Abstract: To allow a user to temporarily move access to premium content to another location, e.g. outside the vicinity of the home, while adequately protecting the rights of a broadcast content provider, the various examples implement a transfer of an object for an identified right of content usage between premium content reproduction devices and a mobile device. The mobile device enables such transfer to support viewing of the premium content by a user outside of the user's home.

Abstract: A device may receive multiple position data records. Each of the multiple position data records may identify a geographic position of a vehicle at a particular time. The device may determine, based on the multiple position data records: a first set of time periods during which the vehicle is in motion, and a second set of time periods during which the vehicle is not in motion; determine, based on behavior analysis data, a first type of motion associated with the first set of time periods and a second type of stop associated with the second set of time periods to form behavior metrics; and output the behavior metrics.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a system and method for uploading large files to a remote server faster. The system and method divide the file into smaller file chunks and utilize parallel thread execution to prepare and upload the file chunks to the remote server. The uploading may further utilize a plurality of HTTP connections. Once all chunks have been uploaded to the remote server, the chunks may be consolidated into the original file by using content tokens and chunk numbers associated with the uploaded chunks.

Abstract: Systems and methods for message timestamp re-alignment for message thread consistency across multiple devices are disclosed. In some implementations, an outbound message originating at a mobile phone is received at an integrated messaging server. The outbound message is associated with a messaging protocol. A timestamp representing a send time for the outbound message associated with the messaging protocol at the mobile phone is determined, at the integrated messaging server, by receiving an indication of the send time from the mobile phone. The outbound message and the timestamp are stored at the integrated messaging server. The outbound message and the timestamp representing the send time for the outbound message are provided from the integrated messaging server to a client computing device different from the mobile phone.

Abstract: Protection against security attacks involves monitoring network traffic for a computing device security attack and determining whether there is a security event, using one or more network based security tools. Next, it is determined whether an event pattern involving two or more security events meets a predetermined criteria. Upon determining that there is a security attack, corrective action is tailored, based on the type of the computing device, the operating system of the computing device, the type of security attack, and/or the available protection tools. A course of action is performed depending on whether an account of the computing device includes a security protection service. If there is a security protection service, a message is sent over a secure link to the computing device. This message includes the corrective action to cure the computing device from the security attack.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a video service provider system, a security markup assertion language (SAML) token encrypted for a partner federated security token service (FSTS) device from a client device. The method includes submitting the SAML token to the partner FSTS device in exchange for a partner SAML token. The partner SAML token is encrypted for a partner account device. The method also includes receiving the partner SAML token, and sending the partner SAML token to the client device. The client device is configured to request an access token from the partner account device based on the partner SAML token and to submit an encrypted message including credit card information to the partner account device based on the access token.

The transmitter may send a notification to each of a plurality of communication devices, the notification including an indication of a number of new voicemail messages in the voicemail mailbox, an indication of a total number of voicemail messages in the voicemail mailbox, and an identifier of a most recent voicemail message in the voicemail mailbox, where each of the plurality of communication devices uses the notification signal to determine whether to request a list of voicemail messages. The receiver may receive, from one of the communication devices in response to the notification, a request for the list of voicemail messages associated with voicemail message information stored in the database. The transmitter may sends, to the one of the plurality of communications devices, the list of voicemail messages.

Abstract: One or more server devices may determine a measure of popularity of multiple content items; select particular content to be provided via a multicast channel when the measure of popularity of the particular content satisfies a threshold; generate a notification regarding the availability of the particular content; and provide the notification to one or more user devices for display on the one or more user devices to notify respective users regarding the availability of the content. The notification may be received by the one or more user devices outside of a multicast control channel. The one or more servers may transmit the particular content via the multicast channel.

Abstract: A translation device may receive configuration information that identifies traffic associated with messages for managing a network device via a console session with the network device. The translation device may receive a message via an air interface of a cellular network, and may compare a first parameter identified in the configuration information and a second parameter of the message. The translation device may determine that the message includes an administration message based on comparing the first parameter and the second parameter. The translation device may translate the administration message from a first format, received via the air interface, to a second format, for transmission to a console port of the network device, and may provide the translated administration message, via a wired connection, to the console port of the network device. The translated administration message may cause the network device to execute an instruction included in the translated administration message.

The first server device may receive a message associated with a user device identifier; determine that the message is to be archived when the user device identifier associated with the message is included in the third list; and provide the message to a second server device based on the determination that the message is to be archived.

Abstract: Examples perform context categorization by categorizing a transcription of a speech file based on the context of the subject matter of the transcription. A computer processor is configuration to provide a system that generates a normalized transcription of the speech file transcription and compares elements of the normalized transcription to elements of a context categorization model or a corpus of categorized transcriptions to determine whether the normalized transcription contains keywords of transcriptions that have previously been categorized. If the comparison yields a result indicating a specific match with a context category, the normalized transcription is assigned to the matching context category. As the number of successfully categorized transcriptions stored in the corpus increases, the more frequently the system and method examples perform successful comparisons. As a result, the context categorization accuracy increases and the system appears to learn.
