Patent number: 8745183Abstract: An improved system and method is provided for adaptively refreshing a web page. A base version of the web page may be partitioned into a collection of fragments. Then the collection of fragments may be compared with the corresponding fragments of a recent version of the web page to determine a divergence measurement of the difference between the base version and the recent version of the web page. The divergence measurement may be recorded in a change profile representing a change history of the web page that includes a sequence of numeric pairs indicating a time offset and a divergence measurement of the difference between a version of the web page at the time offset and a base version of the web page. The refresh period for the web page may be adjusted by applying an adaptive refresh policy using the divergence measurements recorded in the change profile.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2006Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Yahoo!

Patent number: 8509188Abstract: In a communication system, a core network interface receives user data for a wireless communication device and transfers the user data to the device over a first access network. A second access network receives a service request from the wireless communication device and transfers a buffer initiation signal to the core network interface. The second access network establishes a wireless link to the wireless communication device and transfers a packet connection request to the core network interface. The core network interface receives more user data for the wireless communication device, buffers the additional user data responsive to the buffer initiation signal, and transfers the user data to the first access network for delivery to the device. The core network interface establishes a packet connection to the wireless communication device and transfers the buffered user data to the device over the second access network.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Jasinder Pal Singh, Anthony Kit-yui Leung, Maulik K.

Patent number: 8472430Abstract: A method and system for prioritizing data packets relating to a conversation over a VoIP communication channel is provided. An individual client or a service provider may specify priority information corresponding to incoming conversations. When several calling clients send data packets to one called client, the predefine priority information of the called client may be exchanged as part of contextual information. Based on the predefined priority information, priority levels are assigned to the received data packets. Subsequently, an existing communication channel may be terminated, interrupted, altered, and/or suspended in order to transmit data packets with higher priority than other data packets. A new communication channel may be established for a two-way communication, or a one-way communication between two clients.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2006Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David Milstein, Linda Criddle, Scott Forbes
