Abstract:
Authorization of a file on a computer is provided for using a cryptographic hash of the file or other identifier to find one or more content ratings. Content ratings, coupled with source and publisher ratings, are used to evaluate the file against an authorization policy set up by a user, manufacturer, or corporate IT department. Files which are suspect due to low ratings are not authorized to run on the computer. Files for which little information can be found are left to the user to decide whether to authorize. Rating services provide aggregated content ratings based on editorial or user reviews, and index their searchable ratings based on cryptographic hashes of the files being evaluated. Rating services provide allow lists and exclude lists or may provide individual responses to queries containing cryptographic hashes of files.
Abstract:
Described herein are one or more computer operating environments that include a standard set of web services via a communications network (e.g., the Internet) and a mechanism for extending the standard set of web services to execute one or more extended web services. Since these extended web services may be produced by an unconfirmed or untrusted source (e.g., a third-party software developer), the described computer operating environments isolate the extended web services from the standard set of web services and from the communication network. Furthermore, each extended web service is an isolated process (isoproc) with a limited ability to communicate with other services. In particular, each isoproc's ability to communicate is limited to only associated defined communication channels over which it has express permission to communicate.
Abstract:
In scenarios involving a data set accessible through a protocol, operations sets may be formulated for performing various operations on the data set, and may be expressed as resource scripts according to a scripting language. However, such resource scripts may be difficult to design due to the complicated aspects of the interaction, such as asynchrony, network transport, the syntax of the scripting language, and the details of the protocol. A design environment may be devised to facilitate designers in generating resource scripts, e.g., through the manipulation of visual elements. The design environment may abstract the lower-level working details of the resource scripts, and may allow designers to focus on the logical designing of the operations set. The design environment may then automatically generate the resource script from the operations set in accordance with the constraints of the script language and the protocol.
Abstract:
Provided is a single repository for capturing, connecting, sharing, and visualizing information based on a geographic location, for example. Detailed information of a structure or object information can be displayed on a rooftop or over an area of interest. The detailed information can be provided for a single structure or for each structure shown on a map area. According to an embodiment is a system that facilitates surface overlay and bounding on a map. The system can include a receiver component that receives information for an object, a boundary component that ascertains a perimeter of the object, and a rendering component that selectively displays the object information and object on a map based in part on a user perspective.

Abstract:
En la presente invencion se describen uno o mas ambientes de operacion en computadora que incluyen un grupo estandar de servicios web a traves de una red de comunicacion (por ejemplo la Internet) y un mecanismo para extender el grupo estandar de servicios web para ejecutar uno o mas servicios web extendidos. Ya que estos servicios web extendidos pueden ser producidos a traves de una fuente no confirmada o no confiable (por ejemplo un desarrollador de software de tercera parte), los ambientes de operacion de computo descritos aislan los servicios web extendidos del grupo estandar de servicios web y la red de comunicacion. Ademas, cada servicio web extendido es un proceso aislado (isoproc) con una capacidad limitada para comunicarse con otros servicios. En particular, la capacidad de cada isoproc's para comunicarse esta limitada unicamente a canales de comunicacion definidos asociados a traves de los cuales tiene permiso expreso de comunicarse.
