A method of distributing electronic audio or video content from a distributing computer system to a user device (such as a computer, PDA or mobile telephone) over a telecommunications network, comprising: the distributing computer system detecting at least one characteristic of the user device, the distributing computer system selecting a version of the content according to the characteristic, and the distributing computer system transmitting to the user device the selected version of the content. The invention also provides a method of processing electronic content comprising: encoding the content with programming code indicative of playback preferences, for facilitating preloading of the content, for detecting at least one characteristic of a user device or a communications link thereto, or any combination of these. The programming code may be inserted automatically or manually, and may comprise a link.

A system and method for authenticating user requests issued from embedded applets running on web-accessible user devices. The server system generates authentication tokens associated with user credentials, in response to user requests for HTML pages that include the embedded applets. The server system stores the authentication tokens on the server system, and includes the authentication tokens in URLs within applet tags in the HTML pages returned to the user devices. When the applets download and request content from the server system, the applets supply the previously included authentication tokens in the URLs that identify the requested content. Upon finding a match between the applet-supplied authentication tokens and the stored authentication tokens, the server identifies the user as a trusted user, and responds with the requested content. This can be used to eliminate HTTP- based authentication challenges for subsequent user access.

A system and method for analyzing behavior in a video is described. The method includes extracting a plurality of salient fragments of a video; building a database of the plurality of salient fragments; generating a focalized visualization, based on a time anchor, from the one or more salient fragments of the video; tagging a human subject in the focalized visualization with a unique identifier; analyzing the focalized visualization, based on the unique identifier, to generate a behavior score; and providing the behavior score via the user device.

A system and method for identifying whether an article is properly presented and duly owned by or licensed to a user and releasing assigned content to the user upon confirmation of such verifiably owned or licensed article. A manipulated user device equipped with at least one camera is deployed to determine if the article is properly presented. The device captures images and the system has the ability to determine from the images and any additional spatial information the orientation and/or position parameters of the article to confirm whether a valid spatial relationship exists between the article and the user device. Due ownership or license is verified by relying on tokens (e.g., Non-Fungible Tokens) and blockchain transaction records. The assigned content released to the user can be contextual and can range from items such as images, music, videos, games, virtual content, augmented content, coupons (virtual or physical), promotions, special offers and the like.

A method for providing service to an end user, the method includes: converting images to multiple end user device readable pictures; receiving a request from an end user to display at least one image, wherein the request is conveyed over a TVOD infrastructure; and providing the end user with a stream of end user device readable pictures that includes at least one end user device readable picture that corresponds to the requested image.

A controller stores a new notification in a storage section when receiving a new notification to a user device. The controller checks, in the storage section, a use status of an application of the user device. The controller determines a notification method for outputting the notification stored in the storage section to an application display of the application when determining that the application is in use based on the use status.

A base station device comprises a means for preparing PHICHs, a means for mapping, according to a predetermined mapping table, each of the PHICHs of the number of user multiplexes to an I-channel or a Q-channel, and a means for notifying each of the users of a PHICH. A user device comprises a means for demodulating a downlink control signal including the allocation information of uplink radio resources, a means for transmitting, according to the allocation information, a shared data channel by using an uplink, and a means for retrieving a PHICH indicating necessity or unnecessity of retransmission of the shared data channel from the downlink control signal according to the predetermined mapping table. The mapping table indicates that when the number of user multiplexes is a predetermined number or less, a PHICH is made to be corresponding to only the I-channel or the Q-channel and when the number of user multiplexes is greater than the predetermined number, the PHICH is made to be corresponding to the I-channel and the Q-channel.

Disclosed are systems and methods for controlling access to data on mobile devices using an accessibility API for users with disabilities. An exemplary method comprises: registering on a mobile device a security application as a service for users with disabilities, wherein the security application provides an accessibility API for the users with disabilities that comprises a plurality of accessibility API functions; intercepting, using the accessibility API, data accessed by a user application being executed on the user device; determining, by the security application, a category of intercepted data; intercepting, using the accessibility API, events of execution of the user application on the user device; determining, by the security application, an access control policy for accessing the intercepted data based on the category of intercepted data and intercepted events; and controlling, using the accessibility API, access of the user application to the intercepted data based on the determined access control policy.

Provided herein is a web-based system for customer relationship management and a method for operating the system. The system provides a cloud computing system that includes a server initiating a web service, a CRM database associated with the cloud system for recording customer data, and a browser-based user device that launches a browser to log into the cloud computing system for accessing the CRM database. A browser is enabled in the user device to execute a script transmitted from the system for performing a method for operating the system. Through GUIs initiated by the browser while linking with the web service, the CRM database is more easily accessible. A user can obtain all kinds of information relating the customer, can easily reach the customers, and can instantly be made aware of and solve their problems through the web service so as to establish a close relationship with customers.

A method and system for providing protection to users working in a field are provided. Further, the method may include steps of receiving user data associated with the users from user devices, receiving sensor data associated with the users from sensors comprised in the user devices, analyzing the user data and the sensor data, determining a condition of the users based on the analyzing, comparing the condition with alert triggering conditions based on the determining of the condition, generating alert notifications for the users based on the comparing of the condition with the alert triggering conditions, transmitting the alert notifications to emergency contact devices associated with emergency contacts of the users, and storing the user data, the sensor data, the condition, and the alert notifications.

Techniques are disclosed pertaining to determining a level of proficiency of a user at a computer simulation through the use of a plurality of skill assessment tests. Each skill assessment test can test a respective skill for use in the computer simulation. The techniques can also be used to train a user for the computer simulation and/or to determine team composition using roles for use in the computer simulation. In some aspects, skill assessment tests may incorporate multiple iterations in including a first base line iteration and subsequent iterations that differ between user devices. In some embodiments, metrics that are indicative of a level of proficiency of the user can be made with respect to metrics of other users to determine a user's level of skill with respect to various groups of other users.
