Abstract: Techniques to replicate data using uploads from messaging clients are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a messaging server component operative to determine a sharing event for a data item, the sharing event associated with a source client device with a local storage of the data item, and request the source client device upload the data item in response to a determination that network storage of the data item is scheduled for relocation; and a storage management component operative to determine that the network storage of the data item is scheduled for relocation from a source storage and de-schedule the relocation of the data item from the source storage device.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided for dynamically muting or suppressing notifications of new communications. When a new communication is received for a user of a communication device (e.g., a mobile telephone, a computer) while notifications are muted, no notification may be issued to the user or, alternatively, a muted notification that differs from a normal notification may be issued. A muted notification may have muted sound or no sound, abbreviated vibration or no vibration, or may otherwise be a dampened version of a normal notification. Dynamic muting may be applied or managed on the user's device or on a system that hosts the communication application for which notifications are muted. Different applications and/or communication sessions (e.g., different chat groups) may be muted differently (e.g., for different periods of time). When a group chat session is muted, the duration of muting may be proportional to the number of participants.
Abstract translation: 提供了用于动态地抑制或抑制新通信的通知的系统和方法。 当在通知被静音时为通信设备（例如，移动电话，计算机）的用户接收到新的通信时，不会向用户发出通知，或者替代地，与正常通知不同的静音通知 发行。 静音通知可能具有静音或无声音，缩写振动或无振动，否则可能是正常通知的衰减版本。 动态静音可以在用户的设备上或在承载静音通知的通信应用的系统上应用或管理。 不同的应用和/或通信会话（例如，不同的聊天组）可以被不同地（例如，不同的时间段）静音。 当组聊天会话静音时，静音的持续时间可能与参与者的数量成正比。

Abstract: A system and method for automatically verifying a telephone number proffered by a user of an application. During registration or installation of the application, client software is installed on the user's mobile device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer). One of a pool of telephone numbers for outgoing calls is selected, and a call is initiated to the proffered number by the system. The software executing on the user's device detects the incoming call, extracts caller identification data (i.e., the originating telephone number), formats a data communication (e.g., an http request) to include the data, and sends it to the system. The system receives the data communication and compares the data with the originating number. If they match, the user's telephone number is verified. The outgoing call from the system may be canceled before it rings at the device if the data communication is received in time.
Abstract translation: 一种用于自动验证由应用程序的用户提供的电话号码的系统和方法。 在注册或安装应用程序期间，客户端软件安装在用户的移动设备（例如，智能电话，平板电脑）上。 选择一个用于呼出呼叫的电话号码池之一，系统发起呼叫号码。 在用户设备上执行的软件检测来电，提取呼叫者识别数据（即始发电话号码），格式化数据通信（例如，http请求）以包括数据，并将其发送到系统。 系统接收数据通信并将数据与始发数进行比较。 如果匹配，则验证用户的电话号码。 如果在时间上接收到数据通信，则在系统振铃之前可能会取消来自系统的呼出。

Abstract: A system and method for detecting unwanted electronic content, such as spam. As a user operates an application to send messages, several metrics are tracked to allow the system to analyze her activity. Illustrative metrics may include, but are not limited to, block count (e.g., how many other users have blocked her), block rate (e.g., the rate at which other users block her), peer symmetry (e.g., percentage of her messages that are to other users that have her in their address book), message uniqueness (e.g., how unique her messages are from each other), peer uniqueness (e.g., how unique the addressees of her messages are), and message rate (e.g., the rate at which she sends messages). Periodically, metrics may be compared to corresponding thresholds. Depending on whether a threshold is crossed, and which threshold is crossed, she may be banned from using the application or placed on a watch list.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, graphical user interface and methods are provided for conducting electronic voice communications with status notifications. A user of a first portable device executing a communication application selects a multi-function control that automatically initiates an audio recording, which is automatically sent toward another participant of an active communication session when the control is released. The same multi-function control may be used to transmit a textual message. A representation of the recording is displayed on the user's device, with an indicator that changes appearance when the other participant plays the recording. In addition, when one user initiates an audio recording that will be automatically sent to another user, the other user's device is advised of the initiation of recording and displays that status for the other user.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for asserting the authenticity of digital content being communicated among client devices of a communication or computer system by configuring the digital content with one or more sensor responsive elements. The sensor responsive element may be a visual interface that dynamically reacts or responds to sensor data generated by one or more sensors (such as a gyroscope sensor, a microphone, and a camera) of a receiving client device. If the sensor responsive element does not dynamically react or respond to movement data, image data, or sound data generated by the one or more sensors, the digital content may fail user inspection and may indicate to the recipient that the digital content is a fake or a counterfeit.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and methods are provided for facilitating payment for a third party's use of an application by a current user. The current user, or payor, initiates the process within the application by selecting one or more recipients. The system that hosts the application then determines which of the third parties are eligible. A target recipient may be ineligible because her application subscription never expires, because it doesn't expire within a threshold period of time, or for some other reason. The system identifies the target recipients that are eligible, and the payor may configure the gift payment (e.g., by choosing a duration of the subscription). The payor then chooses a method of electronic payment and, depending on the method selected, may redeem a coupon with the application host system, or the process may complete automatically. The payor and/or the recipient(s) may be notified of successful activation of the subscription(s).

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for anonymizing information in an end-to-end (E2E) encrypted environment; the information may include, for example, statistical data about unique page/message views, view counts, view time, what users selected on the message or page, etc. Exemplary embodiments may prevent an E2E system server from being able to identify which user is associated with which record. Various examples are described, including an embodiment in which an originating client generates the data, encrypts it, and sends it to a random contact. The contact decrypts the data, re-encyrpts it, and sends it to another random contact. The procedure continues for a set amount of time or for a set number of hops. Other embodiments relate to wrapping the data in various layers of encryption and sending the data to clients in a chain. The encrypted layers prevent clients along the chain from being able to view the anonymized data.
