Abstract:
Music can be broadcast from a radio station and recorded onto a cache of a personal electronic device, such as a portable digital music player. The recording can occur such that there is segmenting of music into different cache portions based upon classification. Instead of playing music from the radio station, music can be played from the cache to ensure high quality and desirable variety. Different rules can be used to govern which music is played as well as how music should be removed from the cache. In addition, targeted advertisements can be used that relate to the music in the cache as well as a user location.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for determining a suitability for a mobile client to display information are disclosed. A particular exemplary method includes receiving a plurality of sets of one or more first keywords on a mobile client, each set of first keywords associated with one or more respective first messages, monitoring user interaction of the respective first messages on the mobile client, performing learning operations on the mobile client with the first keywords based on monitored user interaction to estimate a set of keyword interest weights, receiving a set of target keywords associated with a target message, and displaying the target message on the mobile client based on the estimated keyword interest weights.
Abstract:
The described apparatus and methods include a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point having a wireless wide area network (WWAN) backhaul connection to provide a gateway between a LAN and a WAN. In one example, the access point may be a cellular telephone. Here, a processor in the access point is configured to generate a plurality of master keys, such that a plurality of access terminals may each utilize a respective one of the master keys to access the LAN. Further, the processor is configured to enable control of an allocation of resources to at least one of the access terminals.

A particular exemplary method includes receiving a plurality of sets of one or more first keywords on a mobile client, each set of first keywords associated with one or more respective first messages, monitoring user interaction of the respective first messages on the mobile client, determining a user selection rate for each unique first keyword of the plurality of sets of first keywords, receiving a set of target keywords associated with a target message, performing one or more matching operations between the set of target keywords and corresponding user selection rates to produce a set of one or more matching parameters, and displaying the target message on the mobile client dependent upon the matching parameters.
Abstract:
A method for providing targeted content-messages on a wireless access terminal (W-AT) includes receiving metadata concerning a pool of content-messages from a remote apparatus, filtering the metadata based on a user profile on the W-AT to select at least one specific content-message, and receiving the at least one specific content-message from the pool of content-messages.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing user information from a wireless access terminal (W-AT) to a remote apparatus without revealing a primary identity of the user of the W-AT include generating an alternate user identifier for the W-AT, and providing the alternate user identifier and first information related to targeted-contentmessage information and/or user profile information to the remote apparatus.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for of generating a user profile for use in providing targeted-content-messages to a wireless access terminal (W-AT) are disclosed. For example, a user profile with at least one profile element may be provided to the W-AT, and a profile confidence level for the profile element may be also provided.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus facilitating access to a communication session for a client is provided. The method may comprise receiving, at a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), an access request from a client, wherein the MVNO is associated with a set of mobile network operators (MNOs), receiving, from the client, client connection parameters associated with at least one of the set of MNOs, formulating at least one option for a communication session over a network associated with at least one of the set of MNOs, the at least one option based on the client connection parameters and MVNO-connection parameters associated with the set of MNOs, and establishing a selected communication session based on the at least one option.
Abstract:
Information transfer methods for exchange of information with a wireless access terminal (W-AT) includes receiving a first message from the W-AT, the first message including first information provided by the W-AT and an address of the WAT capable of identifying the W-AT, converting the first message to an anonymized message by replacing the W-AT address with a transaction identifier (ID), transmitting the anonymized message to a remote server, receiving a first response from the remote server, the first response having response information and the anonymized address information, converting the first response to a second response by replacing the transaction ID with the W-AT address, and transmitting the second response to the W-AT.
