Abstract: An e-mail relay provides message filtering services to an e-mail network. The e-mail relay monitors incoming communication and intercepts e-mail messages. The e-mail relay compares attributes of the messages to data derived from SPAM messages, which are stored in a SPAM database. The e-mail relay restricts the delivery of messages based on the comparison such as by restricting the delivery of messages having attributes close to those of SPAM messages from the SPAM database. The SPAM database is constructed by responding to user or administrator indications as to whether received messages are SPAM messages.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for prefetching music for devices. The disclosed method includes detecting an access to a music library through a device. The music library is associated with a user music account and is managed in cloud music storage. The disclose method further includes monitoring use activities for the user music account and the use activities of selected songs in the music library are adjustable for relevance based on assigned weightings. One or more songs from the music library that satisfy a prefetching constraint based on the monitored use activities are identified. The songs that satisfy the prefetching constraint are tagged for transferring to the device. The tagged songs are transferred to the device without receiving a user initiated request for the tagged songs.

Abstract: Content stored on a server may be selected using a user device and enabled on a central device. The identity of the central device may be authenticated without transmitting user credentials corresponding to the user, user device, user account, etc. A central device identifier can be sent to the server via the user device. An encrypted version of the central device identifier may be returned to the user device and to the central device. The central device can send the encrypted and unencrypted version of the identifier to the server, and the server can transmit the desired content to the remote device based on a comparison of the encrypted and unencrypted identifier.

Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically downloading and storing media on a mobile device are provided. A method at a mobile device includes an auto-storing process, which includes receiving, at a first time within a predefined time range, a first set of media items. The first set of media items may be based on a user media preference. Next, at a second time within the predefined time range, it may be determined that at least a portion of the first set of media items has been activated. Based on the activated media items, at least one user media activation characteristic may be determined. In response to determining that at least a portion of the first set of media items has been activated, a second set of media items based on the user media activation characteristic may be received.

Abstract: In general, a method includes receiving a request to present a file inventory on a display associated with the computing device, the file inventory graphically representing a plurality of files stored across two or more physical locations, accessing a first file stored on a local storage device of the computing device to record first information associated with the first file, accessing a second file stored on a remote storage device to record second information associated with the second file, generating the file inventory, the file inventory including the first information and the second information, and presenting the file inventory on the display.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for de-duplicating electronic content based on comparing metadata. In one aspect, a method includes comparing first metadata associated with a first item of electronic content to second metadata associated with a second item of electronic content, and generating a score based on the comparison. The method also includes establishing that the first and second items of electronic content comprise potentially duplicate content when the score is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and providing information identifying either the first or second items of electronic content for display when establishing that the first and second items of electronic content comprise potentially duplicate content.
