Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data synchronization between a client computing device's local store and another data store, such as a data store that is remote to the client computing device. The other data store may comprise a cloud data store. The existence, or absence, of a causal relationship between the local and remote data stores for a given data item is used to determine whether or not a conflict exists and/or whether a requested operation may be performed. The causal relationship may be determined using a previous commit's hash value, referred to as a hash_base value, and a hash value, both of which are associated with the data item.

Abstract: Many content systems (e.g., social networks) present to a user a set of content items posted by other individuals. The user may selectively view content items that reinforce and are consistent with the user's perspective, creating an “echo chamber” effect. Conversely, content systems that selectively expose users to content items exhibiting contrary perspectives, and from individuals with no connection with the user, may alienate the user. Presented herein are techniques for recommending content items that present a different perspective from that of the user, and from individuals who share a similar profile to the user (e.g., alternative opinions from other individuals within the user's social circle or community). Optionally, opinions may be selected that do not directly oppose the user's perspective, but that are orthogonal with it. Such selective recommendations may persuade the user to consider contrary viewpoints that may alter the user's perspective while reducing user alienation.

Abstract translation: 许多内容系统（例如，社交网络）向用户呈现由其他个人张贴的一组内容项目。 用户可以选择性地查看加强并与用户观点一致的内容项目，从而产生“回声室”效果。 相反，选择性地将用户暴露于具有相反视角的内容项目以及与用户没有连接的个人的内容系统可能疏远用户。 这里提出的技术是用于向与用户共享相似简档的个人（例如，来自用户的社交圈或社区内的其他个人的替代意见）推荐呈现与用户不同的观点的内容项的技术。 可选地，可以选择不直接反对用户观点的意见，但是与其正交。 这样的选择性建议可以说服用户考虑可以在减少用户异化的同时改变用户观点的相反观点。

Abstract: A computer-implemented user notification method includes displaying, at user-accessible locations on a graphical display of a mobile device, notifications corresponding to user interest, preference, and frequency of interaction with particular applications or activities on the mobile device. By increasing ease of interaction with particular notifications and advertisements that are of increased importance and relevance for the user, a higher click through and conversion rate is anticipated.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for email management. The disclosed systems and methods enable a user to follow messages and message conversations based on, but not limited to, a context of the received messages, content included in the messages, the sender of the messages, intended recipients of the message, and the like. Therefore, the present disclosure describes systems and methods for enabling a recipient user to follow messages, topics or other users from the recipient user's inbox. Accordingly, followed topics or messages from followed users can be grouped into message conversations within the recipient user's inbox. Whenever there is an update in a followed conversation, the recipient user will be notified. By determining which messages a user desires to follow, the disclosed systems and methods can identify the interests of users by leveraging information from the followed messages for advertising purposes.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于电子邮件管理的系统和方法。 所公开的系统和方法使得用户能够基于但不限于接收到的消息的上下文，消息中包括的内容，消息的发送者，消息的预期接收者等等来跟随消息和消息对话 。 因此，本公开描述了用于使接收者用户能够从收件人用户的收件箱跟踪消息，主题或其他用户的系统和方法。 因此，跟随用户的主题或消息可以分组到收件人用户收件箱内的消息对话中。 每当随后对话中有更新时，收件人用户将被通知。 通过确定用户希望遵循哪些消息，所公开的系统和方法可以通过利用来自跟踪消息的用于广告目的的信息来识别用户的兴趣。

Abstract: Briefly, the disclosure describes embodiments of methods or apparatuses for processing, such as smoothing, a set of labeled measurements at a variety of scale levels. In one or more non-limiting embodiments purely for illustrative purposes, relatively fine details of labeled measurements may be displayed utilizing a relatively low-scale map, such as a map showing individual towns and/or villages. For display utilizing a relatively higher scale map, such as a map showing larger geopolitical areas, for example, relatively fine details may be omitted.

Abstract translation: 简而言之，本公开描述了用于处理各种规模级别的一组标记测量的方法或装置的实施例，例如平滑化。 在纯粹为了说明的目的的一个或多个非限制性实施例中，可以使用相对低比例的地图来显示标记测量的相对精细的细节，例如显示各个城镇和/或村庄的地图。 为了利用比较高比例的地图显示，例如显示较大的地缘政治地区的地图，可以省略相对较细的细节。

Abstract: A server-implemented method for managing packages on a client device is provided. The method initiates with receiving a content request from a client device, the content request defining a requested content item and current package data identifying one or more currently installed packages on the client device. Required packages for providing the requested content item are determined based on the content request, wherein determining the required packages includes analyzing dependencies amongst the required packages. A response to the content request is generated based on the determined required packages and the current package data, the response defining actions for providing the requested content item at the client device and actions for managing the one or more currently installed packages on the client device. The package management instructions are sent to the client device.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于管理客户端设备上的软件包的服务器实现的方法。 该方法是从客户端设备接收到内容请求，定义所请求的内容项目的内容请求以及识别客户端设备上当前安装的一个或多个软件包的当前软件包数据。 用于提供所请求的内容项的所需包被基于内容请求确定，其中确定所需的包包括分析所需包之间的依赖关系。 基于所确定的所需包和当前包数据，生成针对内容请求的响应，响应定义用于在客户端设备处提供所请求的内容项的动作以及用于管理客户端设备上的一个或多个当前安装的包的动作。 包管理指令被发送到客户端设备。

Abstract: The present teaching relates to discovery of user unknown interests. In one example, information related to a user is retrieved from a user profile. The information indicates one or more known interests of the user. At least one known interest of the user is identified based on the information. One or more supplemental interests with respect to each identified at least one known interest of the user are identified. The one or more supplemental interests do not overlap with the one or more known interests of the user. Supplemental content associated with the one or more supplemental interests are identified. Each piece of content in the supplemental content is ranked. At least one piece of content in the supplemental content is selected based on the ranking. The selected at least one piece of supplemental content is used to discover unknown interest of the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, data generated via a map process and/or reduce process may be obtained. A request message may be sent to a server, where the request message indicates a request for a location in storage at which the data is to be stored. Upon receiving the location from the server, the data may be copied to the location in the storage. A commit message may be sent to the server, where the commit message indicates that the data has been copied to the location. In addition, the data may be deleted.

Abstract: Automated systems and methods are provided for establishing or maintaining a personalized trusted social network for a community of users, with little or no input from any given user. To establish the personalized trusted social network, one or more trusted sources are identified for a given user. The identified trusted sources are added to a user profile for the given user. Also, identified are any annotations, bookmarks, or the like that the identified trusted sources have associated with any shared content. These annotations provide access to microcontent items that the identified trusted sources have integrated with the shared content to thereby enhance or enrich its context. One or more profiles are constructed or updated to track the associations between the identified trusted sources and their annotations. The profile information can be applied to enhance and personalize search and browsing experiences for the given user.
