Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, and including a method for providing advertisements. The method comprises determining at least in part based on analysis of user interaction data of a plurality of users in a user network, an inferred group of users that interact together, including two or more users from the users in the user network. The method further comprises receiving a request to present an advertisement to each of two or more users of a group of users that interact together, and based at least in part on the received request, providing for display, to each of two or more of the users in the inferred group of users that interact together, the requested advertisement.

A computer-implemented method for providing help suggestions at a social networking site is provided. The method includes receiving from a user an electronic help request identifying one or more contacts, classifying the received electronic help request into one or more help categories, generating an electronic help invitation at least in part based on the received electronic help request and the one or more help categories, sending an electronic help invitation to the one or more contacts identified in the electronic help request. The method concludes with receiving an acceptance of the electronic help invitation from at least one contact of the one or more contacts identified in the electronic help request; and providing, based on the at least one contact's of one or more contacts online activity, an electronic help suggestion to the one or more contact who received the electronic help invitation.

The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that is capable of accessing different types of networks such as a circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network. Anchoring of a circuit-switched initiated session is useful when the session is transferred to a packet-switched network. Accordingly, a dynamic anchoring technique is used that relies on the mobile device to determine when, during on ongoing session, a handoff condition exists. The mobile device then sends a trigger signal that initiates the anchoring process.

The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that is capable of accessing different types of networks such as a circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network. While communicating over the packet-switched network, the device negotiates a sleep interval that is longer than the ordinary interval available using the packet-switched network. In this manner, the device wakes less frequently and thereby conservers power. A buffering system is included so that data directed towards the device while it is asleep may be buffered for later delivery when the device awakens.

In a communication system providing broadcast services in which files for broadcast are accessible by the users. Contents of the broadcast files and the file attributes required to process the broadcast files are separately sent. As arranged, receiving the file attributes ahead of the content files allow more efficient download and processing of the broadcast files.
摘要:
A system and machine-implemented method for providing a user participating in an online shopping environment with a negotiated price for an item, the method comprising receiving a request to negotiate a price of an item being posted to an online shopping environment and offered at a first price, identify purchase context information corresponding to the item in response to receiving the request, wherein the purchase context information include information regarding the item and information regarding the online shopping environment, determining a negotiated price for the online item based on the purchase context information and providing the negotiated price for display to one or more users.

Methods and apparatus for determining the quality of service of a network are disclosed. A disclosed methodology for determining quality of service for a network includes determining at least two metrics reflective of network parameters in at least two different protocol layers of the communication network. The metrics are then compared with respective threshold values, and quality of service for the network is determined based on the comparison of the metrics with the respective threshold values. Corresponding apparatus executing the methodology are also disclosed.

The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that is capable of accessing different types of networks such as a circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network. When supplementary services are invoked involving the device, a protocol is used that signals between the device and a central server that maintains the state information for the supplementary services. In this way, hand-over between the two different types of networks may occur without interrupting supplementary services.

The disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for encoder initialization and communications. The apparatus may include a database and an encoder module. The database may be configured to receive a plurality of parameters to be used for operation of the encoder module. The database may be further configured to store the plurality of parameters and to provide the plurality of parameters to the encoder module. The encoder module includes an encoder configured to be initialized based on the plurality of parameters from the database. When invoked, the encoder may rely on the database to initialize rather than performing measurements on the current signal that is to be encoded. In one aspect, the apparatus may be an access terminal that can seamlessly switch between different domains, different networks, different base stations, and different access points.

The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that is capable of accessing different types of networks at the same time. The mobile device registers a public ID with a first IP address over a first access network and also registers the same public ID with a different IP address over a second access network. Additional registrations and IP addresses may occur as well. Of particular benefit is that the different registrations are active during at least some concurrent period of time. This allows a user of the mobile device to have improved continuity of service, select preferred access methods, and receive different data services simultaneously.
