Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for accessing protected data. A computing device may have a secured stared storage accessible by two or more applications operating on the mobile device. The computing device may obtain a first token from an authorization service to verify user identity for a first application. The first token may be stored in the shared storage area, and be accessible to one or more applications sharing the storage space. In response to a user attempt to access a web service using a second application, the user identity may be verified using the first token. The authorization service may verify user credentials, and send a second token to the computing device. The second token may be a proxy ticket authorizing access and exchange of protected data between the second application and a web service. The second token may also be stored in the secure storage area.

Abstract: A system and method that supports an integrated user interface experience with third party hosted applications selected and installed by a user within a user-installed native application of a user communication device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed regarding an e-commerce system that maintains references between products and relevant content. In some embodiments, methods and/or apparatus obtain content from one or more content providers via a computer network, identify a product from a product catalog of an electronic database that is related to the obtained content; and update references to relevant content maintained in an electronic database for the product to include a reference to the obtained content.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for generating and processing natural language requests. A request processing system processes a received natural language request to identify an intent of the natural language request and a confidence level of the identified intent. In response to the confidence level of the identified intent not satisfying a threshold level, the request processing system sends the natural language request to the fulfillment computing device for further processing by a person associated with the fulfillment computing device. In response to the confidence level satisfying the threshold level, the request processing system proceeds with fulfilling the request per the identified intent.

Abstract: A system and method for directing queries to the most suitable potential responders of an audience selected from a crowd-sourced population from which to request information, based on information such as query content, query context, timing, location, preferred supporting resource(s), and source of the query.
