Abstract: A mobile device file management system, method of managing mobile device file sharing and a computer program product therefor. A media repository server stores files and metadata for each stored file. Mobile devices couple to the media repository server over a network. At least one mobile device screens metadata for requested files provided from the media repository server. The device checks local storage for any screened filed identified as popular, and if already present fulfills the request with that copy Otherwise, the device downloads a copy from the media repository server.

Abstract: Backup and restore of digital data may utilize online social network parameters of a user to determine a number of parts into which to divide digital data and distribute the parts. A list of friends from the social network friends may be selected, e.g., based on a relationship to the user in the social network, to store the parts. The parts may be stored in a friend's device memory, each of the parts stored with a different friend. The digital data may be reconstructed by obtaining a threshold number of parts from the friends.

Abstract: A shared data storage network, such as a peer-to-peer network, is managed according to individual member trust level. Members of the storage network make their local storage available to other members of the network. Members receive a storage-location recommendation based on (i) the type of data to be stored, and (ii) an individual trust level assigned to members providing storage resources in the network.

Abstract: A peer-to-peer storage system, method and program product for managing peer-to-peer storage in an enterprise network. Peers use networked devices to log into an enterprise social platform with a unique identification (ID) that identifies a respective enterprise network user. Users may be members of enterprise network groups. When a group member peer requests a copy of a file the file associated with the group, the networked device determines whether other members have stored replicas of the file. If replicas are stored with other members, the networked device receives one of those. Otherwise, the networked device receives a copy from the enterprise social platform, and that copy is stored with one of the group members.

Abstract: A system for managing items. The system includes a sensor for identifying a first physical object and a second physical object in a building. A computer interface in communication with the sensor is configured to receive a first identification of the first physical object and a second identification of the second physical object. A computer with at least one central processing unit is configured to automatically search for trend information about the first physical object, determine a first interaction between the first physical object and the second physical object based on the first identification of the first physical object and the second identification of the second physical object, and recommend disposition of the first physical object based on the first interaction between the first physical object and the second physical object, and the trend information about the first physical object.
