Abstract: Described herein is a novel approach for coarse-grained user geolocation leveraging widely-deployed content delivery networks (CDNs). This method relies on the fact that CDN providers deploy a number of edge servers that are geographically distributed across the world.

Abstract: A method and system for annotating and linking electronic documents is described herein. Separate annotation layers or connectors are used to store each annotation or connection associated with a document in order to improve the efficiency and robustness of collaborative annotation. When a user creates an annotation for a document, a new annotation layer is generated, containing information describing the annotation. The annotation layer is separate from the annotated document. The annotation layer may be transmitted to another user without transmission of the document, thereby reducing network traffic and avoiding metadata contamination within the document itself. This facilitates real-time collaborative annotation of electronic documents by multiple users. This also facilitates robust connections between documents or other data sources, which contain information regarding both the source and target documents.

The system may further present other communication channels that may assist the user in resolving their help request. The user may be steered to one or more of those channels. When navigating between channels a data object may be generated in the first channel that tracks the user's intent, actions, and steps taken to resolution, which may be transferred between channels and translated to a code or scripting language handled by the other channel.

Abstract: A distributed system is disclosed in which one or more servers respond to requests for content including hyperlinks. Hyperlinks provide an interactive visual manifestation of an underlying reference to a resource. By using a graphical user interface provided by the device, a user is able to select a hyperlink, and thereby control the device to obtain the resource to which the underlying reference refers. However, if a user selects a hyperlink and the device is unable to follow the underlying reference to obtain the resource, user disappointment results. By arranging the server, on providing visual content including one or more hyperlinks, to attempt (212) to follow the references underlying the hyperlinks, and to alter (216) the appearance of any hyperlink for which the underlying reference could not be followed, users are alerted to the likelihood that selecting the hyperlink will not lead to them obtaining the resource. In this way, user disappointment is avoided.
