apparatus. The select-hold-release navigation application may be operative on the processor circuit to present a navigation menu rotationally displaying one or more navigation elements based on navigation input received at the apparatus, the navigation input comprising control directives generated by an input device coupled to the apparatus sustained for a defined duration and being associated with a navigation capable area. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
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:
A method and apparatus for handling messaging service message adaptation. An original message is received from an originating communication device, the original message based on a wireless communication message protocol, the original message being of a first message type. The message is modified according to preferences of a message recipient communication device to generate a second message of a second message type. The second message is sent to the message recipient communication device. A modification notification is sent to the originating communication device, the modification notification indicating that the original message was modified.
