Patent number: 11936702Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Tuneln, Inc.Inventors: Moksha Adyanthaya, Paul Brody, Scott Collins, Jack Kim, Sarah Kate Emerson, Yuri Ono, Eric Wilcox, Richard Stern, Nicole Erthein, Devki Kalra, Joseph King, Joseph Gomez

Patent number: 8914368Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for cross-service tagging is provided. The method includes creating connections to multiple applications, each application having multiple entities. Relationships are determined between the entities within a single application and between entities across multiple applications. A tag is associated with a selected one of the entities in a first one of the multiple applications. Entities in other applications besides the first application are identified that are related to the selected entity, based on the determined relationships. The tag is propagated across multiple applications by associating the tag with the identified entities in the other applications. According to a second embodiment of the present invention, a method for inferring tags suggestions is provided. This method includes analyzing email messages to create keywords from text analysis, from bringing content and tags from other email messages or directory applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hernan Badenes, Julian Ariel Cerruti, Stephen Michael Dill, Julia Haven Grace, Nicolas Lanaro, Jerald Thomas Schoudt, John C Tang, Eric Wilcox
