    摘要: Users can send short message service (SMS) communication with the purpose of the communication being implied therein. An SMS broker described herein can derive the implied purpose by parsing the communication at least in part according to defined set of rules of syntax and in light of a current context within which the communication was received. In one aspect, the communication is brokered via the SMS broker and it may be intended as a message to be sent to another user identified by a moniker, such as their e-mail alias, which has the advantage of avoiding the need to store phone numbers on memory-constrained devices. In another aspect, the communication is a request for user data of other users also identified in the request by a simple moniker such as their e-mail alias. Additionally, a user can also send a communication intended to update their own user information such as their current location, availability and so on.

    摘要: Media collections (MC) service embodiments are presented which generally facilitate access to diverse forms of media by resolving an identifier tuple assigned to a content item into a set of one or more Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) which point to an instance of the content item. This scheme supports the upload and query of collections of media elements such as images, audio, video, deep zoom images, photosynth and so on. In addition, the foregoing scheme affords a standard way to bind to media that persists, and makes it easier to author and play content while being flexible about where the media is located.

    摘要: “Experience Streams” (ESs) are used by a “rich interactive narrative” (RIN) data model as basic building blocks that are combined in a variety of ways to enable or construct a large number of RIN scenarios for presenting interactive narratives to the user. In general various ES types contain all the information required to define and populate a particular RIN, as well as the information (in the form of a series of navigable states) that charts an animated and interactive course through each RIN. In other words, combinations of various ES provide a scripted path through a RIN environment, as well as various UI controls and/or toolbars that enable user interaction with the interactive narrative provided by each RIN. Example ESs include, but are not limited, content browser experience streams, zoomable media experience streams, relationship graph experience streams, player-controls/toolbar experience streams, etc.

    摘要: An automated task centered collaboration technique is described that significantly lowers the technological entry barrier for the development and deployment of a broad class of collaborative applications, which are termed Task Centered Collaboration (TCC) applications. TCC applications facilitate the processing of a large number of work items, or tasks, by people working independently or in small, synchronously collaborating groups. The technique also provides a mechanism for the study of computer mediated communication and human-computer interactions for this class of applications. The technique creates an abstraction applicable to the broad class of TCC applications, which enables the factoring out of significant portions of the application into a common infrastructure. It provides a programming model that enables a developer to focus on the User Interface and logic associated with operations on a single task, without being exposed to issues such as security, authentication, binding users to activities, synchronization, concurrency and persisting data.

    摘要: The invention provides quality-of-service (QoS) delivery services over a computer bus having isochronous data transfer capabilities. A transmitting node on the bus transmits a message to an intended recipient indicating a requested bandwidth for a connection. If the intended recipient has sufficient resources, it allocates an isochronous data channel on the bus and notifies the transmitter of the allocated channel. Thereafter, the transmitter transmits the data on the allocated channel. If the recipient cannot allocate a channel, it does not respond, and the transmitter thereafter detects a time-out condition and begins transmitting using a “best efforts” scheme (i.e., non-guaranteed time delivery). In a second variation, a receiving node detects that it is receiving large quantities of data from a transmitting node. In response, the receiving node allocates an isochronous data channel on the bus and notifies the transmitter of the allocated channel. Thereafter, the transmitter transmits using the allocated isochronous channel. In a third variation, multiple receiving nodes that need to receive streaming data from a single transmitting node share a common isochronous data channel. In any of these variations, each receiver can periodically transmit a “deadman” timer message on a broadcast channel to indicate that it is still receiving on a given channel. If a transmitter detects that the deadman timer has expired, it reverts to transmitting data using a “best-efforts” scheme. A transmitter can transmit both to receivers that can handle QoS services and those that cannot explicitly support QoS services.

    摘要: A custom palette comprises colors on a plurality of luminance levels consisting of colors of uniform luminance. The spacing in luminance between levels varies in relation to the luminance, the spacing between levels being closer at low luminance and increasing at greater luminance. The palette preferably includes a gray color from each luminance level, highly saturated colors at the vertices of every alternate level, and a selection of lower saturation colors encircling the gray color on each level. The selection of lower saturation colors preferably includes a higher concentration of flesh and sky colors.

    摘要: An exemplary network gateway is capable of accepting a session-related message having a session identifier field; the network gateway is adapted to extract a host identifier from a value populating the session identifier field and to perform a routing operation for the session-related message using the host identifier. For an exemplary media implementation, processor-executable instructions direct a device to perform actions including: ascertaining a host identifier from a session identifier field of a session message; and routing the session message responsive to the ascertained host identifier. An exemplary apparatus includes: at least one processor; and one or more media including processor-executable instructions that are capable of being executed by the at least one processor to direct the apparatus to perform actions including: receiving a session message having a session identifier including a host identifier; and routing the session message responsive to the host identifier.
