In one embodiment, a video processing systemmay filter a video data set to correct skew and wobble using a central processing unitand a graphical processing unit. The video processing systemmay apply a rolling shutter effect correction filter to an initial version of a video data set. The video processing systemmay simultaneously apply a video stabilization filter to the initial version to produce a final version video data set.

Joint video stabilization and rolling shutter correction on a generic platform

Techniques for increasing the battery life on a mobile device by decreasing the energy consumption of the mobile device's wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface are described. In one embodiment, the mobile device's Wi-Fi interface is automatically disabled when the device is not engaged. When the device receives a wake up call from a server via its Cellular interface, the Wi-Fi interface is enabled if the device answers the wake up call and the Wi-Fi interface is available. Using its Wi-Fi interface, the mobile device then connects to an IP-based network via a Wi-Fi access point.

Signaling over cellular networks to reduce the Wi-Fi energy consumption of mobile devices

Populating a contact entry with selected entity information based on an identifier associated with a call (e.g., a telephone call, VoIP call, text message, electronic mail message, or any other communication). As the call is detected, entity information for the identifier (e.g., a telephone number, VoIP address, MAC address, etc.) is generated. The entity information is filtered based on a category of the entity information, user preferences, location of a computing device (e.g., mobile telephone) of the user, or other filtering criteria. The filtered entity information is associated with the contact entry for the identifier, thereby enhancing the contact entry while reducing typing on the computing device. In some embodiments, additional information such as advertisements for a competitor of the entity are provided to the user.

Contact entry population from call entity information

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for securely obtaining memory content after a device malfunction. For example, applications, components, and/or an operating system of a device may maintain information within volatile memory in a secure manner (e.g., using encryption). When the device malfunctions, such information may be useful for diagnosing what caused the malfunction. Accordingly, memory content within volatile memory may be securely retrieved, encrypted, and/or stored before such memory content is flushed/removed from volatile memory. For example, a warm reset is performed to initially reboot the device without removing memory content from volatile memory. The memory content may be retrieved and encrypted to create encrypted memory content that may be stored within nonvolatile memory for later access. After a second reboot, device malfunction information may be obtained by decrypting the encrypted memory content using a private key matching a public key used to encrypt the memory content.

Securely obtaining memory content after device malfunction

Defining and applying policies to manage data traffic including data transmitted and/or received by each of a plurality of applications executing on a computing device. The data traffic is monitored per application and attributes are defined for the monitored data traffic to enable the user to evaluate the data traffic for each application. Usage patterns are determined based on the monitored data traffic and the attributes to create one or more policies. The policies are applied to prevent each application from exceeding a corresponding data usage limit defined by the policies.

Managing network usage per application via policies

Techniques for increasing the battery life on a mobile device by decreasing the energy consumption of the mobile device's wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface are described. In one embodiment, the mobile device's Wi-Fi interface is automatically disabled when the device is not engaged in a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) call via the Wi-Fi interface. When a VoIP call is initiated on the device, or when the device receives a wake up call from a server via its Cellular interface, the Wi-Fi interface is automatically enabled. Using its Wi-Fi interface, the mobile device then connects to an IP-based network via a Wi-Fi access point. The server then initiates a direct call, wherein VoIP technology is used by the mobile device, between the mobile device and a VoIP calling device.
