Abstract: A method includes determining that a legacy application is executing on a client device. When the legacy application is open in the client device, an adoption rule is applied, wherein the adoption rule defines an instance in which a user is required to use a replacement application instead of the legacy application. When it is determined that the adoption rule is satisfied, the replacement application is executed and use of the legacy application is prevented.

The method may further include one or more of: streaming video from a security camera onboard the automobile, streaming video from a public security camera near the automobile, or sending a report to a law enforcement entity.

Abstract: A system and method for a dynamic navigational system may include a server configured to send event information associated with an event to a user device. The event information may include a general event location. The server may also be configured to receive a user response to the event information and send a focused event location to the user device in response to the user response selecting to attend the event. The focused event location may be located within the general event location.

Abstract: A network device receives, across a network, measurements of channel tuning times from multiple, different set-top boxes (STBs), where the channel tuning times are measured internally within each of the multiple, different STBs. The network device stores the measurements of the channel tuning times as data in a data structure and analyzes channel tuning behavior of at least one of the multiple, different STBs based on the data stored in the data structure. The network device generates a report of the channel tuning behavior of the at least one of the multiple, different STBs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a wireless automobile key service are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting whether the mobile device is connected to the automobile over a first network, launching a wireless automobile key service application on the mobile device when it is detected that the mobile device is connected to the automobile over the first network, and receiving, via the application from an operator of the automobile using the mobile device, a request to issue a command to the automobile. The method further includes determining whether the requested command is a first command or a second command. The method further includes when the requested command is a first command, sending, from the mobile device to a server over a second network, a request to issue the first command to the automobile.

Abstract: An approach for regulating the allocation of network bandwidth capacity based on user responsiveness to advertisement content is described. A bandwidth allocation platform determines, based on a metering of content delivered to a device via a network, the amount of content delivered is approaching a predetermined threshold of bandwidth allocated to the device by a provider of the network. The bandwidth allocation platform further determines, based on a monitoring of a duration or type of interaction or response of a user, an amount of additional bandwidth to be allocated to the device.

Abstract: Method, device, and storage medium for providing an advertisement platform that allows users to purchase advertisement space on user devices. The advertisement platform delivers the advertisements to the user devices. The advertisement platform uses information from the users of the user devices to identify the available advertisement space. The advertisement platform calculates credits to be applied to services associated with the users of the user devices based on the available advertisement space offered by the users of the user devices.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a subscription event for a digital service subscription for digital content. A billing cycle for the digital content is identified. The method includes determining whether an associated credit cycle for physical content is based on the identified billing cycle. The method also includes determining a billing action for the digital content based on the identified subscription event and the identified billing cycle. A credit action for physical content credits is determined based on the identified subscription event and the associated credit cycle in response to a determination that the associated credit cycle is based on the identified billing cycle. The method further includes determining a credit action for the physical content credits based on the identified subscription event and a maximum credit counter in response to a determination that the associated credit cycle is not based on the identified billing cycle.

Abstract: A parking lot management system determines a current parking space inventory for one or more parking lots using a parking database. The parking lot management system receives, via a network, a location associated with a parking customer, and identifies a parking lot of the one or more parking lots currently having available parking spaces based on the customer's location. The parking lot management system sends, via the network, at least one of a current occupancy, parking rates, or a location of the identified parking lot to the parking customer. The parking lot management system further receives a parking space reservation inquiry from the parking customer, and identifies a parking space from the identified parking lot based on the parking customer's location.
