A mobile computing device receives audio data comprising an audio encoding of a unique identifier associated with a movie trailer. The mobile computing device or a remote computing device decodes the audio encoding using a decoder and generates non-audio data comprising the unique identifier responsive to the decoding. The mobile computing device or the remote computing device determines that the unique identifier is associated with the movie trailer. The mobile computing device generates a prompt for user feedback regarding the movie trailer, receives the user feedback regarding the movie trailer, and sends the user feedback to the remote computing device.

Movie trailer voting system with audio movie trailer identification

A computing device receives audio data and identifies a movie trailer from the audio data. The computing device generates a prompt for user feedback regarding a movie associated with the movie trailer. The computing device receives user feedback from a user regarding the movie associated with the movie trailer. The computing device determines a likelihood that the user will attend a showing of the movie at a theater based on the user feedback.

An image associated with a location and depicting the current weather conditions at the location is served to the user along with the current weather data of the location. If an image for the location that aptly depicts the weather conditions as indicated by the weather data cannot be identified, the geographical area associated with the location is expanded to search for appropriate images from an expanded image pool. The expansion can continue in one or more steps until a threshold is reached beyond which the geographical area my no longer be expanded. If no images are retrieved upon reaching the threshold, an image reflecting the weather condition is selected from a fallback image set for presentation with the weather data.

Displaying location-based images that match the weather conditions

A request is received to access a user account. A geolocation of a mobile device registered with the user account is obtained directly from the mobile device. Authentication credentials for the user account are verified for correctness. A mobile device geolocation verification request is transmitted to a cellular data provider. The cellular data provider is equipped to independently determine a true geolocation region of the mobile device for comparison with the geolocation of the mobile device as obtained directly from the mobile device. A verification response to the mobile device geolocation verification request is received from the cellular data provider. The verification response indicates whether or not the geolocation of the mobile device as obtained directly from the mobile device corresponds to the true geolocation region of the mobile device. A response to the access request based on the verification response is transmitted.

Methods and system for device authentication

A computer system that increases performance and reduces power consumption is described. Specifically, the system writes the contents of the system to a non-volatile memory cache before powering down. After repowering the system, the system initiates the load sequence from the memory cache.

Memory optimization for a computer system having a hibernation mode

A data transmission method and protocol includes progressive coding of a data set into time stamped data packets. The packets are ordered in importance, with some packets being more critical to received data quality than other packets from the same source. If packets are delayed in transit from a source to a receiver, packets of lesser importance are discarded after a set time, a transmission and decoding of a second set of time critical data begins.

System and method for streaming multimedia over packet networks

A power management system for digital circuitry uses data buffer monitoring to determine appropriate processor clock speed or voltage. This allows a processor to be switched from a low power state to a high power state when a monitored data buffer level feeding data to a power intensive application is greater than a second memory buffer level. The processor is switched from a high power state to a low power state when the monitored data buffer level is less than a first memory buffer level.
