摘要： Systems and methods have been developed for modifying pricing structures of rights in files on a network. Systems and methods have also been developed for modifying delivery channels of rights in files on a network. The systems and methods may provide multiple sales models, delivery channels and/or pricing structures for rights in files and may select among them based on popularity data associated with files on a network.

摘要： Systems and methods have been developed for suggesting prices for rights in files on a network. The systems and methods may provide suggested prices for a right in a content file which has not been sold before. The systems and methods may provide the ability for a user to purchase a right in a file about which the user may know little or nothing. The systems and methods may provide a publisher of a file to review the uses and users of the file on a network and the ability for a publisher to negotiate and sell rights in the file. The systems and methods may provide the ability to a user to research who owns a file and whether rights in the file are for sale.

摘要： A device, system, and method are directed towards enabling a mobile device user to perform a federated search across a plurality of disparate contact data stores, including a phone directory, IM store, an email address book, a buddy list, a social networking group, a SMS list, or any of a variety of other communication contact data stores. When a user inputs a character, a dynamic search is performed across the various contact data stores. The results of the search may be repeatedly updated based on additional input characters. The results of the search may be displayed on the mobile device organized by categories of the contact data stores and/or a preferred communication mechanism. The results may also indicate a preferred mechanism for communicating with the displayed name.

摘要： A device, system, and method are directed towards determining a suggested characteristic for an event. At least two events are determined. In one embodiment, at least one characteristic is determined for one of the event. A plurality of other characteristics is determined for the other event. The characteristics of the two events may be determined implicitly from communications during the events or from user input. Based on a relationship between the determined characteristics, the suggested characteristic for the event is then determined. In one embodiment, the relationship is defined as a match of characteristics. The event may then be modified based on the suggested characteristic. For example, a suggested member may be invited to join the event, or the event's time, location, or name may be changed. If the other event is current or pending, the event and the other event may be combined.

摘要： A device, system, and method are directed towards determining a start and/or an end time for a spontaneous event. A mobile device user creates a group for the spontaneous event, and sends the members an invite. During the event, members share media content and/or text messages with other members. Based, in part, on a flow of media content and/or text messages between the members, a determination of a start time and/or end time of the spontaneous event is automatically performed. The start time may be based on when the group is created and/or revised when a flow rate of the media content and/or messages exceed a threshold. The end time may be based on the flow rate being less than another threshold. The location of the spontaneous event may also be determined based on a location of the member's mobile devices during the event.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for searching data and grouping search results into clusters that are ordered according to search relevance. Each cluster comprises one or more data type, such as images, web pages, local information, news, advertisements, and the like. In one embodiment, a search term is evaluated for related concepts indicating categories of data sources to search. Data sources may also be identified by context information such as a location of a client device, a currently running application, and the like. Search results in each cluster are ordered by relevance and each cluster is given a score based on an aggregate of the relevance within the cluster. Each cluster score may be modified based on one or more corresponding concepts and/or context information. The clusters are ordered based on the modified scores. Content, including advertisements, may also be added to the ordered list to appear as another cluster.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically identifying talent from quality and popularity data available on a computing network. The computing network is monitored and new content items and their associated publishers are identified. In addition, quality and popularity data associated with each content item are retrieved from one or more locations on the network. The quality and popularity data are then analyzed to identify popular content items within a particular scope and create a popularity measure of each content item. The popularity measure of each content item is then used to create a popularity measure of each publisher.

摘要： The present invention relates to a messenger system adapted to support the creation and publication of podcast episodes (either audio or video) from communications made via the messenger system. The messenger system may be entirely server-based, may require the use of limited client side software or may be entirely client based. The messenger system allows a user to select that a call be recorded for later use causing the messenger software to store the various audio and any video streams provided from each party to the call. A user interface is then provided that allows the user, after the call, to edit, combine, modify, or add to the different audio and video streams as desired to create a single media file containing audio or audiovisual data. This media file may then be published as an episode to a podcast.

摘要： A system and method are directed towards refining mobile device search results using location modifiers. Information about a mobile device user may be collected, including a current location, a default location, information from address books, or other social networking information. The user may input a search query that is parsed into a primary search term and possibly a location modifier. The location modifier may modify the search for the primary search term by refining a physical location over which the search is performed. Location modifiers may include user-specific location modifiers that may employ social networking information to refine the search query, or a location sub-string modifier that refines the search query by employing a hierarchy of location data and/or social networking information. In one embodiment, where no location modifier is included within the search query, a current, or default, location of the mobile device may be employed.

摘要翻译： 系统和方法旨在使用位置修改器来优化移动设备搜索结果。 可以收集关于移动设备用户的信息，包括当前位置，默认位置，来自地址簿的信息或其他社交网络信息。 用户可以将分析的搜索查询输入到主要搜索词和可能的位置修饰符中。 位置修改器可以通过改进执行搜索的物理位置来修改对主要搜索项的搜索。 位置修改器可以包括可以使用社交网络信息来细化搜索查询的用户特定位置修饰符，或者通过采用位置数据和/或社交网络信息的层次来优化搜索查询的位置子字符串修饰符。 在一个实施例中，在搜索查询内没有包括位置修饰符的情况下，可以采用移动设备的当前或默认位置。
