Abstract: A monetary transaction system allows one or more wireless or wired devices, or a combination of these devices, to perform a transfer of currency or monetary funds from one online financial account to another financial account. After a user's profile is created, all of the necessary steps to verify the profile, availability of funds, security related issues and debiting and crediting of the appropriate account can be performed quickly and easily from the user's device. Thus, the transaction system will allow the transfer of funds between wired or wireless devices or appliances.

Abstract: An approach for providing managed security services is disclosed. A database, within a server or a pre-existing anomalous event detection system, stores a rule set specifying a security policy for a network associated with a customer. An anomalous detection event module is deployed within a premise of the customer and retrieves rule sets from the database. The anomalous detection event module monitors a sub-network of the network based on the rule sets. The anomalous event detection module is further configured to self-organize by examining components of the network and to monitor for anomalous events according to the examined components, and to self-provision by selectively creating another instance of the anomalous detection event module to monitor another sub-network of the network.

Abstract: An approach for providing an on-line directory assistance services is disclosed. An on-line directory assistance system includes a server that receives a request message for information over a packet switched network from an access device. The server forwards the information to the access device in response to the request message, wherein the information includes basic content data and optional enhanced content data. The system also includes a database that stores the information. Further, the server selectively receives a modification message to modify the enhanced content data associated with the information from the access device. The server then updates the database based upon the modification message.

Abstract: A device includes a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a gaming package. The gaming package may include an operating system, a script for detecting a hardware configuration of the device, software for accessing a network, and peering software. The processor may be further configured to establish a peer-to-peer gaming session with another device over the network.
