Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern fingerprint-based, intelligent, content pre-fetching. An example apparatus may have a memory that is configured to store content items or fingerprints derived from content items. The apparatus may include a set of logics that are configured to selectively asynchronously provide a content item or a fingerprint derived from the content item to a data store on a mobile computing device. The items are provided in response to an event other than a request for content from the mobile computing device. The apparatus may be configured to select the content item based on a proactive, crowd-sourced, predictive and adaptive method. The apparatus may provide the content item or the fingerprint to the mobile device and to other related mobile devices or users. The apparatus may consider the state (e.g., available memory, available battery, available communication channels) of the mobile device before providing content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dispersing search engine results by category. A search engine application queries a searchable index of document data associated with a plurality of electronic documents in response to a search request to identify one or more electronic documents having document data matching data included in the search request. The search engine application disperses identified electronic documents according to category data included in the document data for display to a user.

Abstract: Evaluating an electronic document in connection with a search. An external source provides data for use in evaluating an electronic document retrieved by a search engine. A first confidence level of the electronic document is determined based on the externally provided data. The first confidence level indicates a likelihood that the electronic document is undesirable. A second confidence level of the electronic document is determined based on attributes of the electronic document. The second confidence level indicates a likelihood that the electronic document is unsatisfactory with respect to a search. A rating for the electronic document generated as a function of the determined first confidence level and the determined second confidence level is used to categorize the electronic document as unsatisfactory in connection with a received search request.

Abstract: A user control point tool allows generic discovery, control, and display of Universal Plug and Play devices from a common user interface. This generic UCP tool provides a common user experience for all UPnP devices, regardless of their individual manufacturers. The generic UCP tool allows discovery of UPnP devices by type, by unique device name, or asynchronously. The user may select one of the discovered devices, view its properties, and select one of the services provided for that device to control. Additional information from a service description document may be viewed, and a user may query the value of the state variables and invoke an action for a service for the selected UPnP device. The results of the action are displayed on the tool's UI, as is the eventing information for the UPnP device. Status information for operation of the generic UCP tool itself is also provided.
