  • Patent number: 9509649
    Abstract: A mechanism for providing centralized message notification for user interface. disclosed. A method includes intercepting a plurality of message notifications. The plurality of message notifications are generated in an operating system and an application. The method also includes comparing content of a message corresponding to one of the plurality of message notifications with a plurality of regexp based rules. Each of the regexp based rules comprise a condition that is regexp based. When the content of the message matches with a matching regexp based rule of the plurality of regexp based rules, determining whether the condition in the matching regexp based rule is associated with a black list rule. The black list rule comprises excluding one or more of the message notifications among the plurality of message notifications indicated by a user to be displayed at a user device.

  • Patent number: 9047650
    Abstract: A mechanism for geographically-aware electronic traveling advertisements is disclosed. A method of the invention includes displaying each of a plurality of advertisements on an electronic display of a mobile advertising unit in a general rotation and on a random basis, determining a current location of the mobile advertising unit from a Geographic Positioning System (GPS) unit and a current time from a clock, interrupting the general rotation to display a high priority advertisement if the current location of the mobile advertising unit is within a GPS waypoint range of the high-priority advertisement, interrupting the general rotation to display a high priority advertisement if the current time of the mobile advertising unit is within a time range of the high-priority advertisement, and recording statistics for each advertisement displayed on the electronic display in a log stored at the mobile advertising unit.
