Abstract: A holder includes a first outer sheet, a second outer sheet, and a handled portion. A base portion, a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion are formed on the second outer sheet. A latching piece is formed on the base portion, the latching piece having a bendable portion. The first supporting portion is folded relative to the base portion, and the second supporting portion is folded relative to the first supporting portion until the second supporting portion is held by the latching piece, the base portion, the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion cooperatively form a three-dimensional structure that can support the portable electronic device at an angle relative to the second outer sheet without collapsing.

Abstract: A foldable holder for holding and supporting a portable electronic device includes at least one sheet. A base plate, a first main supporting plate, a second main supporting plate, two first side supporting plates, and two second side supporting plates located on the at least one sheet sheet. The base plate, the first main supporting plate and the second main supporting plate are foldable relative to each other. When the holder is folded, the base plate, the first main supporting plate, the first side supporting plates, and the second side supporting plates cooperatively form a three-dimensional structure that can support the portable electronic device at an angle relative to the at least one sheet without collapsing.

Abstract: A foldable holder for holding and supporting a portable electronic device includes a first outer sheet, a second outer sheet, a handle portion extending from the first outer sheet and the second outer sheet configured for being handled. A base plate, a first main supporting plate, a second main supporting plate, two first side supporting plates, and two second side supporting plates located on the second outer sheet. When the holder is folded, the base plate, the first main supporting plate, the first side supporting plates, and the second side supporting plates cooperatively form a three-dimensional structure that can support the portable electronic device at an angle relative to the second outer sheet without collapsing.

Abstract: A holder is for supporting a portable electronic device, including at least one sheet. A base portion, a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion formed on the at least one sheet. The base portion, the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion are parallel with each other and folded relative to each other. A latching piece is formed on the base portion, the latching piece having a bendable portion. The first supporting portion is folded relative to the base portion, and the second supporting portion is folded relative to the first supporting portion until the second supporting portion is held by the latching piece, the base portion, the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion cooperatively form a three-dimensional structure that can support the portable electronic device at an angle relative to the at least one sheet without collapsing.

Abstract: Methods and a computing device are disclosed. A computing device may include a managed device having embedded firmware. When a failure occurs with respect to the managed device, drivers within the computing device may collect failure data from a driver stack of the computing device and from the managed device. The computing device may send the collected failure data to one or more second computing devices to be stored and analyzed. The computing device may include a health monitor for periodically collecting telemetry data from the computing device and the managed device. When the health monitor becomes aware of conditions indicative of a possible impending failure, the health monitor may trigger collection of sickness telemetry data from the computing device and the managed device. Collected data from the managed device may be made available to a vendor of the managed device.

Abstract: A method and system for improving the quality of original metadata associated with media on a computer network, such as multimedia and streaming media, includes analyzing each field of the URL of the multimedia and streaming media. Each field is analyzed to identify new metadata associated with that field. Identified new metadata is added to the original metadata. In another embodiment, the fields in the URL are reorganized in reverse order and metadata associated with a prefix of fields of the reorganized URL is added to the original metadata. In yet another embodiment, the contents of the field next to the prefix of fields is used to improve the quality of the original metadata.

Abstract: A method and system for utilizing metadata to search for media, such as multimedia and streaming media, includes searching for the media, receiving results, extracting metadata associated with the media, enhancing the extracted metadata, and grouping the search results in accordance with attributes of the enhanced metadata. Enhancing and grouping include adding related metadata to the database of metadata, iteratively using metadata to search for more media related data, removing duplicate URLs, collapsing URLs that are variants of each other, and masking out superfluous terms from URLs. The resultant metadata and media files are available to users and search engines.

Abstract: A system and method for extracting information, such as metadata, from a media object, such as a multimedia object or a streaming media object, utilizes a single device (44) to extract the information from a plurality of media objects having different formats. The media object is examined to determine its format (40). The media object is then provided to a multi-format extractor (44), wherein information is extracted from the media object in accordance with the appropriate format. The extracted information is compiled (46) into a singular data structure, such that the format of the universal data structure is compatible with a plurality of media object formats (30).

Abstract: A system and method for searching a network for target content, such as media files, decompose encountered web pages into frafments (218). Each fragment is searched for character patterns, which relate to the target content (220). The results of each fragment search are combined (226) to provide network-based search results to a user, agent, and/or system (228). The system and method search a network in a more efficient manner, and utilize less memory and processing resources, than prior art search engines and/or agents. This is especially applicable to target content that comprises streaming media, multimedia, and metadata related thereto, because of the large amounts of data that are processed.
