Abstract: One aspect of this disclosure relates to presenting a user with a stimulus to elicit user interaction with a task on a computing platform associated with the user. The stimulus may be presented on the computing platform when a set of triggering criteria is satisfied. The stimulus includes a task for the user to complete. The stimulus prompts the user to complete the task. The task includes a set of task criteria for completion. Responsive to the user satisfying the set of task criteria, the user is presented with one or more options to modify the stimulus. The user may be continuously prompted by the stimulus until the set of task criteria is satisfied.

Abstract: A method (200) and apparatus for determining whether a network (111) associated with a foreign agent (104) is multiple IP address interface compatible in a mobile node (101) is provided. The foreign agent (104), upon detection of the mobile node (101), composes an agent advertisement (400) that includes one or more flag bits (405). The foreign agent (104) sets one of the one or more flag bits (405) to indicate multiple IP address interface compatibility. Upon receiving the agent advertisement (400), the mobile node (101) configures itself for multiple IP address interface datagram communication. Where the mobile node (101) has not already received a primary IP address (617) from the foreign agent (104), it requests one. The mobile node (101) then requests a secondary IP address (618) from a home agent (103) through the foreign agent (104).

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display screen, a backlight for illuminating the display screen, and a timer for indicating the expiration of a given time period, wherein when the backlight is first turned on, the timer is initialized to indicate if the expiration of a first predetermined illumination time period occurs. An image capture component is operable to acquire one or more images of a scene in front of the display screen; and a processor is operable to analyze the one or more images to determine whether a user is present in front of the display screen, to control the timer if a user is determined to be present such that the timer is reset to indicate if the expiration of a second predetermined illumination time period occurs, and to control the backlight to dim it or turn it off if the timer indicates an expiration has occurred.
