Abstract: A device includes an image capture device configured to capture a first video. The device includes a memory configured to store one or more videos. The device further includes a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to concatenate the first video and a second video to generate a combined video. The second video is included in the one or more videos or is accessible via a network. The second video is selected by the processor based on a similarity of a first set of characteristics with a second set of characteristics. The first set of characteristics corresponds to the first video. The second set of characteristics corresponds to the second video.

Abstract: A server based contextual awareness method of communicating in a wireless network includes detecting a signal strength of one or more user equipments (UEs) relative to other user equipment within a same vicinity. The method also includes detecting a pattern of the user equipment(s) and the other user equipment based on the detected signal strength of the user equipment(s) relative to the other user equipment. The method also includes deriving a social context based on the detected pattern. The method further includes initiating an action in response to the derived social context.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a mobile device, a selection of a first media item transferred from the mobile device to a remote device. The method also includes selecting, by the mobile device, a second media item to transfer to the remote device based on a similarity of the second media item to the first media item. The method further includes generating, by the mobile device, packaged moment data to transfer to the remote device, where the packaged moment data includes media data associated with multiple media items including the first media item and the second media item.

Abstract: Methods and systems enable evaluating a message prior to transmission to one or more addressees. In an embodiment, a message element evaluator applies rules to message field elements which may include message addressee and content elements before the message is transmitted. When a message evaluation rule is violated, an alert may be presented to the user. A message evaluation rule may allow the sender to confirm sending of the message, initiate editing of the message, or cancel the message. A message evaluation rule may also prohibit the message from being sent until the message is modified to conform to the message evaluation rule. The methods and systems may be applied to a variety of message types including electronic mail, simple message system, multimedia message system, and instant message system messages.

Abstract: An embodiment is a technique for inhibiting unintended outgoing communication. A cost calculator calculates a cost value of an outgoing communication as a function of a plurality of parameters related to at least one of a voice parameter, an ambient parameter, a proximity parameter, a speech pattern parameter, a call parameter, and a noise parameter. A call suppressor suppresses the outgoing communication when the cost value exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Sensor data indicating the motion level of a mobile platform is used to determine a rate, or cost-per-impression (CPM), to be charged for an advertisement displayed on the mobile platform. Additional data may be used to determine an attention level of a user of the mobile platform, which is used to determine the rate of the advertisement. The determination of the rate for the advertisement maybe determined by the mobile platform and transmitted to a server. Alternatively, a server may determine the rate for the advertisement based on sensor data received from the mobile platform. Additionally, the amount of information or text in an advertisement may be adjusted based on the motion level or attention level of the mobile platform.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for automatically detecting transitions in captured video and using the detected transitions to mark portions of the captured video for editing, where editing may be deleting, retaining, or playing at a faster playback rate the marked portions. During video capture, a video capture device may obtain image information and determine based on image and sensor information the presence of a transition from a target scene to a non-target scene. The image information may be obtained from a video front end sensor (e.g., image sensor) and the sensor information may be obtained from other sensors that provide orientation information (e.g., accelerometer, compass, and the like). A processor may determine automatically or based on user input how to edit the marked portions.
