Abstract:

Social activity content is aggregated for summarization and reporting by obtaining a plurality of input messages that each characterizes a corresponding time limited social activity, such as a sporting event, competition, etc. Each received message is associated with a corresponding social activity, information is extracted from the received messages describing an aspect of the corresponding social activity and information is generated that summarizes the corresponding social activity. Generated information may be based upon a combination of the information extracted from the associated messages, and information derived from content based assumptions utilizing knowledge of the corresponding social activity. Social activity information is further aggregated by applying context aware filtering to eliminate redundantly generated information, sequencing the filtered information into a chronology of the social activity and generating a summary of the social activity based upon the sequenced and filtered information.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707769, 707E17014

Abstract:

Described is the user management of electronic documents. Content selected from a first electronic document is received. Metadata are generated corresponding to the received selected content and a location of the received content in the first electronic document. The metadata are stored and a search term is subsequently received that is also in the received content. In response to a search against a repository, search results are displayed. The search results include an indicator of the first electronic document and an indicator of a second electronic document that includes the search term. The indicator of the first electronic document is displayed higher in the search results than the second electronic document.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

An object request associated with a requesting entity can be identified. The object request can comprise of an object identifier and an object type associated with an object instance which can be a renderable entity. The entity can be a widget within an application executing within a client device. An object type associated with the object request can be determined which can be decomposed into an attribute request based a selected schema. The attribute request can comprise of an object instance identifier and an attribute identifier associated with an attribute value. An attribute index associated with a client-side object cache can be queried for the attribute value. When the attribute value exists in the attribute index, an appropriate attribute value associated with the attribute can be conveyed to the entity. When the attribute value is absent from the attribute index, the attribute request can be conveyed to a request aggregator.
