    摘要: A method performed by one or more computing devices includes determining a relevancy function of viewer tendencies based on set-top box data from a subscription television service and defining a cluster of set-top boxes based on the relevancy function. The method also includes building a tendency profile for the cluster, the tendency profile including predicted actions for viewers within the cluster. The method further includes assigning the set-top box to the cluster and directing a cluster-oriented presentation to a particular set-top box within the cluster.

    摘要: Methods and related systems are presented that relate to establishing communications among individuals connected through social networking services. To obtain the contact information of an encountered connection, a person may take a photo of the connection and provide information indicating how he/she knows the connection. Using the provided information, a subset of the person's connections in the social networking services that he/she belongs to is selected. The photos included in the profiles of the connections in the selected subset are searched and a profile that includes an image with features matching the features of the obtained image is selected. Once a match is found, personal information of the connection is obtained from his/her profile and transmitted to the person. The individuals can establish connection using the obtained personal information.
