Method, systems, and computer-readable media for securely executing a script on a computer appliance are disclosed. A script payload is obtained from a requesting entity via an interface of the computer appliance, the script payload comprising the script and script security data. Multiple authentication factors for the script are obtained from the script security data, the multiple authentication factors comprising at least some nested authentication factors, wherein a first one of the authentication factors is encapsulated within a second one of the authentication factors. A first validation is performed to authenticate the script and the first authentication factor based on the second authentication factor and to generate a validated first authentication factor. A second validation is performed to authenticate the script based on the validated first authentication factor. Responsive to the script being authenticated by the first and second validations, the script is executed on the computer appliance.

Secure execution of scripts

A system and method for determining a location-based preferred media file includes a position module and a processor communicatively coupled to the position module. The processor configured to execute instructions to determine a current position of the mobile device based at least partially on data from the position module, to request data for a preferred media file associated with the determined current position of the mobile device, and to receive data representative of the preferred media file. The preferred media file can be a video file or an audio file that is selected based upon frequency that the media file has been played within a predetermined distance from the determined current position of the mobile device. The frequency can be based upon the total number of plays of the media file, the number of unique plays of the media file, or from trend data received from an external resource.

A shared data store may be accessible to a plurality of electronic devices and used to share files in a collaboration setting. A shared file is shared by a first electronic device with a second device via a connection between the first electronic device and the shared data store. A coordinating electronic device associated with the shared data store monitors the connection with the first electronic device. If a loss in the connection is detected, the coordinating electronic device may cause access to the shared file to become restricted to the second electronic device responsive to the loss of the connection.

Controlling access to a shared file

The present matter relates to a method and system for alerting unopened items in communications, particularly attachments and external resources referenced (e.g. Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) or other Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs), etc.), in communications such as email or meeting invite messages. The alerting may be triggered by a meeting reminder, telephone communication, search or other event. Alerting may be to senders, recipients or both.

Method and system for alerting unopened items in communications

A system, server, mobile device, and method for determining action spot location. The action spot location can be determined relative to the location of a mobile device. The mobile device can include a display and a processor module communicatively coupled to the display. The system, server, mobile device, and method can receive data indicative of the current location of the mobile device, and determine at least one action spot relative to the current location of the mobile device. The action spot can be a location where at least one other mobile device has engaged in documenting action within a predetermined period of time from when the mobile device arrived at the current location.

A communications system may include at least one first near field communication (NFC) device associated with an object, and a mobile wireless communications device. The mobile wireless communications device may include a second NFC device configured to communicate with the at least one first NFC device based upon proximity thereto, an image sensor, and a controller coupled to the second NFC device and the image sensor. The controller may be configured to determine at least one archive image of the object based upon NFC communication between the second NFC device and the at least one first NFC device, determine a sensed image of the object from the image sensor, and perform image comparison between the at least one archive image and the sensed image.

The present document describes games using darts or arrows. More particularly, this description relates to targets and accessories used for new games.

Games using darts or arrows

A disclosure provides mobile communication devices that receive information corresponding to users associated with target mobile communication device, via a near field communication protocol. The information is stored in a storage device either within the mobile communication device or within a separate server. If it is determined that the target mobile communication device is within a predetermined distance of the mobile communication device, data entries associated with the stored information are created and retrieved, in real time. The data entries are displayed on the mobile communication device. The data entries may include personal information or email messages from prior communication sessions, which are employed in future communications between the mobile communication devices.

Efficiency of electronic message communications between mobile communication devices

A method is provided for a mobile device to display information associated with a digital diary. The method comprises the mobile device initiating a search of a plurality of digital diaries for at least one digital diary containing information that indicates that an owner of the at least one digital diary currently is or previously has been present in the current location of the mobile device, and the mobile device displaying information associated with the at least one digital diary.

Knowledge base broadcasting

A system and method for determining action spot locations relative to the location of a mobile device includes a display and a processor module communicatively coupled to the display. The processor module is configured to receive executable instructions to display a graphical user interface of the display; receive data indicative of the current location of the mobile device; and determine at least one action spot relative to the current location of the mobile device. The processor module can signify the action spot on the graphical user interface and provide an indication of activity level occurring at the action spot. The action spot can be a location where at least one other mobile device has engaged in documenting action within a predetermined period of time from when the mobile device arrived at the current location.
