Abstract: Data from a wireless network location system is used in conjunction with the known geographic location of a video surveillance area such that the system according to the present invention infers that a person who appears in an image in the video is the user of a mobile phone estimated to be at the person's location. When facial recognition is applied and the person's identity is thus recognized, an association is generated as between the identity according to the facial recognition and the identity of the co-located mobile phone. This association can be critical when there is no personal identification available for a mobile phone such as a pre-paid mobile.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to providing an improved quality of experience (QoE) for users consuming video content. An improved QoE may be provided to a user by allocating an appropriate bandwidth at which content is provided to the user. The appropriate bandwidth may be determined by an application function of the communications network used to provide the content to the user. The application function analyzes messages received from the content provider to determine characteristics of the content, determines the appropriate bandwidth accordingly, and generates a policy control rule to be enforced by the communications network when transmitting the content. Alternatively, a mobile device used to engage in the content determines the appropriate bandwidth at which video is to be transmitted thereto. The determined bandwidth is provided to the application function, which generates a policy control rule to be enforced by the communications network based on the determined bandwidth.

Abstract: At a centralized service in a hosted environment, a permission list is established of at least one cipher suite valid for secure connections across multiple network environments. Responsive to the centralized service receiving a request from a socket indicating the socket is negotiating a secure connection with another socket, the centralized service sends the permission list to the socket, wherein the socket negotiates for a mutual cipher suite specified in the permission list with the another socket. Responsive to the centralized service identifying that a particular cipher suite matching the mutual cipher suite used in an ongoing secure session for the socket is revoked, the centralized service notifies the socket that the mutual cipher suite is revoked.

Abstract: A facility providing securely for a multi-tiered server-implemented application is described. The facility receives in a back-end application service a request from a front-end application service. The request includes both (1) a first security token obtained by a client that called the front-end application service, which identifies as its audience the front-end application service, and (2) a second security token obtained by the front-end service identifying the back-end service as its audience. The facility validates the first and second security tokens. Where the first and second security tokens are both successfully validated, the facility performs the received request in the back-end application service. Where the first and second security tokens are not both successfully validated, the facility returns an error.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system analyzes a first subject in a first image taken at a first point in time against a second subject in a second image taken at a second point in time. The first image and the second image are captured at a venue. The system determines, based on a time duration between the first point in time and the second point, a probability that the first subject is at the venue at the second point in time. Next, the system computes, based on the probability, a relevance score that quantifies a relationship between the first subject in the first image and the second subject in the second image. Finally, the system assigns the second image to a first image file corresponding to the first image based on the relevance score reaching a relevance score threshold.
