Abstract: An identifier for first set of display content on a vehicle display is input to a statistical model that outputs a plurality of probabilities that a user input will select each of a plurality of second set of display contents for display after the first set of display content is displayed. A first probability is identified for a predicted set of display content that is a highest probability in the plurality of probabilities. The plurality of probabilities are provided to at least one of an optimization model and a neural network upon determining an accuracy of the statistical model is below a threshold. Upon receiving, from the at least one of the optimization model and the neural network, a second probability for the predicted set of display content, the display content is selected based on the first and second probabilities. The vehicle display is updated based on the selected set of display content.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a first controller; and a second controller, wherein the first controller is programmed to responsive to detecting a failure, generate a failure event, identify the second controller as related to the failure event, identify logs of the first controller and second controller as related to the failure event, collect logs of the first controller, and transmit a failure message including a request for the logs of the second controller to the second controller, and the second controller is programmed to responsive to receiving the failure message from the first controller, collect logs of the second controller as requested, and send a request for a security token to a server, and responsive to receiving the security token from the server, upload the logs of the second controller, as collected using the security token, to the server, and send the security token to the first controller.

Abstract: A memory stores call records to a plurality of contacts. A processor is programmed to determine probabilities of calling contacts according to current contextual information and call inferences determined from clusters of a context-encoded model created from the call records, each cluster corresponding to a unique combination of ranges of values of the contextual information; and identify the most likely next contact to call as the one of the plurality of contacts having a highest of the probabilities.

Abstract: An offer is played during a content stream, the offer including a tracking characteristic. The tracking characteristic is stored in a vehicle memory. Vehicle travel data corresponding to the tracking characteristic is recorded, responsive to storing the tracking characteristic. At least one change in vehicle behavior indicated by the recorded data is identified, based on comparison to previously recorded vehicle data. The change in vehicle behavior, the recorded data, and an identification of the offer is reported responsive to identifying the change in vehicle behavior.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to store a buffer of accelerable broadcast content. The processor is also configured to determine that a predefined condition exists, defining a situation where content acceleration is appropriate. The processor is further configured to determine a broadcast content playback point where content should be accelerated and playback a predetermined portion of the buffer at a predefined accelerated pace, responsive to reaching the playback point.

Abstract: An attachment server network including at least two attachment servers in communication with one another, each of the attachment servers for converting email attachments in response to view requests received from portable electronic devices, each of the attachment servers having a respective cache for storing data corresponding to previously converted attachments, the data being available to any of the attachment servers in the attachment server network.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for visually representing the probability of spam messages on a mobile communication device. In an embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining a probability that a message is spam; and for each of one or more messages in a message list, visually representing the probability that a message is spam such that any differences in the probabilities as between messages are discernable from the visual representation. In another embodiment, the method further comprises: determining the percentage of the message downloaded to the mobile communication device; and displaying for each of one or more messages appearing in the message list an object or icon visually representing at least one of the probability that the message is spam, or the percentage of the message downloaded to the mobile communication device.

Abstract: A calendar application for use with a first portable electronic device includes time-dependent events having a start time and an end time and proximity-dependent events having a specified device ID that corresponds to a second portable electronic device. Both the time-dependent events and the proximity-dependent events are stored in the calendar application and the proximity-dependent event is convertible into a time-dependent event. A proximity reminder is generated when the second portable electronic device is in short range radio frequency communication range of the first portable electronic device.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for delivering a message to a communication device. In an embodiment, the method comprises obtaining a probability that the message is spam; in dependence upon the probability that the message is spam, determining a variable message size; and sending the message to the communication device in dependence upon the determined variable message size. In an embodiment, the method further comprises receiving a user response whether the message is spam; and if the message is verified as being spam, then filtering the message from the communication device.

Abstract: A method, mobile device and activation server for wirelessly activating a mobile communication device at an activation server sends an activation summary to the mobile communication device in response to receiving a request for activation. The activation summary provides notification of a number of services that can be activated on the mobile communication device. Responsive to receiving a selection of at least one of the services, the method downloads at least one of configuration information and routing information for the selected service to the mobile communication device.

Abstract: Portable electronic devices typically have reduced computing resources, including reduced screen size. The method, apparatus and system of the present specification provides, amongst other things, an intermediation server configured to access network content that is requested by a portable electronic device and to analyze the content including analyzing images in that content. The intermediation server is further configured to accommodate the computing resources of the portable electronic device as part of fulfilling content requests from the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A method of activating security functions on a computer device, for example a mobile communications device. The computer device includes a device state that may be realized by way of a first user input or a second user input. The method includes designating the first user input to realize the device state as a security rule having an associated security function, detecting realization of the device state, and activating the associated security function if the device state was realized by way of the second user input rather than the first user input. For example, the first user input may be a shortcut input, and the second user input may be a conventional or normal input.

Abstract: A system and method to automatically park a voice call on a mobile electronic device so that the device can receive data, comprising a switch for establishing a voice call at the at least one caller device, a database for storing at least one call processing rule, and an enterprise data server for receiving a data message, comparing contents of the data message with at least one rule in the database, and in the event that the contents match the rule then parking the call, switching the mobile electronic device to a data mode of operation, downloading the data message to the device and un-parking the call.
