    摘要: A system and method for maintaining a grey list for controlling incoming calls from numbers on a telephone network. Information associated with previous calls received by the telephone is stored in the form of a grey list. The stored information includes an indication of whether each of the previously received calls passed a previous challenge. Based on the stored information, when an incoming call is received, a determination is made whether the incoming call corresponds to a call that passed a previous challenge. The incoming call connected to the telephone if the stored information indicates that the incoming call previously passed a challenge. An action is taken if the stored information does not indicate that the incoming call previously passed the challenge. The action may include blocking the call, allowing the call or providing a current challenge to the call.

    摘要: A system and method for sending multimedia to a remote television. Credential information associated with at least a first user and a second user is stored. A request is received from a mobile device associated with the first user to share multimedia with a destination television associated with the second user. It is determined whether the second user is authorized to receive the multimedia from the first user using the stored credential information. A connection is established between the mobile device and the destination television after determining that the second user is authorized to receive the multimedia. The multimedia is transmitted to the destination television in real-time. The multimedia is stored no more than transiently during transmission from the mobile device to the destination television.

    摘要: Devices and methods of monitoring network-connected client devices are provided. A device includes a processor, a communication subsystem coupled to the processor for transmitting a common electronic document, and a memory coupled to the processor. The device may be configured to receive a plurality of delivery reports from the client devices that received the common electronic document, the plurality of delivery reports including a first delivery report having first consumption data associated with the common electronic document at a first client device; generate an engagement vector from the plurality of delivery reports, the generated engagement vector includes a threshold metric for determining an extent of interaction with the common electronic document at respective client devices; and provide a compliance result for the first client device by comparing the engagement vector to the first consumption data of the first client device.

    摘要: Authenticating the location of a viewing device for receiving content includes storing a plurality of connection identifiers in a database, the connection identifiers being associated with a plurality of networking devices and a plurality of user accounts. A viewing device sends a request to access content which is received by a server. The request is associated with a user account. One or more first connection identifiers is selected from the database based on the user account to which the request is associated. A second connection identifier is obtained based on a connection between the viewing device and the server. It is determined if the second connection identifier matches one of the one or more first connection identifiers. Content is provided to the viewing device if the second connection identifier matches one of the one or more of the first connection identifiers.
