Abstract: A system and method for merging a first voice call and a second voice call. A first topic discussed during the first voice call is compared to a second topic discussed during the second voice call. If the first topic matches the second topic, the first voice call may be merged with the second voice call. A semantic analysis may be performed on the first topic and the second topic to determine if the first topic and the second topic match one another. Filter criteria may be defined by participants of the first voice call and the second voice call that identify criteria that may preclude merger of the first voice call and the second voice call.

Abstract: A method and system for redirecting client-side storage operations to a remote storage device. A user agent module executing on a client device receives a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message that includes a client-side storage operation directed to a client storage device. The user agent module detects the client-side storage operation and accesses defined criteria to identify one or more remote storage devices on which to implement the remote storage device in lieu of the client storage device. The user agent module then implements the client-side storage operation on the remote storage device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing redacted electronic documents using callback triggers are provided. In one embodiment, a user device obtains a redacted version of an electronic document, which is referred to herein as a redacted electronic document, and a callback trigger associated with a redacted portion of the redacted electronic document. While a user at the user device is consuming, or reading, the electronic document, a triggering event for the callback trigger is detected. In response to detecting the triggering event, a callback action defined by the callback trigger is performed in order for the user to gain access to the redacted portion of the redacted electronic document. Once the user of the user device has acquired rights to access the redacted portion of the redacted electronic document, the user is enabled to access the redacted portion of the redacted electronic document.

Abstract: A computerized system and method for changing the textual length of an electronic text content while maintaining the meaning of the electronic text content is disclosed. The system includes an electronic reader, or e-reader, device having an electronic touch screen for displaying an electronic text content and for receiving a user touch gesture for identifying a portion of the electronic text content targeted for a textual length change, and a semantic server programmed to receive requests for a semantic text alternative for a targeted electronic text content identified by way of the e-reader device and to determine a semantic alternative electronic text content for the targeted electronic text content, wherein the determined semantic alternative electronic text has a different textual length than the targeted electronic text content, and for replacing the targeted electronic text content displayed by the e-reader device with the determined semantic alternative electronic text content.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for redirecting client-side storage operations to one or more remote storage devices. An HTTP message generated by a web server includes one or more client-side storage operations. Based on defined criteria, the client-side storage operations are replaced with remote storage instructions to generate a modified HTTP message. The modified HTTP message is sent towards the client device. A user agent on the client device receives the HTTP message and executes the remote storage instructions. The storage operations are implemented on the remote storage devices rather than on the client.

Abstract: A gatekeeper function is employed to control communications intended for a target user, who is associated with an electronic reader (e-reader) device. The gatekeeper function detects an attempt for an originating user to communicate with the target user. Upon detecting the attempt to communicate with the target user, the gatekeeper function determines a communication processing action that controls how to handle the communication attempt based on e-reader session information that is collected while the target user is engaged in an e-reader session. The gatekeeper function will then effect the communication processing action to control how the communication attempt is to be handled.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling bandwidth usage. A mobile device receives zone data that identifies a zone within a cell coverage area. The mobile device receives bandwidth data associated with the zone that identifies a first controlled maximum bandwidth rate. The mobile device determines that it is in the zone, and in response thereto, controls bandwidth usage by the mobile device based on the first controlled maximum bandwidth rate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a matchmaking system that can receive a matchmaking request from a first user who wishes to establish communications with a second user. The matchmaking request includes recognition information about the second user that is leveraged upon proximity of the first user to the second user. The matchmaking system attempts to identify the second user based on the recognition information. If the identification of the second user is successful, the matchmaking system sends data to the second user's communications device to establish communications. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the recognition information includes biometric data of the second user. In an alternate embodiment of the present disclosure, the recognition information includes location information pertaining to a current location of the second user.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to callback triggers for mobile or electronic documents are provided. In general, a callback trigger defines a triggering event and a callback action to be performed in response to an occurrence of the triggering event during consumption of the electronic document by an end user. As such, when the triggering event defined by a callback trigger is detected during consumption of the electronic document by an end user, a corresponding callback action is performed. In one embodiment, the one or more callback triggers for the electronic document include at least one dynamic callback trigger that is updated over time.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for routing mobile users to safe, or secure, locations. In one embodiment, based on threat information obtained from one or more source, a threat level is determined for a location of a user of a mobile device. The threat level is indicative of physical safety and/or network safety at the location of the user of the mobile device. The threat level may be a function of a transaction type of a transaction being performed or desired to be performed by the user of the mobile device. If the location is unsafe, a safe location is identified, and the user of the mobile device is routed to the safe location.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for geographic messaging using a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network of location-identified access points, such as femtocells. In one embodiment, a femtocell receives a message from an associated mobile device. The message is then routed from the femtocell to one or more other femtocells located within an area of interest of the message via the P2P network. The femtocells located in the area of interest of the message then deliver the message to mobile devices located within coverage areas of the femtocells. In addition, rights management may be performed to control introduction of messages at the femtocells, propagation of messages through the femtocells, and/or delivery of messages by the femtocells.
