20100098241 | Local Number Portability for Mobility Management - A mobility management analysis architecture for call management. Systems and methods are provided for routing of a landline-mobile and mobile-mobile call using a switching network (landline or mobile originating) to serve effectively as the “GMSC/tandem” switching layer for the mobile network, as well as for mobile-mobile calls using an originating switch. When a landline switch issues an local number portability (LNP) query, the response to the query can be intercepted by a preliminary mobility management platform that determines a location routing number (LRN) for a visited mobile switching center (V-MSC) to which a destination mobile handset is currently attached. The LRN for that V-MSC is returned in the LNP response to the switch, which then routes the call to the serving V-MSC based on the LRN. The V-MSC then performs the GMSC (gateway mobile switching center) functionality, for example, for that particular call. | 04-22-2010 |

20140310681 | ASSISTED CREATION OF CONTROL EVENT - The facilitated selection of an event that would trigger a control to perform a behavior. The control has multiple events that that may be used to trigger a behavior. It could perhaps be difficult for a user, especially a non-programmer, to select the appropriate event that triggers any given behavior. The system helps by automatically identifying a set of one or more events that are consistent with an intent for the control to perform a behavior of interest, in response to the user specifying the behavior. The automatically identified event might also depend on data of interest that the user identifies as to be operated upon by the control in performing the behavior. The system might propose one or more of the automatically identified events, and might even automatically configure the control to perform the behavior in response to a selected event. | 10-16-2014 |

20100208898 | MANAGING GROUP KEYS - In an example, one or more cryptographic keys may be associated with a group. Any member of the group may use the key to encrypt and decrypt information, thereby allowing members of the group to share encrypted information. Domain controllers (DCs) maintain copies of the group's keys. The DCs may synchronize with each other, so that each DC may have a copy of the group's keys. Keys may have expiration dates, and any client connected to a DC may generate a new key when a key is nearing expiration. The various clients may create new keys at differing amounts of time before expiration on various DCs. DCs that store keys early thus may have time to propagate the newly-created keys through synchronization before other DCs are requested to store keys created by other clients. In this way, the creation of an excessive number of new keys may be avoided. | 08-19-2010 |

In one embodiment, the enhanced document index is a form of term-clause index, that indexes terms and syntactic and semantic annotations at the clause level. The enhanced document index permits the use of a traditional keyword search engine to process relationship queries as well as to process standard document level keyword searches. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 10-29-2015 |
