20100146015 | Rich-Context Tagging of Resources - Tagging of resources in order to associate them is described. In an embodiment it is possible to assign tags to resources or switch between resources with different tags, in the context of current work being undertaken by a user. For example, from a single application window that is currently used, a user is able to switch to other resources by tag in an embodiment. Different embodiments illustrate how tags may have multiple purposes and those purposes may evolve thus enabling associated resources to be exposed in different ways. In some embodiments rich metadata about tag usage and/or the use of resource associated with a tag is stored and used to provide additional functionality. Examples are described in which persistence of resources associated with tags is provided and may involve representation of resources such as by duplication of files or by creating alternative representations of resources. | 06-10-2010 |
20120030317 | Capture of Content from Dynamic Resource Services - Methods are described which enable processing of resources originally accessed by a content access operation. An identifier is generated and used to augment all requests for resources which relate to a particular content access operation. A proxy stores the resources associated with the identifier and then sends the resources to the application that requested them (e.g. a browser). The resources may be requested from the proxy by applications using the identifier so that they can be processed (e.g. thumbnail generation, textual analysis) and the processed data may be stored and/or presented to the user. | 02-02-2012 |
20130159426 | Dynamic Control of an Electronic Message System - Methods of dynamic control of an electronic message system are described. In an embodiment, a system which is separate from a messaging service within the electronic message system generates an event signal which relates to an event external to the messaging service. The event signal is received by the messaging service and this triggers a dynamic update in one or more electronic messages which are identified based on the event signal received. For example, the dynamic update may result in the message content being displayed in a different manner or the message being delivered or deleted. Examples of external events include a community response to a particular message, based on a subset of information about the message which has been shared, the location of one or more users and a change in membership of a group. | 06-20-2013 |

20120290306 | HYBRID CODED AUDIO DATA STREAMING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An audio coding system in which a plurality of quantization methods are selectable for application to components of a streamed audio signal to achieve a target frame size that is determined by comparing an achieved bit rate against a target bit rate. Based on the target frame size, the system calculates a bit allocation for signal components and compares the bit allocation to the dynamic range of the signal components. Depending on the outcome of the comparison, the system may select to quantize or not quantize a signal component. The system employs lossless coding techniques, but is capable of introducing lossy coding by quantization in order to meet the target bit rate. | 11-15-2012 |

20140214607 | GLOBAL CURRENCY OF CREDIBILITY FOR CROWDSOURCING - A global currency for crowdsourcing which comprises stored credibility values for every buyer (of human intelligence) and seller (of human intelligence) in a crowdsourcing system is described, creating an ecosystem where buyers and sellers are interdependent on each other. This dependence is the property of a global currency of credibility, where a buyer's credibility is a function of the credibility of the sellers who engaged with HITs published by the buyer, while the credibility of a seller is a function of the credibility scores associated with the HITs, which in turn is dependent on the buyer's credibility. The credibility scores are updated with every HIT completion and propagated through a network that connects HITs with buyers, sellers and platforms, as well as sellers with other sellers and buyers with other buyers. Buyers and sellers can bid, auction and refer HITs as a function of their credibility scores. | 07-31-2014 |
