Abstract: Selecting an active one of a plurality of screen areas of one or more applications presented to a user on a screen includes determining properties of the screen areas corresponding to brightness, playing audio, displaying an avatar, transparency of an avatar, timing of new content, intensity of content change, number of objects, number of objects in an intersection of multiple areas, and/or speed of objects in a particular area, setting one or more rules for choosing one of a plurality of the screen areas for a plurality of applications based on at least one of the properties, and selecting a particular one of the screen areas to be the active one of the plurality of screen areas based on the rules, the properties, and location of a pointer or touch area. The avatar may be located, at least partially, within an intersection of different ones of the screen areas.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a request for data is received from an end-user device, the request including one or more contextual attributes of the end-user device. The request is forwarded to a data provider. Data is then received from the data provider. It is determined if the data includes tagged sensitive data. If so, then the tagged sensitive data and the one or more contextual attributes are sent to a data access platform. Then policy constraints corresponding to the data are received from the data access platform. The sensitive data is encrypted in a manner that a data privacy module on the end-user device only decrypts the sensitive data when one or more contextual attributes of the end-user device meet one or more requirements identified in the policy constraints, and then the encrypted sensitive data and the policy are sent to the data privacy module.

Abstract: Facilitating date selection by a user includes presenting the user with a single timeline band, causing the band to change granularity of date increments in response to the user zooming in and zooming out on the band, causing the band to present different dates based on band positioning initiated by the user, and allowing selection by the user of a date that is presented on the band to the user. The band may show less granular date increments in response to the user zooming in on the band and the band may show more granular date increments in response to the user zooming out on the band. In response to zooming in, a date presented to the user in connection with a less granular view of the band may become part of the date selected by the user.

Abstract: Handling data for a photographic image, includes detecting a reference pattern in the data, detecting at least one sticker in the data, determining an action associated with the at least one sticker, and performing the action on the data. The reference pattern may be a uniform grid pattern of dots preprinted on paper. A paper type may be determined according to the reference image. Determining an action associated with the at least one sticker may depend, at least in part, on the paper type. Detecting a particular one of the stickers may cause data for the photographic image to be stored in a particular location. Detecting a particular one of the stickers may cause data for the photographic images to be assigned particular tags used for organizing and searching.

Abstract: A flexible, extensible, and dynamically configurable Advanced IP Messaging Server (AIMS) facility that among other things may leverage various pools of data—including for example routing data, location and presence data, Mobile Subscriber profile data, etc.—to expeditiously process and route, through the use of among other things Feature Tags, a wide range of information including among other things conventional Short Message Service, Multimedia Message Service, IP Multimedia Subsystem, etc. messaging; E-Mail messaging; Instant Messaging communications; Voice Over IP and other (e.g., video conference, etc.) data streams; Session Initiation Protocol-addressed artifacts; etc.
