Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for an interactive communication experience on mobile devices. In general, the present disclosure discusses dynamically manipulating or modifying graphic user representations during an electronic communication. The modification or manipulation of these graphic user representations enables users to convey nuances of mood and feelings rather than being confined to conveying them through conventional communications, including text, images, video, or selecting an appropriate emoticon or avatar from a palette of predetermined emoticons or avatars.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for constructing a profile for a target user is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring electronic communications across a network to identify at least one electronic communication that identifies a target user as an intended message recipient, extracting metadata from content associated with the at least one electronic communication; and constructing a user profile for the target user on the basis of the extracted metadata. It is assumed that the message senders send their messages, including associated content, to a given target user with the belief that the content is of some interest to the target user on the basis of some knowledge regarding the target user's personality, preferences, tastes and the like. In this manner, a profiling entity may indirectly construct a profile of the target user based on the content sent by one or more message senders to the target user.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于构建目标用户的简档的计算机实现的方法。 该方法包括监视跨网络的电子通信，以识别将目标用户识别为预期消息接收者的至少一个电子通信，从与所述至少一个电子通信相关联的内容中提取元数据; 以及基于所提取的元数据为目标用户构建用户简档。 假设消息发送者将消息（包括相关联的内容）发送给给定的目标用户，相信基于关于目标用户的个性，偏好，品味和某些内容的某些知识，内容对目标用户感兴趣 类似。 以这种方式，分析实体可以基于由一个或多个消息发送者发送给目标用户的内容间接地构建目标用户的简档。

Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual universal decryption (VUD) service that provides a mechanism for allowing users of camera enabled mobile devices to use their camera to decrypt messages. The VUD service can provide a mechanism for a user of a VUD enabled device to authorize one or more other users of VUD enabled and camera enabled devices to use their cameras to decrypt messages sent by the authorizing user. The VUD service may then provide mechanisms for the authorized users to decrypt messages, which have been encrypted by the authorizing users, by simply capturing an image/video of the encrypted text with a camera of their VUD enabled devices.

Abstract: Techniques for providing offers for products/services associated with a topic to users based on a measure of conversion determined for the users are described. The measure of conversion for each user may be indicative of a probability that the user will purchase item(s) associated with a particular topic. The measure of conversion may be based on social activity associated with the user and social activity associated with other users that have formed a social connection with the user. Offers associated with the particular topic are presented to the user in response to determining that the measure of conversion of the user for the topic reaches a predetermined threshold and/or matches further criteria.

Abstract: Descriptive data relating to at least a subset of a plurality of entities on a website is retrieved over a network. Endorsement data relating to the plurality of entities is retrieved from the website. A first set of probabilities is determined reflecting a probability that endorsements can be attributed to specific aspects. A second set of probabilities is determined reflecting a probability that terms can be attributed to aspects. Using the first set of probabilities and the second set of probabilities, a subset of the terms that are most probably associated with each entity are selected. Tags are then generated for each entity using the selected terms.

Abstract: Methods and systems for using voice input in display advertisements are disclosed. A default display advertisement is selected based at least in part on targeting criteria. The default advertisement is transmitted to a user device and displayed in a browser application on the user device. A command based on voice input provided by a user for interacting with the default display advertisement is received from the browser application. One or more keywords are extracted from the command, and at least one advertisement for a product is selected based at least in part on the extracted keyword(s). The advertisement is transmitted to the user device, and the default advertisement is modified to display the advertisement.
