Abstract: A system and method is provided for internet searching infrastructures and more particularly to hosted client device status supporting the delivery of search results hosted by a client device. A registry table retains client device status information so that when a search result includes specific device hosted content, that client device's status will be known. Client device status includes sleep, offline, predicted period of availability, do-not-disturb (DnD), power availability, or busy along with other status indications.

Abstract: A method and system for drawing roaming users to a particular virtually tagged location based on associated geolocation virtual tags. Notifications are provided to the user of a mobile communications device at a first location to attract the user to a second location having associated virtual tags. For example, a series of virtual tags trigger at different distance intervals from the virtually tagged posting location to provide the user with periodic directions (i.e., arrows, audible “turn left here”, “only 100 m away”, etc.) drawing the roaming user to the virtually tagged location. Various modes of operation provide the roaming user with customizability based on individual characteristics, behaviors and preferences.

Abstract: Power distribution circuitry to improve wireless power distribution and facilitate wireless power transfer (WPT) operations in a wireless communication device under a variety of operating conditions. In various exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, the power distribution circuitry operates to provide a wireless power (WP) supply voltage to wireless communication circuitry of the device in order enable a WPT connection procedure under certain low power conditions. Such conditions might include a power off mode, a sleep mode, and dead/low battery operating conditions wherein the available battery supply voltage is less than a threshold voltage required to enable device components. The power distribution circuitry may switch the supply voltage of the wireless communication circuitry to another available supply voltage source after the WPT connection procedure is completed and wireless power is being received by the wireless communication device.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting searching of client device hosted content. A search infrastructure supports creation, managing and searching of client device hosted content. A client device, which hosts content, communicates its client device identification (ID), type and access restrictions to the search infrastructure. In addition, the client device communicates a global network route to the client device content as a pointer for the search engine to provide a search requestor access to both the client device and specified content. Client device information is also provided to a client device registry accessible by the search infrastructure, for example a registry maintained in a cloud based service. Client devices can enter into client device services agreement with a third party storage system for the purposes of providing a higher probability that their client device hosted content will be available.

Abstract: Advertising revenue models applied to geolocation virtual tag infrastructures. In various embodiments, a fee-based activation area is established for delivery and display of a virtual tag that includes advertising information from a merchant or service provider located within the activation area. The advertising virtual tag may be displayed automatically when an appropriately configured device enters the activation area. In other embodiments, the advertising virtual tag is delivered by an advertising server to a mobile device for presentation in conjunction with search results corresponding to a search query received from the mobile device. A poster may select various options (with associated fees) for preferential treatment of the advertising virtual tag. Such options can include, for example, prioritized ranking in a listing of search results or virtual tags, expanded activation range(s), extended time duration for activation, etc.

Abstract: A technique in which autonomous machine-to-machine interactions are identified, setup and maintained between machines by utilizing a registry that may be searched to identify a registered machine. The search may be for a particular target machine or for content. By identifying a target machine, the registry may provide an address to connect two machines for the two machines to interact, such as the download of content stored on one of the machines.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to distribute preprocessing of client device content. The client device performs preprocessing or alternatively transfers search accessible content to remote systems for preprocessing such as search system infrastructure, set-top boxes, other client devices, etc. Client device content is preprocessed so as to provide, for example, a preview of images available by providing thumbnails of the images, small excerpts of text or a video preview. Offloading of client device content preprocessing duties reduces web server operational requirements and subsequent power needs. Additionally, preprocessing of searchable content can be distributed across multiple content hosts and search infrastructure elements.

Abstract: A technique in which a tag associated with a target object is sent to a user device to provide information regarding the target object. The tag includes a rating indicator for a recipient of the tag to respond to the rating indicator, in which the rating indicator is used to request a rating of one or more characteristics related to the target object. The rating response is collected with verification information to determine a level of verification of the rating response, in which the verification may include reliability of the rater providing the rating response. The response and level of verification are used to rank the rating response and provide further filtering of the tag related to the target object.

Abstract: Biasing of search results based on device profile and activity data. In various embodiments, biasing operations are performed on search results generated in response to a search query received from a client device. The biasing operations are based on device profile data associated with the client device. Such data may indicate media consumption capabilities of the device or other device hardware and software configuration details. In some embodiments, device activity/sensor data may likewise be employed to bias search results. Biasing operations may include, for example, ranking, prioritizing, or filtering search results to favor results that may be consumed by a client device. Translated and/or targeted and supplemental information may also be provided based on device profile data or user profile data. In certain embodiments, searching and biasing operations may be performed by an intermediary or proxy device.
