  • Patent number: 8386293
    Abstract: A hardware platform (300) of choice can be configured and arranged to determine (101) a current need to respond to a previously unknown person with content and to then obtain (102) from that person only a modicum of personal information. The hardware platform can then use (103) that modicum of personal information to access a store of characterizing general information and thereby obtain a corresponding profile for this person. The hardware platform can then automatically and currently provide (104) initial content to this person, wherein the initial content is customized as a function, at least in part, of this profile information.

  • Publication number: 20100004998
    Abstract: A control circuit serves to receive data messages in conjunction with a corresponding source identifier from each of a plurality of sources (wherein the plurality of sources each have, at the time of sourcing their respective data message, a corresponding end user who is presently sharing a common presentation with others of the end users). The control circuit uses the source identifier to determine additional identifying information for at least a substantial number of these end users and then uses that additional identifying information to determine characterizing information for at least a substantial number of the end users. This characterizing information can then be used to modify the common presentation (for example, by controlling particular items of promotional content that comprise a part of the presentation).

  • Patent number: 7155672
    Abstract: Methods and system for dynamic font subsetting. One or more directives are inserted into electronic content to identify one or more glyph sub-sets needed to display the multiple characters in one or more desired languages for electronic content. A directive identifies a glyph sub-set including set of glyphs identified in the electronic content and an encoding scheme used to encode the set of glyphs. The glyph sub-set identifies only those glyphs needed to display the electronic content. When electronic content with the one or more directives is processed the one or more directives are identified. If the electronic device does not have the glyph sub-sets needed to display the electronic content, requests are sent to an intermediate network device to obtain glyph sub-sets. These method and system may allow an electronic device with limited resources, such as a wireless telephone, personal digital assistant, network appliance, set-top box, etc.
