The method comprises determining a time for capturing of a piece of media content; connecting, via the Internet, to at least one bulletin service; acquiring from the at least one bulletin service, a data string indicating information associated with the determined time; and including the data string into metadata associated with the piece of media content. A portable electronic device and a computer program are also disclosed. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110205850 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING CALENDAR EVENTS USING LOCATION INFORMATION - To enhance calendar functionality, location tracking may be used to draw an inference that a calendar event has been satisfied. Upon the inferred satisfaction of the calendar event, a status of the calendar event may be updated from “outstanding” to “completed.” If the calendar event is shared with another person, a message may be transmitted to an electronic device of the other individual to alert that person to the completion of the calendar event. Location tracking may include identifying that an electronic device moves toward a location associated with the calendar event, identifying that the electronic device comes to a relative stop within a predetermined distance of the location associated with the calendar event, and departs the location associated with the calendar event. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110225151 | METHODS, DEVICES, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR CLASSIFYING DIGITAL MEDIA FILES BASED ON ASSOCIATED GEOGRAPHICAL IDENTIFICATION METADATA - A method for classifying digital media files includes obtaining geographical information from geographical identification metadata associated with one or more digital media files stored in a memory of a mobile terminal, and assigning a respective ranking to the one or more digital media files within one or more media classification categories based on the obtained geographical information. A summary view of the one or more ranked digital media files is displayed, the summary view including two axes, each axis corresponding to at least one of the one or more media classification categories. A travel profile for a user of the mobile terminal, including the user's travel preferences as determined by the respective ranking of at least one ranked digital media file in one or more of the media classification categories, is generated, and relevant travel information is presented to the user. Related devices and computer program products are also discussed. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20080219171 | Systems and methods for the implementation of a remote test access feature using virtual connection points and sub-network connections - The present invention provides systems and methods for the implementation of a remote test access feature using virtual connection points and sub-network connections by the merge-and-split of flexible permanent virtual circuits. The remote test access feature of the present invention represents a highly flexible and fully automated technique that utilizes and exploits a network cloud. A sub-network connection is created between a remote test set and a connection termination point of a circuit of interest through the provision of two endpoints of interest. Subsequently, monitoring and management capabilities are established and operation, administration, and maintenance functions are performed at a centralized location using a network management system. The remote tap used may employ any protection scheme and mesh restore, as necessary, either manually or automatically, in the event of signal degrade or failure scenarios. The endpoint of the remote tap may be selectively changed, and the remote tap re-groomed for a different circuit of interest via a simple point-and-click. Thus, problems anywhere in the transport network may be tracked down. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20120294610 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATIC CARVING AND POLICY ENFORCEMENT FOR OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORK HIERARCHY - The present disclosure provides methods and systems for automatic carving of Optical channel Data Unit k (ODUk) levels on connection creation as well as the enforcement of an OTN hierarchy policy. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides several methods of automatically carving Optical channel Data Tributary Unit Group (ODTUG) structures down to a desired ODUk layer during end-to-end circuit setup. These methods may include a recursively descending algorithm, an iterative array algorithm, and an ordered linked list algorithm. Additionally, to interoperate with network elements which may have a fixed ODTUG structure within an Optical channel Transport Unit (OTU), a method of policy enforcement describing each ODUk layer mapped into ODTUG structures is used to select a best match of the currently provisioned ODUk layers. | 11-22-2012 |

| 20140186019 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF PRESERVING CLIENT OVERHEAD BYTES IN OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORK TUNNELING APPLICATIONS - A method, a network, and a node each implement the transmission of Automatic Protection Switching (APS) switching coordination bytes across an OTN network. A working signal and a protection signal are received, one of which is designated as an active signal. The active signal is encapsulated in an Optical channel Data Unit (ODU) signal. APS switching coordination bytes from the working and protection signals are placed in an overhead segment of the ODU signal. The ODU signal is transmitted into and received from an Optical Transport Network (OTN) network. The working and protection signals are recreated based on the active signal encapsulated in the ODU signal and the APS switching coordination bytes in the overhead segment. The recreated working and protection signals are transmitted. In this manner, a single ODU signal may be used to transmit both the working and protection signals. | 07-03-2014 |

| 20080285449 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROGRAMMING CONNECTIONS THROUGH A MULTI-STAGE SWITCH FABRIC WITH BLOCKING RECOVERY, BACKGROUND REBALANCING, AND ROLLBACK - The present invention provides systems and methods for programming connections through a multi-stage switch fabric. The present invention utilizes load-balancing, blocking recovery, background rebalancing, and rollback algorithms to select and manage connection balance on center stage switches in the multi-stage switch fabric for new and modified connections. The load-balancing algorithm attempts to spread the multi-connection slices across center stage switches as evenly as possible, to increase the probability that future multi-connection slices can be added without needing to rearrange existing slices. Advantageously, the present invention is efficient by making the best possible local decision for one multi-connection slice at a time, without considering other multi-connection slices that may also need center switch assignments. Additionally blocking recovery, rollback and background rebalancing features are also supported. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090202240 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PARALLEL MULTI-CORE CONTROL PLANE PROCESSING - The present invention provides systems and methods for parallel multi-core control plane processing with optical networks. This enables optical switches utilizing control planes, such as G.ASON, to meet scalability and performance requirements of evolving networks. The multi-core processing is configured to handle call control for sub-network connections (SNCs) (e.g., requests for creates, failures, restores, routing). Additional control plane functions, such as signaling and related interfaces, routing connection admission control (CAC), naming and addressing, and the like, can also be processed in parallel. | 08-13-2009 |
