A system and method for editing and outputting an image, for example, for wall or other décor. Tools enable a user to parse a single image, such as a photograph, substantially automatically across a grid of multiple tiles. In addition to parsing, various kinds of image editing are provided as a function of tools in an innovative graphical user interface operating on a smart phone or one or more computing devices. Various operations are performed on an image that has been parsed across a grid of multiple tiles to provide for a custom output, such as for displaying an image uniquely on a wall or other surface.

System and method for splitting an image across a plurality of tiles

A system and method provide for processing, by a mobile computing device, information received from a transmission device to identify the transmission device, an object, or the transmission device and the object, wherein the transmission device is configured to be coupled to or embedded within the object. The mobile computing device provides, as a function of the at least one of the accelerometer and the gyroscope, a representation that the mobile computing device is determined to be level, wherein the representation that the mobile computing device is level is usable to level the object.

A frame system according to one embodiment includes a mount body having an inner surface and an opposing outer surface. The outer surface has an adhesive body applied thereto. The adhesive body has an adhesive on an outer surface thereof for contacting and bonding with a support surface. The frame system further includes an outer frame element having a first opening through which an image substrate is visible. The outer frame element has a first surface against which the image substrate seats. A back plate is configured for attachment to the outer frame element and the back plate includes a second opening that receives the adhesive body. The back plate further includes a forward protrusion against which the image substrate seat. A mount space is defined between the outer frame element and the back plate in which the mount body is disposed and is configured to move in at least two directions for adjusting a position of the frame system on the support surface. At least one biasing element (e.g. a spring) applies a force against the mount body for holding the assembled outer frame element and back plate in a desired position relative to the mount body.

A user interface aids in creation of customized pre-defined queries that can be used for identifying particular search results relevant to a topic. Provision can be made to allow express inclusion or exclusion of certain results. Metrics relating to how much the pre-defined query focuses the search can be provided. A pre-defined query can be referenced by a URL, which can be distributed or referenced in content available in any number of locations. When results of the pre-defined search change, a contact associated with the search query can be notified. When a URL is activated, a redirect to the search engine with the customized query can occur, and the contact associated with the query can be notified of the usage of the pre-defined query. Metrics concerning sources of query usage can be produced, based on data gathered while serving the pre-defined query requests.

System and method for detecting changes within search results

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for quantifying visibility into a search engine and into search results for a specific query into a search engine. A system configured to practice the method obtains a first set of search results from a search engine, using a name of an entity and at least one additional search term relating to attributes of the entity, and obtains a second set of search results, from the search engine, using the name without the at least one additional search term. The system determines what search results in the first set of search results are in the second set of search results. Then the system can generate an indicator that relates information about how many results from the first set of search results were in the second set of search results to a total number of results in the first set of search results.

System and method for quantifying visibility within search engines

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for scheduling calendar events. An exemplary method includes receiving, from a requesting device, an invite request referencing a network address associated with a calendar for a target user, wherein the network address is encoded in a machine-readable code from which the requesting device extracted the network address. The method then includes, sending a preauthorized availability for the calendar of the target/service user to the requesting device, wherein the availability is for a predetermined time length. The method then includes receiving a selection of a desired meeting time within the preauthorized availability from the requesting device and creating a calendar event according to the received selected desired meeting time.

Aspects relate to categorizing requests for online resources as originating from spiders or not. Such resources are associated with respective contacts, and if a non-spider requests a resource, then a contact associated with that resource can be notified. One example method for determining whether to notify a user associated with a network resource includes identifying, via a processor, an entity making a request for a resource associated with a network address, wherein the entity has extracted the network address from a machine-readable code. The method then includes serving the resource to the entity in response to the request. The method then includes determining if request is not abusive, and only if the request is not abusive sending a notification to a user associated with the resource that the resource has been accessed.

Systems and method of identifying and managing abusive requests

Aspects of the disclosure include establishing a verified set of search results, as a selection of search results returned by a search engine, responsive to a pre-defined query. The verified set of search results are stored and associated with a URL. The URL can be distributed by an entity that establishes the definition of the query and the selection of search results. When the URL is activated, the selection of search results can be returned, with a link to the search engine that allows a redirect to the search engine, with the pre-defined query, so that a current set of search results is returned by the search engine responsive to the pre-defined query. The entity can be notified when the URL is used, and information concerning the party activating the URL can be provided to the entity.

Selection and sharing of verified search results

Aspects relate to identifying Internet spiders with an approach involving a plurality of instances of one or more URLs, which reference resources available from a first domain. Instances of the URLs are distributed at other Internet domains. Spiders crawling those domains will activate those URL instances, resulting in requests for the resources referenced by the URLs. A generator of a number of requests for the same resource, from a potential multitude of URL instances, can cause the generator to be categorized as a spider. Similarly, a generator of a number of requests for resources identified by different URLs also can be categorized as spider behavior. In some cases, the first domain may not have a browseable site infrastructure with, such that a spider would not readily crawl it by following internal links. The URLs can refer to custom queries created by various users, who can provide the URLs on their pages, such as on social networking sites.

Systems and methods of handling internet spiders

Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, systems and/or devices for managing content are disclosed. Briefly, in accordance with one particular embodiment, managing content includes presenting one or more references to one or more digital media assets. A request to reserve one or more of the referenced digital media assets is received, and the references to one or more digital media assets are updated such that the references include data indicating that one or more of the referenced digital media assets have been reserved.

Managing media-content licenses, including option formation

System and method for searching, formulating, distributing and monitoring usage of predefined internet search queries

A system identifies purchasable digital content to be used in development of a digital composition by receiving a request to identify a set of digital content, and retrieving access history for individual portions of digital content that match the request. The access history includes a number of times the individual portions of digital content have been accessed. The system then produces a set of digital content indicative of the access history for each individual portion of digital content, and outputs the set of digital content that matches the request, and that reflects the access history for individual portions of digital content.

Methods and apparatus to identify accessed digital content

One of several methods comprises selecting one or more parameters based, at least in part, on a ranking of a relative desirability of said one or more specified parameters and selecting a subset of a set of electronic content for use in at least a portion of an electroniccompilation, wherein said subset may be selected based, at least in part, on said one or more parameters.

Forming a compilation

A system receives a selection of content within the digital composition, and derives conceptual information associated with the content. The conceptual information is used to identify the graphical element associated with the selection of content. The system obtains the graphical element associated with the content, and displays the graphical element within the digital composition.
