Abstract: A user of a telecommunications or other computing device may notify his or her contacts of an event of interest, which event may be modified by the user's contacts without requiring the permission of the originating user to do so. In this regard, an event organizing service receives an event notification request from a user of a telecommunications device (e.g., a mobile telephone), automatically identifies the user's contacts to whom the event notification is to be published, and publishes the event notification to the automatically identified contacts. A contact who receives the event notification may update the event, e.g., by modifying data describing the event, without the permission of the originating user. Accordingly, a contact who has received the event notification may modify the event (e.g., change the date/time, change the location, etc.

Abstract: Techniques for training a system to identify state changes in objects in virtual worlds. Base events transmitted by a virtual world engine are observed. Statistical analysis of the observed base events is performed. Based at least in part on this statistical analysis, a computer processor determines that a group of one or more of the observed base events is correlated to a first identified higher-level event. Optionally, the determination is based in part on a frequency of occurrence of the group of base events, on generated rules, or both. A candidate higher-level event including the group of base events thus determined is stored. User input is received about the candidate higher-level event. If so specified by the received user input, the candidate higher-level event is stored as a second identified higher-level event. As a result, the system is advantageously trained to identify higher-level events which represent abstract situations.
