| 20080214210 | LOCATION-BASED NOVELTY INDEX VALUE AND RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention is a system and method for computing a result for a location, wherein the result indicates how novel it is for a wireless device to occupy a specific location. After determining the location of a wireless device through various means, a Novelty Index Value (NIV) is calculated for the location, and the NIV is then stored into a database. The NIV may then be subsequently used by application programs to compute a desired result from the NIV. Multiple users may utilize and/or share the same NIV values. The NIV may also be used to alter the configuration of a wireless device as well. A recommendation system is also disclosed, wherein user context is utilized along with NIV values to compute particular results for a user. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080275960 | Coordination and Management of Content Distribution - Content items may be transmitted and synchronized between a receiving device and a content hosting service (e.g., a file sharing service) using a coordinating device. The coordinating device may be in and/or connected to a local network of the local device and may facilitate communications between the local device and the remote service. Alternatively, the coordinating device may be remotely connected to the local device. The coordinating device may monitor for new content information on either the local device or the remote service (or both) and propagate new or updated content as appropriate. The coordinating device may further perform functions such as reformatting content, maintaining a database of content identifiers and synchronizing metadata associated with content items. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090119614 | Method, Apparatus and Computer Program Product for Heirarchical Navigation with Respect to Content Items of a Media Collection - An apparatus for providing hierarchical navigation with respect to content items of a media collection may include a processing element. The processing element may be configured to provide a hierarchical organization of content items in which each of the content items is organized according to type and, within each type, the content items are further organized according to categories. Each of the categories may represent a different basis upon which to organize the content items. The processing element may be further configured to enable a user to view content items within a particular category using a first scrolling function oriented with respect to a first axis, and enable the user to switch categories using a second scrolling function oriented with respect to a second axis. | 05-07-2009 |
