  • Patent number: 9134983
    Abstract: An endpoint machine has a unique endpoint identifier based on a configurable set of hardware attributes for an endpoint type. The endpoint agent running on that machine has an associated software identifier registered with the endpoint management solution upon install. The management server generates the unique endpoint identifier and provides it to the endpoint agent. Periodically, checks are run on the endpoint by the endpoint agent to determine if any of the hardware attributes have changed. If so, the endpoint identifier and the new hardware attribute values are sent to the management server, which uses the information to recognize the endpoint as the same endpoint or to detect a clone of known endpoint. If the endpoint type is unknown or does not exist, the unique software identifier may be used to facilitate the identification process, including the ability to detect a cloned machine.

  • Patent number: 9137308
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling media data capture based on a real-world user experience is described herein. According to embodiments of the invention, media data is captured by a mobile computing device and transmitted to a server computer system in response to identifying one or more events from sensor data. The server computer system adds the captured media data, along with data identifying the event that initiated the capture of the media data, to a history of real-world experiences of a user of the mobile computing device. The server computer system may further perform one or more recognition processes on the captured media data and, when the one or more recognition processes find a match, associate the recognized items to the captured media data.

  • Patent number: 9111105
    Abstract: Improved techniques for managing enterprise applications on mobile devices are described herein. Each enterprise mobile application running on the mobile device has an associated policy through which it interacts with its environment. The policy selectively blocks or allows activities involving the enterprise application in accordance with rules established by the enterprise. Together, the enterprise applications running on the mobile device form a set of managed applications. Managed applications are typically allowed to exchange data with other managed applications, but are blocked from exchanging data with other applications, such as the user's own personal applications. Policies may be defined to manage data sharing, mobile resource management, application specific information, networking and data access solutions, device cloud and transfer, dual mode application software, enterprise app store access, and virtualized application and resources, among other things.

  • Patent number: 9082110
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that enable an email service provider to implement an email forwarding service without losing associated page views. In one embodiment, rather than forwarding the entire email message, the email forwarding service generates a summary email message, and sends this summary email message to the forwarding email address pre-specified by the subscriber. This summary email message includes a link that is selectable by the user to view the original email message on a web site of the email service provider. Thus, even if the forwarding email address is hosted externally, the subscriber still views the full email message on a web site of the provider of the email forwarding service.

  • Patent number: 9065827
    Abstract: Various features are disclosed for generating and presenting users with resource metadata regarding the usefulness or predicted usefulness of particular pages, sites, and/or other network resources. The metadata may be based partly or wholly on the monitored browsing behaviors of many users, including behaviors reflective of whether particular resources were useful to the users. The metadata may, in some cases, be personalized for particular users based, for example, on their browsing environments or contexts. For example, the metadata presented to a smartphone user regarding a particular link may reflect a determination of whether the target resource is well suited for display on smartphones generally or on the user's particular model of smartphone.

  • Patent number: 9053203
    Abstract: This document describes techniques for, and apparatuses capable of, provider-specific parsing for content retrieval. In one embodiment, a user's computing device receives code (e.g., an executable script) from a content provider and utilizes a parsing scheme associated with the content provider to parse the code and determine an address that can be used to retrieve an instance of content. The instance of content can then be retrieved using the address and without executing the code. In some embodiments, the parsing scheme is specific to the content provider and can be updated based on a change to the code.
