International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370230, 370235

Abstract:

A method and apparatus tracks and blocks content requested by a first remote device for forwarding over a network to a second remote device. For a given content item, one or more usage identities are tracked. Usage identities may include any combination of one or more of a source identity, a content identity, and/or a destination identity. One or more thresholds associated with the tracked usage identities are applied to determine whether a request to forward content should be blocked; a threshold is a limit on the number of times a content item having a particular usage identity may be forwarded within a time period. Misuse of content-forwarding messaging services by spammers and the like may thereby be discouraged. In one embodiment, the invention may be employed as part of a content clipping service for forwarding content to mobile devices by way of SMS or another mobile messaging technology.

US Classification:

370389, 37039552, 4554561, 455466

Abstract:

A device, system, and method are directed towards communicating mobile information over a network. A mobile message (MM) is generated by an Internet Protocol (IP) enabled application interface. The MM may include advertising information. The MM is received at a routing server and comprises a destination phone number and/or advertising information. If the MM is determined to be locally processed, the routing server selectively routes the MM to a destination carrier associated with the destination phone number. If the MM is determined to be remotely processed, the MM is recursively forwarded until the MM reaches another routing server associated with the destination phone number. The other routing server is configured to selectively route the MM to the destination carrier. A response MM may be received at a boundary routing server. The response MM may be sent to the API if at least a portion of the response MM matches information associated with the MM.

Inventors:

Assignee:

BUNNDLE, INC. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

US Classification:

705 1451

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided to enable bundling of software applications across multiple, disparate platforms, such as for example, bundling PC applications with mobile applications. The system enables mobile application developers to make offers to publishers of PC software to compensate the publishers for presenting advertisements for mobile application developers' product offerings during the installation of the publishers product offerings on user PCs. The publishers integrate an offer manager into their installation packages. When the installation packages are installed on a user's PC, the offer manager communicates with a software bundling service and identifies relevant offers, such as, for example, offers made by mobile application developers that are partnered with the software publisher supplying the installation package. Relevant offers are then presented to the user on the users PC, and if accepted, a download URL for a mobile user's application is transmitted to a user mobile device.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345419

Abstract:

A system and method for increasing the performance associated with creating simulated 3D worlds from a network. The system and method provides a means for increasing the performance by fetching objects in the order of their importance. A priority scheme is used to determine the fetching, pre-fetching, and caching of URLs. The operations of assigning priorities, making prefetch requests and cache management is driven by data in an asset database table. The database contains information pertaining to each asset within the current scene such as the priority, status, region, type bounds, and retrieval time. The asset database table is updated based on fetching activities, camera position, and the positions of moving assets. A world scene is subdivided into appropriately sized regions when a scene is first downloaded. Asset type origins are defined and moved, based on the position, orientation, and velocity of the camera.
