Generating a sequential semantic representation and a resulting content item sequence or presentation is disclosed. A set of nodes and paths among the nodes are determined. Each node includes a corresponding a set of criteria. The paths define a relationship among the plurality of nodes. Transitional operators that define additional criteria for the nodes, are associated with the paths. Content items that include characteristics that are determined to match the corresponding set of criteria for at least one of the nodes are retrieved.

Sequential semantic representations for media curation

A Secure Virtual Point of Service (SVPOS) that coordinates the authentication, authorization, and identity, settlement, arbitration and non-repudiation for an electronic commercial transaction. For each commercial transaction, both the buyer and merchant authenticate itself to the SVPOS and create two unique transaction encryption keys, one for the buyer and one for the merchant. The merchant uses both encryption keys to encrypt a package that include at least product identification. The merchant and buyer calculate a hash of the package and transmit the calculated hash to the SVPOS for comparison to prevent repudiation. If the calculated hash is identical the buyer receives the merchants encryption key and decrypts the package. Payment is released by the SVPOS if the buyer is satisfied with the package via a Parlay system. If the buyer is not satisfied, said SVPOS performs arbitration between the buyer and merchant to determine if the package is correct.

Method and apparatus to conduct a commercial transaction over wireless networks

A system and method are provided by which a wireless network service provider is able to provide and maintain a high level of quality of service for terminals in the corresponding network, by overcoming problems that result in a diminished quality of service, including handoff delays as terminals move between cells in a network and the uncertainly as to which cell the individual terminals are moving to as they roam within the network. Providing and maintaining a high level of quality of service in a wireless network includes recording a history of movements of a terminal within the wireless network, analyzing the movements of the terminal within the wireless network to compute a probability distribution of the terminal's target location, and allocating network resources, including bandwidth and priority scheme, to the terminal based on the probability distribution for the terminal.

Methods for using integrity checking techniques to identify and locate computer viruses are provided. A method for virus localization for each of three types of virus infections is provided, including the steps of computing a sequence of file blocks, calculating hashes for the sequences of file blocks from a host file and calculating hashes for the same or related sequences of file blocks from an infected file, and comparing the hashes from host file to the hashes from the infected file from the same or related sequences of file blocks such that when some of said first hashes and said second hashes do not match, a location of a virus is output. Methods for computing the sequence of file blocks depending on the type of virus infection, and for calculating the hashes using a collision resistant hash function, a digital signature scheme, a message authentication code, or a pseudo-random function.

Virus localization using cryptographic hashing

The present application discloses, inter alia, a system for improving the aggregate throughput of a wireless local area network which includes: at least one access point that is equipped with at least one transceiver configured to simultaneously transmit and receive at multiple frequencies using multiple channels; and the access point being configured to acquire channel conditions of users and to pool sets of users on the channels based on the channel conditions.

Channel partitioning for wireless local area networks

A system and method for equalizing traffic between antenna beams is described. Aspects of the system and method may vary the beam widths to attempt to equalize traffic based on non-real-time communications and/or non-real-time communications.

Load equalizing antennas

A communication system comprises network elements () and user equipments (), at least some of which comprise a charging proxy (). The system further comprises a charging server () which includes a topic controller () for initializing charging topics where each charging topic is associable with charging data. The charging server () furthermore comprises functionality for registering proxies as subscribing proxies or publishing proxies (or both) for the different charging topics. A receiver () receives charging data messages from charging proxies and validates a first set of charging data belonging to a first charging topic in response to a first set of charging proxies registered as publishing proxies for the first charging topic. A charging data transmitter () transmits the first set of charging data to a second set of charging proxies registered as subscribing proxies for the first charging topic.

A method and apparatus is provided for hand-off of a mobile User Equipment (UE) across a femto cellular network. The method includes dynamically clustering a plurality of neighboring femto cells in a vicinity of a first femto cell to which a mobile UE is currently attached. The dynamic cluster of neighboring femto cells is moved across the femto cellular network in accordance with movement of the mobile UE across the femto cellular network.

Wide area mobile communications over femto-cells

A method is provided for enabling an over the top (OTT) service over a broadband network. The method includes receiving a registration request from a mobile User Equipment (UE) over a femto cell to register with a cellular operator of a cellular network. The registration request is forwarded to an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server associated with the cellular operator to register the mobile UE therewith. A rendition of the registration request is forwarded to an AAA server associated with a broadband operator of a broadband network to register the mobile UE therewith.

A system and method are provided by which a network operator is able to detect fraudulent use of a subscriber's terminal, regardless of whether or not the subscriber is aware of the fraudulent use of her terminal. Detecting unauthorized terminal use in a wireless network includes recording a history of terminal location and registration patterns, analyzing the recorded history of location and registration patterns of the terminal, monitoring current location and registration patterns of the terminal, and requesting clarification when a deviation between said statistical analysis of the location and registration patterns of said terminal and said current location and registration patterns of said terminal is detected.

In some embodiments, a system and method is disclosed for, among other things, reducing interference in a first wireless network from a second wireless network. In some embodiments, the method includes that an Interfered AP, which Interfered AP either itself receives interference or has a station in the Interfered AP's network that receives interference from an Interfering AP or from a station within the Interfering AP's network, selects how to reduce interference from a plurality of interference reduction methods&#x2014;e.g., including transmit power control (TPC), channel switching (CS) and/or the like.

The present invention is directed to a mobility management protocol for supporting real-time and non-real-time multimedia applications on mobile stations of third generation internet protocol (3G-IP) networks. The present invention utilizes as well as extends the session initiation protocol (SIP) to provide for domain hand-off (i.e., roaming) and subnet hand-off (i.e., macro-mobility) so that users can access the network from any location using their own mobile station as they roam across different 3G-IP networks. The present invention supports mobile transmission control protocol (TCP) applications without modifying TCP. More specifically, disclosed herein is: a novel use of the SIP INVITE method for IP address binding; a novel use of the SIP INFO method to provide a means of profile verification and IP address binding; a novel use of the SIP REGISTER method to allow a SIP registrar to obtain a new IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on behalf of the mobile; and an inventive entity called a SIP_EYE Agent that maintains a record of ongoing TCP connections and releases within the mobile.
