One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for efficiently expanding a P2P network includes receiving a search request message from a requesting node and sending a response message to the requesting node on behalf of a node that has the requested data, where the response message originates at an intermediate node. The intermediate node may respond on behalf of the “responding” node, for example, in cases where the responding node is too far away from the requesting node to receive the search request message.

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for improving data transfers in peer-to-peer networks includes receiving a search request message from a requesting node, where the search request message requests specific data. A responding node then sends a response message to the requesting node including a referral message comprising at least one referred node that is expected to have the requested data, based on knowledge of the referred node's previous incoming and outgoing data transfers. The responding node may also indicate that the responding node has the requested data. In addition to increasing the requesting node's view of the peer-to-peer network, this also enables the identification of nodes (e.g., referred nodes) with which the requesting node may wish to establish direct peer-to-peer connections, e.g., to build peer-to-peer communities of nodes having similar interests.

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and apparatus for inferring the read status of instant messages. One embodiment of the inventive method involves displaying the instant message on the receiver's computing device and sending a message to the sender indicating a probability with which the receiver has viewed the instant message. In one embodiment, this probability is based at least in part on an amount of the instant message that is in view on the receiver's computing device and on user input that is received by the receiver's computing device, e.g., from the receiver.

A method monitors non-faulty application traces of a computer application with the runtime environment during fault-free activities to create non-faulty runtime signatures for the computer application. Once obtained, the method stores the non-faulty runtime signatures. The method then detects a faulty application trace of the computer application and compares the faulty application trace with the non-faulty runtime signatures by comparing a call graph of the faulty application trace with call graphs of non-faulty application traces of the application signatures to identify differences between the two (e.g., fault attributes). Then the invention outputs the fault attributes to allow the user to identify a fault cause.

A method, device and system for characterizing an image sharing objects within a network. The method steps include initiating a query for a query object on a first device connected to a network of devices. Finding a similar object similar to the query object on a second device connected to the network of devices, wherein the similarity is automatically judged by any device on the network. Transferring the similar object from the second device to the first device.

Systems, methods and computer products for profile-based identity verification over the Internet. Exemplary embodiments include a system including an activity classifier configured to receive Internet activity input including email, chat, browser and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) logs/streams, an email profiler, a chat, a browser profiler, a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) logs/streams profiler, wherein the profilers are configured to extract values from the Internet Activity input attributes from the data set, a score calculator configured to receive the attributes and calculate the score of the data set, a categorization engine configured to receive the score from the score calculator and map the data set to an individual or class of individuals based on the value of the score and on a database of activity-specific attributes and an application configured to place weights on the activity specific and generic attributes to define a score function from the score.

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for reducing spam in peer-to-peer networks includes forming a search message including at least one decoy word and sending the search request message, including the decoy word(s), to one or more nodes in the network. Embodiments of the present invention make it possible to weed out nodes in the network that send spam in response to every search message (e.g., regardless of the search message's content).

A method for dynamically re-calculating and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes interface icons based on user context, includes, for a current user, determining a change in user context associated with the GUI. The method then modifies one of a state, appearance and spatial placement of the user interface icons within the GUI automatically, in accordance with a determined change in user context. The step of determining a change in user context may further include analyzing a set of contextual attributes associated with the user. For that matter, the step of determining is preferably automatically triggered by at least one factor from a group of factors, the group of factors including a) a creation date of a data item associated with the current user, b) a modification date of a data item associated with the current user, c) a last-accessed date of a data item associated with the current user, d) a type of a data item associated with the current user, e) a location of a data item associated with the current user, f) a category of a data item's content, the data item associated with the current user, g) a size of a data item, the data item associated with the current user, h) a source of a data item associated with the current user and i) a completeness of a data item associated with the current user.

One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for processing a search request message received over a network includes computing a threshold value in accordance with the search request message and returning at least one search result to a user in response to the search request message, if a rank of the at least one search result at least meets the threshold value.
