Abstract: A system and method for exposing internal search indices to Internet search engines. The internal search indices are exposed to external search engines in such a way that the data may be segregated into at least two types including one layer of search data specifically for the search engines, and another for potential users of the application. This significantly improves the probability of discovery by search engines and also provides for presentation of discovered content to users in a manner consistent with the content itself, or consistent with the intended controls or presentations established by the content's owner. The system and method also includes one or more components that reproduce information about IP in a format that search engines can recognize and locate.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a Proxied Contact Management System (PCMS) so that individual owners of personal contact data may control and manage the access and dissemination of their personal data and also control who may contact them. The owner of personal contact data may securely register the data with a secured information vault of the PCMS and specify which other parties may contact them. In this way, duplication of the personal data is avoided, but at the same time is always current. In use, a second party's device, such as a telephone or a PDA may request that the PCMS, under public key infrastructure (PKI) control, establish a connection with the first party. Once verified, the PCMS may establish a proxy connection between the first and second parties according to the permitted mode of communication defined by criteria established by the first party and managed by the PCMS.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product controlling a capture of data. In one embodiment, the process identifies a location from locale identifier data to form an identified location in response to receiving the locale identifier data. The locale identifier data is associated with a location of the digital life recorder. In addition, the identified location is associated with a set of usage policies. The process then determines whether the set of usage policies restricts the capture of data by the digital life recorder at the identified location or whether the set of usage policies restricts playback of the data by a playback system. Thereafter, the process disables a set of sensors while the digital life recorder is in the presence of the locale identifier in response to determining that the set of usage policies restricts the capture of data.

Abstract: The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing usage policies for data recorded with a digital life recorder. A usage profile sensor determines whether a broadcast of a usage profile is detected. A usage profile sensor receives the broadcast of the usage profile in response to a first determination that the broadcast of the usage profile is detected, wherein the usage profile comprises a usage policy. A usage profile processor determines whether the usage profile is currently being tracked. A usage profile processor records a start date, a start time, and usage profile information into a tracking table in response to a second determination that the usage profile is not currently being tracked.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the playback of video recorded by a sensing subsystem of a digital life recorder. The process identifies a selected video feed recorded by a camera of a sensing subsystem responsive to receiving user input. A segment of video from the selected video feed is identified using a personal computing device communicating with a digital life recorder. The digital life recorder records the selected video feed. A playback restriction associated with the segment of video is identified and generates a set of commands for restricting playback of the segment of video. A processor may then execute the set of commands.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a secured information vault so that individual owners of personal data may control and manage the access and dissemination of the personal data. The system and method provides for the owner of the personal data to receive compensation for the use of the personal data, thus, in effect, the personal data becomes a valuable commodity analogous to money. Centralized protected storage of personal data is provided, which minimizes the number of copies that may be in existence. The personal data may be converted from one format to another by subscribing to format conversion services provide by the vault. The vault regularly updates stored personal data per the subscribed services so that the personal data is available in the latest data formats used by various industries. A fee may be charged for format conversions.

Abstract: A method and/or computer system dynamically manages screen real estate of a remote computer's display. A first computer receives an initial state of screen real estate of a remote second computer's display on a portable computing device, where the initial state describes information displayed on the remote second computer's display. The first computer detects a change to an external physical environment of the remote second computer's display from one location to another location within a same building. The first computer then adjusts the initial state of the screen real estate in order to remotely create an adjusted state of the remote second computer's screen real estate, where the adjusted state comports with the change to the physical location of the remote second computer's display, and where the adjusted state alters an appearance of the information displayed on the remote second computer's display.

Abstract: Digital data can be escrowed by receiving escrow parameters including a condition(s) for releasing the escrowed data, and an escrow recipient. An escrow contract is then created based upon the specified escrow parameters. The escrowing further includes storing the digital data in a secure information vault, and storing the escrow contract, along with a pointer to the stored data, in a database. When the condition has been satisfied, the data is released to the escrow recipient. The condition(s) for release can be a payment sum, a date, an indication from a depositor, a trustee or a vault administrator, and/or fulfillment of another escrow contract.

Abstract: Collections of displays are created from a number of displays, based on display attributes of each display, to yield display collection attributes for each collection. It is determined whether any of a number of messages should be displayed on any of the collections of displays, based at least on message attributes of each message and on the display collection attributes of each collection. Where it has been determined that a given message should be displayed on a given collection of displays, at least a portion of the given message is transmitted to each display within the given collection to display the given message on the given collection of displays. The displays may be movable displays on vehicles and that are functional while the vehicles are moving, billboard displays on billboards along a road, stationary displays on buildings within a given location, or other types of displays.
