Abstract: A display apparatus is provided, including: an output including output circuitry and configured to output content; a communicator including communication circuitry and configured to receive a signal including sensing information from a wearable device; and a controller including processing circuitry and configured to determine whether the wearable device is within an available zone to allow a viewer to watch the content, based on a received signal strength and the sensing information.

Abstract: A system and method for content-based message distribution are provided. An incoming message with a recipient address and a tag address including at least one content tag associated with one or more users is received. The content tag within the tag address and a recipient associated with the recipient address are identified. The recipient is added to the content tag as one of the users. The incoming message is displayed to at least one of the users associated with the content tag.

Abstract: A method and system for extracting from a web log for a given entity information comprising web page events. The information gain in the sequence of navigating from a given web page to a subsequent web page is computed for at least some of the web page events. The information gain is used to determine a set of web pages from which users can decide to navigate to a first web page or a second web page, wherein navigating to the first web page is more likely to lead to a conversion than navigating to the second web page. A list of at least a subset of the set of web pages is transmitted to the entity, which can use the list to determine web pages at which the entity can place advertising material to motivate a user to navigate to the first web page. The computing may be performed by MapReduce processing.

Abstract: A system and method for triaging of information feeds is provided. A plurality of information feeds are received. At least one topic is identified from each information feed. At least one topic is presented to a user in topic facet including a plurality of identified topics. A selection of one of the plurality of topics is received from the user. The user interface is updated to display only the feeds that contain the selected topic.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying topics for short text communications is provided. Tokens are extracted from a short text communication. A query is generated using the extracted tokens. The query is applied to a set of documents. Those documents in the set that match the query are identified as search results. Salient terms associated with each of the search results are identified. A threshold is applied to the identified salient terms. The salient terms that satisfy the threshold are selected as topics for the short text communication.

Abstract: A system and method for content tagging and distribution through email are provided. A user-to-tag record including content tags, each associated with one or more users, is maintained. An incoming email message with a tag address is received. The tag address is processed to identify a content tag, which is applied to the user-to-tag record. Users associated with the identified content tag are determined. The incoming email message is provided to the associated users.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying users relevant to a topic of interest is provided. A query comprising one or more topics is executed against a corpus of messages. Voting users associated with the messages matching the query are identified. A set of candidate users comprising users connected to the voting users is generated. A relevancy score is computed for each candidate user. The candidate users are ranked by their respective relevancy score.
