  • Publication number: 20160328402
    Abstract: A keyword reporting system for mobile applications is disclosed that generates keyword reports for a subject mobile application. The reports include a set of most relevant keywords for the subject mobile application with their associated ranking and result value. The ranking of a keyword is the subject mobile application's position in a search result for the keyword. A result value is determined for each keyword as well, where the result value is the number of mobile applications found in a search result for the keyword. Based on the ranking and result value of each keyword, a weight value is determined for each keyword. The weight value indicates the relevance of the keyword for the subject mobile application. A set of keywords are sorted and selected based on the weight value and a keyword report is generated that includes the set of keywords along with their rankings.

  • Patent number: 7388911
    Abstract: An FM broadcast transmitter transmits a broadcast signal having a carrier at a broadcast frequency and sidebands, able to be transmitted at full power, within a transmission bandwidth around the carrier. It includes a source of a modulated FM stereo signal having a carrier at the broadcast frequency and having sidebands with a bandwidth less than the transmission bandwidth representing a stereo signal. It also includes a source of a modulated in-band-on-channel (IBOC) signal, having carrier pulses spaced relative to each other to represent the IBOC digital data signal encoded as a variable pulse width encoded signal, and a bandwidth within the transmission bandwidth not overlapping the FM stereo signal sidebands. A signal combiner combines the modulated FM stereo signal and the modulated IBOC signal to form the broadcast signal.

  • Patent number: 7359303
    Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode digital document delivery system is provided. A customer premise unit is configured to permit a customer to order and receive a data stream. A buffer is coupled to the customer premise unit to store the data stream before transmitting the data stream to a customer. A server includes digital documents stored thereon for delivery to customers through a switched ATM network. A control mechanism is employed to control a data rate of the data stream between the server and the buffer to ensure maintenance of a steady data stream from the customer premise unit to a customer during a loss of a physical layer between the server and the customer premise unit.

  • Publication number: 20070071218
    Abstract: A method for implementing a customized ring back tone service includes: upon receiving a call initiated by a caller, an SSP triggers the call to an SCP, and the SCP requests the SSP to report a detected alerting event of a callee and continue with the call handling; the SSP routes the call to the callee, reports the detected alerting event of the callee to the SCP, splits the call into a call segment associated with the caller and a call segment associated with the callee, and routes the call segment associated with the caller to an IP; the IP plays a ring back tone customized by the callee to the caller. The invention improves the implementation of the customized ring back tone service and ensures that no ring back tone will be played to the caller when the callee is not idle without modifying the existing protocols.

  • Patent number: 7042959
    Abstract: Variable Aperture Coded (VAC) signals for VAC modulation are advantageously generated by a digital signal processor (12) that yields a VAC signal having a single narrow peak in the positive frequency region. A Discrete-Time Hilbert transformer (12) isolates only the positive spectral peaks, thus yielding a VAC signal that affords greater control over zero crossings.
