Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may operate within a local area network. The computing system may include a network interface configured to receive a set of content items from a content server located remotely from the computing system and the local area network, a storage element for storing the set of content items, and a processor. The processor may be configured to determine first data relating to people, objects, or some combination thereof, select at least one content item from the set of content items based at least in part on the first data relating to people, objects, or some combination thereof without communicating the first data to the content server or any other computing device outside of the local area network, and communicate the selected at least one content item to a user of the computing system.

Abstract: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for assessing the accuracy of Internet Protocol (IP) address-based geolocation data may generally include accessing a first set of usage pattern data associated with a plurality of IP addresses that are known to be assigned to computing devices located within a geographic area, wherein the first set of usage pattern data is associated with online-based activities. The method may also include determining a usage pattern classifier for the geographic area based on the first set of usage pattern data and accessing a second set of usage pattern data associated with at least one IP address contained within an IP block that has been mapped to the geographic area, wherein the second set of usage pattern data is associated with online-based activities. In addition, the method may include analyzing the second set of usage pattern data based on the usage pattern classifier.

Abstract: Systems and methods for media aggregation are disclosed herein. The system includes a media system that can transform user generated media items into at least one aggregated media item. A synchronization component can synchronize media items with respect to time. Synchronized media items can be analyzed and transformed into an aggregated media item for storage and/or display. In addition, the aggregated media item is capable of being manipulated to create an enhanced and customizable viewing and/or listening experience. Accordingly, media item aggregation can be accomplished.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for determining the parking difficulty of segments of a geographic area. A system may include portable computers and vehicle navigation systems traversing segments of a geographic area. Location tracks may be received corresponding to the paths of the vehicles. The location tracks may be evaluated to determine if they are from a vehicle searching for parking. Some segments of the searching-for-parking location tracks may be included in a circle event, and the number circle events that include a segment may indicate the difficulty of parking in that segment. The parking difficulty may be expressed as a parking difficulty index and may be transmitted to a computer for view on an interactive map or for use in determining directions to a destination.
