Abstract: A user may have difficulty making a decision about content such as whether to watch a particular content or determining whether the content is something in which the user will be interested. Disclosed are implementations directed to reengage a user in response to an abandonment event and/or provide analytic data to inform a user's decision regarding consumption of content. Analytic data may be provided to the user to help the user make a decision about what content to consume based on, for example, an abandonment rate or other user metrics that indicate interest or disinterest in certain content.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to video segment identification and organization based on dynamic characterizations. A characteristics component analyzes a video, and determines a set of video characteristics based at least in part on the analysis. The video characteristics include but are not limited to a category, a type, an identity of a person, and/or an identity of an object. A segmenting component segments the video based in part on the set of video characteristics, and an indicator component associates indicators corresponding to respective video characteristics with the corresponding video segments.

Abstract: Techniques for determining user behavior related to media are described. A media file containing media is received. The media is partitioned into segments. The user-interaction analyzer monitors user behavior with respect to viewing the media and the segments. The user's behavior with respect to viewing the segments is logged. Normal user behavior with respect to the media is determined and stored. Logged user behavior with respect to interaction with a segment of the media is compared with the normal user behavior with respect to the media. Logged user behavior of a particular media segment that deviates from normal relative to the determined normal user behavior is determined. A particular media segment that is not normal is tagged. A user device is configured to display indicia indicating user behavior related to media to help inform which parts users tend to like the most.

One or more attributes for at least one entity of the one or more distinct entities are identified based at least in part on the set of results. One or more additional search queries are identified based on the search query, the at least one entity, and the one or more attributes. An input selecting at least one of the additional search queries is received. An updated set of results is provided based on the selected additional search queries. The updated set of results comprises at least one result not in the set of results.

Abstract: A content processing device may be operable to analyze activity information associated with particular content identified in a content library associated with a user account. One or more entities associated with the particular content may be identified by the content processing device. The content processing device may collect, from various sources, information related to each of the identified one or more entities. The content processing device may determine, based on one or both of a result of the analysis and the collected information, update information for the particular content. The content processing device may then add, based on one or more ranking factors, item information comprising the particular content along with the determined update information to a list of items associated with the user account. Upon receiving an indication from a data processing device, the content processing device may communicate the list of items to the data processing device.

Abstract: A system for translating multiple words at one time and a method thereof are provided. Through the technical means of selecting multiple words and, translating the selected words in the background, and simultaneously displaying translations of all the selected words, the query for the translations of the words does not break reading, and the technical efficacy of helping a user to understand the document content more quickly is achieved.

More particularly, the invention relates to novel cyclosporine analogue compounds, compositions containing such compounds and methods for using the same, as well as processes for making such compounds.

Abstract: A data query system for a mobile device and a method thereof are provided. A server generates content information with at least an operation code with pre-specified content based on a short message format or an E-mail format, and when the server detects that Internet speed between the server and a mobile device is less than a preset value, the server provides the content information to the mobile device by short message or E-mail by a mobile communication network, so as to achieve the technical efficacy of data query by the mobile communication network when network connection between the mobile device and the server is in poor condition.

Abstract: An information processing system and a method thereof are provided. When monitoring that a network connecting speed between a main server and a client is too low, an assist server monitors all packets transmitted between the main server and the client, and after finding a packet that meets a takeover condition, the assist server requests, in replacement of the client, the main server to process the packet and finally returns a computing processing result fed back by the main server to the client. The above technical means achieves the technical efficacy of proactively assisting the main server to reduce the loading thereof.

Abstract: A synchronization system and a method thereof are provided. A synchronization server detects a location message of a client to generate a time zone label, calculates a use frequency according to a use time of the client, and according to the use frequency and the number of clients with the same time zone label and synchronization time, sets a practical synchronization time for each client, so as to distribute the time point of synchronization processing on each client and the synchronization server, thereby achieving the technical efficacy of improving load balancing of the synchronization processing.

Abstract: A mode switching and electronic sign-in system for a mobile device and a method thereof are provided. A mobile device performs detection of a sign-in device by a wireless network, and when detecting the sign-in device, the mobile device provides an electronic sign-in message.

Abstract: Software on a router receives configuration data that specifies a social networking service as a source for authentication according to an authentication protocol. Subsequently, the router software receives packet data from a client device for a destination other than the social networking service. The router software causes software on the client device to display a login view for the social networking service. The router software transmits the login data entered in the login view to the social networking service. And the router software receives an authorization code following a successful login by a user identified on an access control list (ACL). Then the router software transmits the packet data to the destination.
