  • Patent number: 8316098
    Abstract: Systems and methods of social caching for device resource sharing and management are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes a local proxy which wirelessly accesses the physical storage of other device via a wireless network to cache the response or content for the mobile device, in response to detecting commonalities between the mobile device and the other device. The commonalities can include, for example, common interests in users of the mobile device and the other device.

  • Publication number: 20120290675
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a mobile device to use physical storage of another device for caching are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile device is able to receive over a cellular or IP network a response or content to be cached and wirelessly access the physical storage of the other device via a wireless network to cache the response or content for the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20120289239
    Abstract: Systems and methods for device resource sharing for network resource conservation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method can include, for example: detecting that multiple devices are attempting to access a same content source over a mobile network. The same content source can then be polled once in a single poll event and the content received in response to the single poll event of the one same content source is transmitted to one device of the multiple devices. The other devices of the multiple devices can receive the content from the one device, over a non-cellular connection.

  • Publication number: 20120197728
    Abstract: Systems and methods for single action access to context specific content at a mobile device are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for user interface features, also referred to as “hot buttons” which can enhance a mobile user environment or mobile application by linking to real time or near real time information outside of one's social network to include selected web content, within a single dashboard. Hot buttons provide a place to surface dynamic outside of messaging and mobile application contexts. Since many large content providers earn revenue only from site visits by users, hot buttons can provide an ever-present link to the content site, while providing value over a simple URL, since selected context specific or relevant content is being pushed or aggregated dynamically to be accessed via the hot button.

  • Patent number: 6842176
    Abstract: A computer graphics display method and system for controlling data visualization in at least one external dimension is provided which allows better querying and navigation of data in external dimension space. A data visualization is displayed in a first display window. A summary window provides summary information on data for the data visualization across one or more external dimensions. First and second controllers are displayed for controlling the variation of the data visualization in respective first and second external dimensions. A user queries the data visualization in the first and second external dimensions by selecting a point in the summary window. A user navigates through the data visualization in the first and second external dimensions by defining a path in the summary window. Grid points are also displayed in the summary window to facilitate data queries and navigation based on actual data points.
