Abstract: In an example embodiment, there is disclosed an apparatus comprising an audio interface configured to receive an audio signal, a data interface is configured to communicate with at least one social graph, and logic is coupled to the audio interface and the data interface. The logic is configured to identify a calling party. The logic is further configured to acquire data representative of a called party from the audio signal. The logic is configured to initiate a search of the at least one social graph for the data representative of the called party to identify the called party responsive to acquiring the data representative of the called party.

Abstract: A mobile communication device that is outfitted with motion detection mechanisms is used to construct a viewport on audio-visual data. As the communication device is moved along a spatial trajectory, the viewport is positioned accordingly. A virtual space can be constructed such that the spatial trajectory is mapped into the virtual space and the user can navigate the virtual space by suitable movement of the communication device. Accordingly, a user can use natural body movements to navigate the virtual space through the viewport.

Abstract: In one embodiments, a system includes an interface operable to monitor a first plurality of communications between a first user and a second user on a network. The system further includes one or more processors configured to determine one or more first particulars of the first plurality of communications, determine a recommended communication group composition and a recommended mode of communication based on the one or more first particulars and a set of rules, and generate a first alert to the first user indicating the recommended communication group composition and the recommended mode of communication.

Abstract: A system (100) and method (200) related to gathering statistical information regarding a data stream. The method (200) may include sending (205), by a data forwarding device (110), an internet protocol (IP) multicast data stream to a multicast group using an internet protocol (IP); and collecting (210) statistical data from a router (120a-g) down stream of the forwarding device (110) to determine a number of end point recipients (125, 130, 135) associated with the multicast group and receiving the multicast data stream.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting infinite tight loops and infinite inter-task loops in applications tasks in multi-task, real-time systems. In accordance with the inventive method, a low priority task, the idle task, is executed whenever no other task is ready to execute. Further, when the idle task executes it sets a flag. A higher priority, watch dog task executes and tests the flag. If the flag has been set, the watch dog task resets the flag and sends a signal to reset a watch dog timer, however, if the flag has not been set by the idle task for a predetermined time period, the watch dog task will stop resetting the watch dog timer. As a result, this will cause the watch dog timer to trigger and reset the system.
