Abstract: Digital content is indexed and available to be provided to a target audience based upon possible interest. Components and/or sensors detect audience-related data indicative of the target audience, possible audience interest, audience behavior, and other audience-related factors. Components and/or sensors detect device-related data indicative of available devices to which available content may be sent, transmission paths for the content, and related factors. An analysis and matching engine matches the available content to the target audience and one or more of the devices and selects content, devices, and transmission paths for directing the selected content for an enhanced audience experience.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes using a processor to receive pre-defined rules related to one or more desired characteristics of available digital content. The pre-defined rules indicate user preferences for receiving the available digital content with a personal computing device. The method further includes using a processor to determine current operating conditions corresponding to the pre-defined rules and to identify the one or more desired characteristics of available digital content based on the pre-defined rules and the current operating conditions. The method also includes using a processor to identify a data channel from one or more data channels. The identified data channel is configured to receive the available digital content from a content delivery system based on the pre-defined rules and the current operating conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media to connecting to addresses received in spoken communications. The method for connecting to addresses received in spoken communications comprises receiving at least one spoken communication containing a spoken address, extracting each address automatically from the at least one spoken communication, displaying to a user at least one extracted address, and receiving from the user a selection of at least one extracted address to initiate communication.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a control node of a cloud computing network, a first enterprise policy specific to the first enterprise and a second enterprise policy specific to the second enterprise, and managing communications between at least one user device of the first enterprise and the at least one enterprise application hosted on behalf of the first enterprise based on the first enterprise policy. The method also includes managing communications between at least one user device of the second enterprise and the at least one enterprise application hosted on behalf of the second enterprise based on the second enterprise policy.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer readable media for tracking a person of interest. The method embodiment comprises identifying a person of interest, capturing a voiceprint of the person of interest, comparing a received voiceprint of a caller with the voiceprint of the person of interest, and tracking the caller if the voiceprint of the caller is a substantial match to the voiceprint of the person of interest.

Abstract: Providing for mobile communications incorporating Internet Protocol (IP) persistence is described herein. By way of example, IP persistence can be implemented for a mobile device receiving IP data content over a mobile network. Particularly, if the mobile device encounters a region of poor wireless coverage, the IP data content can be transmitted to the mobile device over a plurality of base stations concurrently. Thus, the IP persistence can comprise duplicating the IP data content and transmitting separate independent wireless transmissions of the content to the mobile device from separate cells or separate transmitters. The duplicate transmitting can be continued while the mobile device is within the region of poor wireless coverage, until a suitable quality of service or quality of experience parameter is met for a serving network, or the like.

Abstract: Provided is a method for controlling output of a function in response to media content, the method comprising obtaining function information from another party, the function information comprising a content trigger and information related to a particular function associated with the content trigger, receiving the media content when it is reproduced by an external output device, and causing an external terminal to perform the particular function when the content trigger is included in the reproduced media content.

The method also includes, in response to determining that execution of the instruction would result in the fault, preventing execution of the instruction and allowing the second virtual machine to fail without adversely affecting the first virtual machine.

Abstract: Websites are monitored for changes over time. A domain name server resolves a domain name to a single internet protocol address and then performs a reverse resolution for the single internet protocol address. When multiple alias records resolve to the same host name, the domain name server determines the single internet protocol address virtually hosts multiple domain names.
