Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for inferring user context and delivering advertisements, such as coupons, using natural language and/or sentiment analysis is disclosed. The facility may infer context information based on a user's emotional state, attitude, needs, or intent from the user's interaction with or through a mobile device. The facility may then determine whether it is appropriate to deliver an advertisement to the user and select an advertisement for delivery. The facility may also determine an appropriate expiration time and/or discount amount for the advertisement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a terminal, an information inter-cut system and method. In the method, after the terminal receives an information play request signaling sent by an information server, if the terminal itself is performing video share, the terminal will send a video share pause signaling to the other terminal of video share, and will send a request accept signaling to the information server after receiving the response signaling of the other terminal; the information server transmits to the terminal the information data to be played; the terminal plays the received information, and sends a video share restoration signaling to the other terminal to restore the paused video share after the information play is over. The present invention can receive any form of information issued by an operator, without influencing the user performing video share service.

Abstract: Described is a technology that uses a web service as a proxy for transferring data between mobile communications devices. A short range communication link is established between a source device and a destination device. The source device sends a content identifier over the short range communication link to the destination device, that the destination devices uses to access the content, including when the short range communication link no longer exists. Also described is security for the content via authentication data (e.g., credentials) and policy associated with the content to control its access. The source device may select the destination device or may broadcast the content identifier to any number of destination devices within range.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for managing the referral of electronic advertisements is described. The facility may be configured to provide advertisements, including coupons, to a referrer and to enable the referrer to forward the advertisements to recipients. The facility also tracks recipient responses to the forwarded advertisements (e.g., redemption of coupons, interactions with the advertisement, rejections of advertisements, etc.). The facility may also be configured to provide incentives and/or disincentives to referrers based on recipient responses to advertisements.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for filtering advertisements based on variable contexts is described. The facility may ascertain whether incoming messages are advertisements and filter messages containing advertisements. Advertisements may be filtered for deletion, storage, and/or user alerts with or without storage. The user may be alerted to incoming advertisements either upon receipt or at a later time. Filtering and notification may be based on real-time context (e.g., mood, location, time, environment, device status, etc.). In addition, filtering may also be based on message context and other contexts. User feedback may also be employed to refine filtering algorithms.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for providing a mobile device enhanced shopping experience is disclosed. The facility may determine a user characteristic of a mobile device user and deliver information in response to a product query. The information may include product information, competitive pricing information, competitive product information, related product information, a product advertisement, and/or the like. Also, the product query may be based on barcode information, a barcode image, product information, a product image, and/or the like.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for managing online advertisement bidding processes is described. The facility selects advertisements for delivery to mobile device users based on advertiser bids. The advertisers may bid for presentation of their advertisements to users having certain spatio-temporal, user segment, and/or other characteristics. The facility may also select advertisements for delivery based on an estimated likelihood of a mobile device user's positive response to the advertisement. Advertiser and user feedback may also be employed to refine the process of selecting advertisements for delivery.
