Abstract: Software on a client device presents a webpage through a browser. The webpage is from an online content-aggregation website and includes a plurality of panels containing a plurality of content items. The software selectively pre-loads into a cache a resource associated with a content item in a panel if the content item is relatively persistent in comparison to other content items. The cache is controlled by the browser. The software retrieves the resource from the cache upon receiving command from a user and presents the resource through the browser.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide techniques for an advertisement mask and a target media content being jointly encoded, transformed, and progressively rendered for presentation to a user. Specifically, a request for the target media content by a user is received. The target media content and the advertisement mask are scaled and divided into equally sized blocks and, further, jointly encoded into a compressed media file. Transformation of the content of the compressed media file is followed by progressively loading and rendering the advertisement mask and a partially obscured view of the media content. As the target media content is transmitted and fully rendered, the advertisement mask gradually decreases in opacity until it is removed for presentation of the fully-rendered target media content.

Abstract: A crowdsourcing approach is used to collect from contributors, e.g., a large group of consumers, item pricing offered by the sellers from which the contributors have purchased the items. A contributor may provide item pricing information associated with a given store by uploading a receipt from the store, which receipt identifies the item(s) purchased by the contributor and a price for each item purchased, store information, e.g., store name, location, telephone number, etc. A database or other data store may be used to maintain contributor, store and item information. The stored information may identify which store is/are selling which item(s) and at what price(s). A shopping list may be generated, which includes information identifying one or more items and, for each item, the store at which the item(s) may be purchased at the lowest available price relative to other stores. By analyzing consumers' shopping habits, personalized target of ads and/or promotions can be achieved.

Abstract translation: 使用众包方式从贡献者（例如，大群消费者）收集由贡献者从中购买物品的卖家提供的物品定价。 贡献者可以通过从商店上传收据来提供与给定商店相关联的商品定价信息，该收据标识由投稿人购买的商品和购买的每个商品的价格，存储信息，例如商店名称，位置， 电话号码等。数据库或其他数据存储可以用于维护贡献者，存储和项目信息。 存储的信息可以识别哪个商店正在/正在销售哪些物品和什么价格。 可以生成购物清单，其包括识别一个或多个项目的信息，并且对于每个项目，可以以相对于其他商店的最低可用价格购买该商品的商店。 通过分析消费者的购物习惯，可以实现广告和/或促销的个性化定位。

Abstract: A real-time locater for digital media objects, related to one or more musical compositions and accessible over a network, is described. A service-provider maintains a master index of the digital media objects and a playlist-resolver server. The master index is organized by considering each media object to be an example of a primary attribute associated with the media object by a multitude of users. The reference is constructed as a data structure of primary attributes and means of locating the media objects as instances of primary attributes. The playlist-resolver works with the master index to translate a list of references to creative works into a series of successful accesses to the corresponding media object files.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a networked display via a client device are provided. The client device and the networked display are connected by a network. A session is initiated between the client device and the networked display, and a remote user interface is transmitted from the networked display to the client device. Interactivity with the remote user interface is detected at the client device, and input data is transmitted from the client device to the networked display based on the interactivity with the remote user interface. The input data is interpreted at the networked display so as to cause a change in a state of an application being executed by the networked display. And the remote user interface is updated based on the changed state of the application executed by the networked display.

Abstract: A system and method are directed towards providing non-requested content to a mobile terminal based on characteristics of, and tracked usage of the mobile terminal to request content through an online portal service, which provides access to content in multiple subject areas. A mobile user profile is created from the characteristics and patterns of the tracked usage. The tracked usage information includes the time, location, frequency at which the content was requested. Based on the mobile user profile information, content related to previously requested content is provided to the mobile terminal upon a trigger that is related to the requested content. The trigger event may include the mobile terminal returning to a location from which certain content was previously requested. The non-requested content may further be based on a related general user profile that indicates usage of an alternate electronic device to access content through the portal.
