Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing vehicle operations utilized for autonomous driving. An example method includes obtaining a set of inputs corresponding to a set of operational information associated with a vehicle; responsive to determined trigger, processing the set of inputs to determine whether the vehicle is available for travel; processing the set of inputs to determine whether at least one occupant has indicated an intent for the vehicle to initiate travel; responsive to determined vehicle availability for travel and determined intent for the vehicle to initiate travel, identifying a set of vehicle operational parameters corresponding to a determined path of travel; and causing the initiation of the identified set of vehicle operational parameters.

Abstract: Various embodiments for providing enhanced content sharing on mobile computing devices are described. In one or more embodiments, a mobile computing device may display content and send messages of different types. The mobile computing device may include a content sharing interface to prompt a selection of a recipient for content. The selected recipient may be associated with at least one transport mechanism. The mobile computing device may format the content according to a transport mechanism associated with the selected recipient, open the formatted content in a compose view for the transport mechanism, and to send the formatted content to the selected recipient. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques to provide integrated voice service management are described. An apparatus may comprise a mobile computing device having a voice service manager operative to receive control directives from one or more application programs, and manage one or more service features provided by multiple voice service platforms based on the received control directives, with at least one of the multiple voice service platforms comprising a voice over packet voice service platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A computing device operates a plurality of messaging programs that use different messaging transports. The computing device includes processing resources that operate to provide a messaging database that interfaces with the plurality of messaging programs to record instances of incoming or outgoing messages using anyone of the plurality of messaging programs. The processing resources execute in connection with maintaining the messaging database in order to associate individual incoming messages or outgoing messages with either a new messaging thread or an existing messaging thread. The incoming messages and outgoing messages of each new or existing messaging thread being received or sent through any one of the plurality of messaging programs, so that the messaging threads can be mixed in the type of messages that are provided.

Abstract: In a multimedia application where movie events are distributed on an on-demand basis, a multimedia server serves a subscriber requesting a movie event through either a high-demand process or a low-demand process. In a low demand process, a data stream representative of the movie is exclusively provided to the subscriber in accordance with a double-buffering technique. The server may switch many low-demand processes serving the same movie event into a high-demand process to effectively utilize limited resources. In the high-demand process, high-demand pointers are launched periodically and are associated with data streams representative of the movie event having different start times. Each data stream associated with a high-demand pointer may be shared by an unlimited number of subscribers. Service alterations of the movie including fast-forwarding, rewinding, and restarting after a pause are achieved by way pointer-hopping.
