Abstract: A system and method for providing personalized assistance in a virtual environment is disclosed. A plurality of trigger events is stored in memory, each trigger event based on a user interaction in the virtual environment. Data sent over a communication network regarding gameplay of a user associated with a media title engaged in the virtual environment is received. Play characteristics exhibited by the user based on the received data are identified. One or more user generated content streams that meet conditions of an identified one or more trigger events are identified. Identified streams are ranked based on a match between the play characteristics exhibited by the user and metadata of each of the identified streams. A display of the ranked streams is provided, wherein the display includes an analysis of the match.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a user interface for providing a data service in a mobile client using a server with knowledge of the client's hardware and software capabilities to modify data content and display rules for an improved user interface on the client. Data may be cached on the client to improve application response time and provide a standalone application capability for the client. The automatic conversion of newly developed applications to a plurality of clients with differing hardware and software capabilities reduces application software development and maintenance costs. Software updates and bug fixes can be deployed with the same method and system. An interoperable array of adapters for reporting, billing, and format conversions is also described.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention enable users with communication devices to access affiliate profiles and perform matches on profiles aggregated from multiple independent computer systems regardless of communications device type or operating system and regardless of affiliate match server computer type, operating system or language. Affiliate profiles may comprise user profiles, advertisement profiles or coupon profiles. In addition, embodiments of the invention allow users to broadcast their location with their permission and join groups based on location parameters and connect to or dial other users by alias without knowledge of a machine address or phone number. Embodiments of the invention utilize information from each user in the form of a profile containing metadata. Examples of the type of metadata that comprises a profile include various categories of information describing a user, group, advertisement or coupon.
