Abstract: A method of operation of a compute system includes: receiving a vehicle-related sensor reading in a real-time; determining in the real-time a theft level indicator for a vehicle based on the vehicle-related sensor reading; generating a theft alert based on the theft level indicator being a priority event; analyzing the vehicle-related sensor reading with a theft risk model to generate the theft alert when the theft level indicator is a non-priority event; and communicating the theft alert for displaying on a device.

Abstract: Enriching trajectory data from a device may include determining, using a processor, enrichment data items related to points of presence within trajectory data. The enrichment data items may be retrieved from a data source. Enriching trajectory data may also include determining, using the processor, ranking metrics for the enrichment data items and ranking, using the processor, the enrichment data items according to the ranking metrics. One or more ranked enrichment data items, in association with the related point of presence of the trajectory data, may be provided to a device using the processor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for restricting disclosure of information about a network device during a Remote Access (RA) service are provided, in which a virtual device is activated by an RA service device, a device or service for which information is to be disclosed to an external network is determined from among devices discovered by the RA service device and registered as an embedded device or service of the virtual device, a device description of the virtual device including the embedded device or service is dynamically generated, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the RA service device, from which the device description of the virtual device is acquired, is generated and opened to a device of the other party which has remotely accessed the RA service device, and the device description of the virtual device is provided, upon receipt of a request for the device description of the virtual device through the URL.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a cloud-based temporary app management system. In one aspect of the invention, a cloud service provides a temporary app from a vendor. The temporary app is a mobile application that is temporarily accessible on a mobile device when a designated event (e.g. a change in the location or surroundings of the mobile device, a particular type of data stored in the mobile device, etc.) is detected by a mobile device. The cloud service receives event information from the mobile device. The event information indicates an event detected by the mobile device. The cloud service then determines whether to make the temporary app accessible on the mobile device based on an analysis of the designated event and the event information received from the mobile device.

Abstract: A system implementing a method for providing sponsored information on an electronic device determines information of interest to the user as relevant information, accesses sponsored information, and provides sponsored information based on said relevant information.

Abstract: A method and system that implement a process for managing video information on a video recording device. The management process involves receiving a video input signal including a video stream, obtaining content information corresponding to the video stream, associating the content information with the video stream, and storing the video stream and associated content information in a database as a searchable index for the video stream. The searchable index includes location of the stored video stream and identifies the associated content information. Then, content information from an input signal corresponding to a video stream is captured for analysis and searching the index to identify stored video streams related to the video program for suggestion to the user.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer implemented method, a system, and/or a non-transitory computer readable medium can receive an actionable rule that represents user intent to share media data. The actionable rule can be analyzed to determine a set of conditions and a set of actions included in the actionable rule. The actionable rule, including the set of conditions and the set of actions, can be stored in a rule database. Context data can be acquired from a context database. Whether or not the set of conditions is satisfied based on the acquired context data can be determined. The set of actions can be executed when the set of conditions is satisfied based on the acquired context data. In some cases, executing the set of actions can include, at least in part, initiating a sharing of the media data with at least one target system.
