Abstract: Electronic sensors co-locate two subject-related persons. A first positioning system on a first communication device determines a first location of a first person within a physical retail store at which a particular type of product is displayed. The first communication device receives a message from a second communication device describing a second location of a second person, who has been predetermined to have used the particular type of product that is displayed at the first location. The first communication device transmits a message to the second communication device requesting that the second person meet the first person at the first location to discuss products being displayed at the first location. The first communication device receives a responsive message indicating an agreement from the second person to meet the first person at the first location, and then transmits, to the second communication device, navigational directions from the second location to the first location.

Abstract: A method, system or computer usable program product for dynamically changing transparency of portions of a vehicle transparent material including determining a location of a bright light with respect to a vehicle; determining a driver location within the vehicle; selectively changing a transparency of a selected portion of the vehicle transparent material to obscure the bright light from the driver's eyes, while allowing a majority of the vehicle transparent material to remain normally transparent; and repeating the above steps continually to adjust a location of the selected portion of the vehicle transparent material as the vehicle changes orientation with respect to the bright light.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for collaborative caching of files during a collaboration session includes receiving a request from a first electronic device for a first file. The method determines whether the first file is stored in one or more caches, wherein the one or more caches are associated with one or more electronic devices. Responsive to determining the first file is stored in a cache of a second electronic device, the method determines whether the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets a set of guidelines. Responsive to determining the first file stored in the cache of the second electronic device meets the set of guidelines, the method sends the first file from the cache of the second electronic device via an internal network to the first electronic device.

Abstract: One or more remote content-displaying devices are represented on a display of a content-pushing device. A user of the content-pushing device is thus enabled to select which remote content-displaying device(s) is to receive and display the content.

Abstract: Within a system comprising a processor and a memory, a method of sending an attachment of a first electronic mail (email) to a recipient. The method includes receiving the first email addressed to the recipient and, via the processor, determining whether a volume of data contained in the recipient's electronic mailbox has reached a threshold level. When the volume of data has reached the threshold level, via the processor, establishment of an instant messaging session with an instant messaging client associated with the recipient can be initiated. The attachment can be caused to be attached to an instant message. Sending of the instant message to the instant messaging client associated with the recipient can be initiated.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for establishment service rating via tip amounts is disclosed. The method includes: determining, by a client computing system, a total tip amount corresponding to a plurality of transactions at an establishment; determining a total party size representing a total quantity of consumers receiving services from the establishment corresponding to the plurality of transactions; computing an average tip per person value based on the total tip amount and the total party size, the average tip per person value anonymous to the consumers; and forwarding, by the client computing system to a rating service for online display by the rating service, the average tip per person value corresponding to the establishment for online access and viewing by other consumers.

Abstract: A method for accessing information during a teleconferencing event. The method includes identifying a reference to a document transmitted by a telecommunication device participating in a teleconferencing event and identifying a name of the referenced document. The method includes determining, by a computer, an identity of a user of the participating telecommunication device. The method further includes determining the user has permission to access the identified document and, in response, transmitting the identified document to the participating telecommunication device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for sharing resources between users. In an implementation, a method may include receiving a sharing request for a resource from a requesting participant of a collaborative session. The method may also include receiving a sharing authorization from a sharing participant of the collaborative session. The method may further include simultaneously downloading the resource from a resource location by a computing device associated with the sharing participant and uploading the resource to the requesting participant by the computing device associated with the sharing participant.

Abstract: An approach that delays presentation of social media communications corresponding to an event is provided. In the approach, social media communications received during an initial presentation of the event are stored. A time delay associated with each of the social media communications is recorded with the time delay being from the start time of the initial presentation of the event. During subsequent playback of the event, the approach retrieves the stored social media communications and presents the retrieved social media communications based upon the time delay associated with each of the communications from the start time of the subsequent event playback.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for quality of experience for media transmissions. In an implementation, a method may include identifying a communication session including a plurality of participants. The method may also include identifying an application activity by a first participant of the communication session. The application activity may be generally contemporaneous with the communication session. The method may also include associating a relevance level with the application activity and the communication session. The method may also include identifying a location associated with the application activity. The method may further include storing an association between the communication session, the application activity, the relevance, and the location.

Abstract: Tracking initiation of network content requests is achieved by receiving at a network device requests from clients for network content, and tracking initiation of network content requests based upon initiator information, wherein the initiator information comprises information relating to each type of application hosted by a client that initiates the client request for network content from the network device.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for defining, at a first computing device, at least a portion of a display area associated with the first computing device. A specialized communication from a second computing device is received at the first computing device. The specialized communication is rendered at the first computing device in at least the portion of the display area. Use of an application within at least the portion of the display is prevented at least while the specialized communication is accessed.
