20130170752 | IMAGE, AUDIO, AND METADATA INPUTS FOR KEYWORD RESOURCE NAVIGATION LINKS - A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that implements a resource navigation links tool that receives one or more inputs, extracts information from the inputs into a submission string, submits the submission string to a resource navigation links tool, and receives resource navigation links based on the submission string. Inputs types may include images, audio clips, and metadata. The inputs sources may be processed to extract information related to the image source to build the submission string. | 07-04-2013 |
20130173701 | IMAGE, AUDIO, AND METADATA INPUTS FOR NAME SUGGESTION - A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that implements a domain name registration suggestion tool that receives one or more inputs, extracts information from the inputs into a submission string, submits the submission string to a domain name suggestion tool, and receives domain name suggestions based on the submission string. Inputs types may include images, audio clips, and metadata. The inputs sources may be processed to extract information related to the image source to build the submission string. | 07-04-2013 |
20130204415 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING SIGNAL-DERIVED SEGMENTED IDENTIFIERS TO MANAGE RESOURCE CONTENTION AND CONTROL ACCESS TO DATA AND FUNCTIONS - Systems and methods are provided for using a hidden audio signal. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving, by a user device, media associated with at least one identifier. The identifier includes at least one identifier segment associated with at least one channel identifier. The method further includes causing the at least one identifier to be decoded, and sending a request including the at least one identifier to a resolution provider. In addition, the method include receiving information from the resolution provider, where the information is associated with the at least one identifier. Additionally, the method includes identifying, by the user device, at least one application operating on the user device that is authorized to receive the information associated with the at least one identifier, based on at least one of the content of the identifier or the channel identifier, and delivering the information to the at least one application that is identified. | 08-08-2013 |
20140156702 | SMART NAVIGATION SERVICES - Techniques for smart navigation are presented. The techniques can include receiving, at a navigation service and via the internet, a request for a network resource, where the request includes command data provided by a navigation client, and where the command data includes an entity name and a keyword. The techniques can include obtaining, from at least one database of the navigation service, a network locator corresponding to the entity name and the keyword. The techniques can further include providing, in response to the receiving and via the internet, the network locator. | 06-05-2014 |
20150026301 | SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR MOBILE DEVICE DETECTION - Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting mobile devices. In one implementation, a system includes a web server. The web server receives mobile device detection strings from a DNS server in response to a DNS request and stores the mobile device detection strings on the server. The web server uses the mobile device detection strings to determine if a client device making a request to the web server is a mobile device. The web server may determine if the client device is a mobile device by comparing a user agent string in the request to the mobile device detection strings. The web server may determine whether the client device is a mobile device before sending the client device's request to any server-side scripts stored at the web server. | 01-22-2015 |
20150234929 | MULTI-MODE BARCODE RESOLUTION SYSTEM - Methods and systems for generating and resolving multi-mode barcodes include a device scanning and translating graphical data representing a barcode pattern into barcode information. The device detects distinct data items in the barcode information that each specifies an action to be taken by the device, and then transmits a request for a preference order to a remote server. Next, the device receives the preference order indicating a ranking of the distinct data items and determines, based on the ranking, an order in which actions specified by the data items are to be taken by the device. The device identifies a data item that the device is capable of taking the action specified by the data item and has a higher ranking in the preference order than the actions specified by all other data items that the device is capable of taking, and performs the action specified by the data item. | 08-20-2015 |
20150269259 | IMAGE, AUDIO, AND METADATA INPUTS FOR KEYWORD RESOURCE NAVIGATION LINKS - A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that implements a resource navigation links tool that receives one or more inputs, extracts information from the inputs into a submission string, submits the submission string to a resource navigation links tool, and receives resource navigation links based on the submission string. Inputs types may include images, audio clips, and metadata. The inputs sources may be processed to extract information related to the image source to build the submission string. | 09-24-2015 |
