The attribute of the voice message may include at least one of a word, a phrase, a voice timbre, a duration of a pause between two words, a volume a voice and an ambient sound voice and a duration of a pause between two words. The context data may be selected according to a meaning of the attribute of the voice-message component.

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes the step of providing an image to a user. The image is provided with a computer display, An eye-tracking data is obtained from the user when the user views the image. The eye-tracking data is obtained with an eye-tracking system. A user attribute is determined based on the eye-tracking data. The user is enabled to access a digital resource when the user attribute is associated with a permission to access the digital resource. The user attribute can be a personhood state. The digital resource can be a web page document. An instruction can be provided to the user regarding a pattern of viewing the image. The pattern of viewing the image can include instructing the user to gaze on a specified sequence of image elements.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method and article of manufacture for calculation of higher-order data from context data are disclosed. An application program interface receives a set of context data in conjunction with a calculation module. A calculation module calculates a higher-order data using the set of context data. A signal-generation module embeds the higher-order data in a telecommunication signal. The calculation module may create a coordinate space for the set of context data. The calculation module may define a property of the coordinate space. The calculation module operates to define a function that describes a relation between each member of the set of context data.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture of a context-data acquisition and ranking. A context-data type is determined from a query. At least one context-data source that provides the context-data type is identified. A request for a context data of the context-data type is generated from the at least one context data source. A received context data from the at least one context data source according a specified parameter may be ranked. The received context data may be provided to the device that generated a short message. The received context data may be provided to a recipient mobile device. The received context data may be associated with a component of a short message generated by a device that generated the query. The received context data may be appended to the short message.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture of an association of context data with a text-message component. A context data is associated with a text-message component. The association between the context data and the text-message component may be indicated with a user interface. The association between the context data and the text-message component may be embedded in a text-message signal. The association between the context data and the text-message component may be embedded in a short message service (SMS) signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system and apparatus of a smart device configured to determine higher-order context data. In one aspect, an apparatus includes a sensor to acquire a context data. The context data provides information of an attribute of an event within the range of the sensor. A processor analyzes an attribute of the context data and determines a higher-order context data. A message generator generates a supplemental context message transmittable through a network. The supplemental context message includes the higher-order context data. A network interface device communicatively couples the apparatus to the network.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture for context-enriched microblog posting. In one aspect, a message component is provided.
