Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system receives an indication of current mobile device usage by a user. The user is also associated with one or more past user states that are accessible to the computing system. The computing system selects a future user state of the user based on a calculated probability of a possible future user state. The possible future user state is calculated based on the current mobile-device usage and the past user states. For each past user states, a weight based on a time delay factor is used. Based on the selected future user state, the operation of a mobile device of the user is adapted at the future time corresponding to the future user state.

Abstract: Techniques for server-controlled tiling of location-based information are described. An apparatus may comprise a communication component and a tile component. The communication component may be operative to receive a location-based search request from a client application, the location-based search request comprising a geographic area, and to transmit a plurality of tiles to the client application. The tile component may be operative to determine the plurality of tiles as a set of tiles that cover the geographic area, each tile of the plurality of tiles covering a portion of the geographic area and comprising a set of locations. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Particular embodiments detect an indication of an event that is initiated on an online social network by a user and that is related to an entity associated with an activity that the user has engaged in. Based on the received indication, a social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information about the activity. After the follow-up information is received, the social-networking system retrieves contacts of the user and identifies contacts that have engaged in social activities on the online social network related to the entity. Recommendations for the entity are then sent to those identified contacts.

Abstract: Particular embodiments detect events associated with information about activities that a user has engaged in. The activities may be associated with a location or location-agnostic. Based on the received information, the social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information after an appropriate time delay. The time delay may vary based on the user activity and the context of the event that triggered the request. After the follow-up information is received, such information is stored in the social-networking system and may be used to determine recommendations, sponsored stories, advertisements, etc. to send to friends of the user. The information may also be used for ranking or filtering recommendations.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system accesses current usage information of a mobile device associated with a user. The computing system then determine a future user state of the user based on multiple predictor functions. The multiple predictor functions calculate a probability of the future user state based on multiple weights and multiple decay factors. The multiple decay factors are determined from past user states. The computing system further sends instructions to the mobile device for adapting the operation of the mobile device corresponding to the determined future user state.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving multiple recommendations for a first user from multiple second users and the multiple recommendations are associated with multiple objects. The multiple second users select the first user as the addresses of the multiple recommendations. The method also includes determining that the first user is near a geo-location and recommending to the first user multiple objects that are associated with the geo-location.

Abstract: Particular embodiments detect events associated with information about events and activities that a user has engaged in. The events may be of a particular type. An entity associated with an event may request that the user provide further information on the event and, based on the received information, the social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information after an appropriate time delay. The time delay may vary based on the user activity and the type or context of the event that triggered the request. After the follow-up information is received, such information is stored in the social-networking system and may be used to determine recommendations, sponsored stories, advertisements, etc. to send to friends of the user. The information may also be used for ranking or filtering recommendations.
