System and method for determining location of a device using opposing cameras are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes activating a front-facing camera and a back-facing camera of the device, capturing a first pair of images from a first orientation using the front-facing camera and the back-facing camera, where the first pair of images includes a first front image and a first back image, monitoring the device being rotated to a second orientation, capturing a second pair of images from the second orientation using the front-facing camera and the back-facing camera, where the second pair of images includes a second front image and a second back image, and determining a location of the device using the first pair of images and the second pair of images.

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses to allow for expected signal data for a region of space within a structure to be encoded and transmitted to a mobile station. The mobile station may decode the encoded version and use the resulting decoded version to support signal-based position estimation.

Methods and apparatus for displaying content on a mobile device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining content to display on the mobile device, obtaining distance information indicative of a distance that separates a user from the mobile device, accessing content-size data on the mobile device that is associated with the distance information, and adjusting a presentation of content on the mobile device based upon the content-size data.

Context-based routing in multi-hop networks involves using a context-based routing metric. In a described implementation, respective path values are calculated for respective ones of multiple paths using the context-based routing metric. A path is selected from the multiple paths responsive to the calculated path values. Data is transmitted over at least one link of the selected path. In an example embodiment, the context-based routing metric is ascertained responsive to an estimated service interval (ESI) of a bottleneck link of each path of the multiple paths. In another example embodiment, the context-based routing metric is ascertained responsive to an expected resource consumption (ERC) metric. In an example embodiment of path selection, the path is selected using a context-based path pruning (CPP) technique that involves maintaining multiple local contexts at each intermediate node, with each local context representing at least one partial path.

Systems and methods for delivering social network updates from popular entities to receiver devices via broadcast or multicast networks obtain updates from highly popular entities. Updates may be assembled by a server crawling social network sites. To enable selective reception, the obtained updates may be broadcast/multicast according to a schedule that is communicated to receiver devices in advance, such as a catalog file. Receiver devices receive the catalog file and use the included information to selectively receive updates that are relevant to a user of the receiver device. Updates received from broadcasts or multicasts are cached in memory of the receiver device. When a user requests to access a particular social network entity on the receiver device, that request may be satisfied by accessing social network updates cached on the receiver device. Broadcasting and/or multicasting highly popular social network updates may relieve burdens on unicast networks.

Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses to allow for location related information for a region of space within a structure to be divided into blocks and selectively provided in an efficient manner to a mobile station and/or a proxy device associated therewith. The mobile station may, for example, use the blocks of location related information to support signal-based position estimation and/or other like location based services.
摘要:
Methods and devices include a server and at least two web browsers operable on at least two different computing devices. Each browser reports results of processing and rendering of webpages to the server. The server aggregates the data. The server generates metadata from the aggregated browsers. The server transmits the generated metadata to at least one computing device. The computing device renders a webpage using at least a portion of the provided metadata. The metadata may identify portions of JavaScript that can be processed in parallel. The metadata may identify a library portion that does not have to be loaded. The metadata may identify a portion of the webpage that may be rendered first before a second portion of the webpage. Returning metadata to the computing device can assist the computing device in parsing, analyzing or executing the request for the webpage.

Disclosed is a method for user identity authentication for a peer device joining a peer-to-peer overlay network. In the method, a credential server of the overlay network receives a registered user identity from a joining peer device. The credential server verifies the registered user identity with an identity provider. Upon receiving, at the credential server, successful verification of the registered user identity from the identity provider, the credential server issues to the joining peer device a signed certificate for use by an authenticated peer device in the overlay network to authenticate the registered user identity of the joining peer device, wherein the signed certificate is signed by a private key of the credential server.
