Appl. No.:

10/966850

Inventors:

Andreas Vogel - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/34

US Classification:

702188, 702122, 702182, 455423

Abstract:

A system and method for monitoring performance of a wireless network are disclosed. According to one described example, at least one probe is generated. In the example, the probe determines the portion of a wireless network to monitor, the type of the probe, and the number and frequency of the probe or probes to target a specific carrier, a specific system, or a specific geographical area. A probe server generates the probe based on a parameter specified by the user and transmits the probe to a plurality of posts or to the wireless network. In the example, the probe server controls the posts to send and receive probes to the wireless network. In response to the received probes, the wireless network responds by sending feedback information, which can be used to indicate how the wireless network is performing.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715763

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer program product for automatically manipulating and sharing multimedia content items by acquiring them, defining related item information via graphical user interface, and transferring the items and the related item information to selected destinations whereby the related item information is retained. The related item information includes metadata and collection definition, including transfer constraints and destination requirements. Embodiments may be implemented on potentially network-attached computers and cameras, and transfer content to email accounts, archives, social networks and content publication sites. The graphical user interface includes function-specific areas for easy, fast use. Destinations are identified by name and logo, and may include an interchange server that dynamically updates end destination requirements and responsively adapts further transfers. Transfers may be immediate or occur on demand or at the time of device-network connection, and may include computer-executable program instructions for implementing the graphical user interface.

Abstract:

Driver vehicle setting values are crowd-sourced from multiple users in an anonymous manner. The crowd-sourced driver vehicle setting values are processed using machine learning to generate one or more vehicle setting recommendations to other users. The recommendations may be for vehicle settings that the user has not yet activated or vehicle setting values that are frequently used for a particular vehicle.
