Abstract: A client computer with one or more processors and memory transmits, to a server system, a search query including one or more query terms and receives, from the sever system, a response to the search query including a search result. The client computer displays a representation of a respective message from the search result, where the respective message includes a message body and a respective attachment with attachment content. When the attachment content of the respective attachment includes content that matches a query term from the search query, displaying the respective message includes highlighting a representation of the respective attachment in the message. When the attachment content of the respective attachment does not include content that matches a query term from the search query, displaying the respective message includes forgoing highlighting the representation of the respective attachment in the message.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of scheduling transmissions for a base station in a multi-carrier wireless communication network comprises scheduling initial transmissions of data packets for one or more users on a first carrier, without reserving scheduling capacity on the first carrier for retransmissions. Doing so increases the scheduled capacity of the first carrier for initial transmissions. The method further includes scheduling retransmissions, as needed, for given ones of the data packets on one or more second carriers. The method allows more traffic to be scheduled on the first carrier, meaning that multi-carrier transmissions are less frequently needed to convey all of the traffic targeted to one or more receivers. Those receivers therefore spend more time operating with a reduced receiver bandwidth (as compared to the bandwidth required for receiving more than one carrier), which reduces operating power.

In some exemplary embodiments, after a user is recognized, the jukebox system allows users to access a special front-end via an Internet-enabled device or on an actual jukebox. Then, the user may, for example, create playlists, share songs with friends, send messages to friends, and access other value-added content. Such a system preferably learns about networks of friends, and enables managers to send similar messages to regular customers and/or others known to the system. In some exemplary embodiments, changes via a first user interface on a first device are reflected on second user interface on other properly-configured devices.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product of prioritizing network services is provided. Such prioritization may comprise a better level of service, more timely system response and/or preferential treatment of traffic. In an embodiment, prioritization is controlled by defining modes and levels of prioritization typically based on criteria, such as the value of a transaction, the standing of a user, or the type of transaction. Prioritization can also be established, for example, for a length of time or for a given transaction. The modes of prioritization may comprise remapping TCP ports to which a communication is directed, remapping uniform resource locators and/or Internet Protocol addresses to which a communication is directed and/or tagging communications with quality of service information. The levels of prioritization define the type(s) of priority service offered to a user, such as timeliness of system response and preference of traffic treatment, and may be arbitrarily defined.
