International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

713182, 726 28

Abstract:

Behavioral fingerprints hold gathered data related to users' interactions with a device or devices, inter alia. Behavioral fingerprints may be used to at least partially determine a level of accessibility of the device or of an aspect of the device for the user; provide a current status of a network-accessible user associated with the device; activate or deactivate functions, programs or features of the device; generate alerts regarding the user's interaction with the device; assist in identifying a current device as a device being currently used by a network-accessible user, etc. Behavioral fingerprints may include statistical calculations on social network collected data, user input, sensor-provided data as provided by GPS, accelerometers, microphones, cameras, timers, touch-panels, or other indication or combination of the foregoing, whether originating from the device or the network. Anomalous activity associated with the device may be detected without user intervention at least in part with behavioral fingerprints.

US Classification:

381122, 700 94

Abstract:

Certain aspects relate to providing an at least one audio source to at least one user. Certain aspects relate to selectively modifying an at least one first sound source to be provided to the at least one user, wherein the at least one first sound source is combined with an at least one second sound source, and wherein the selectively modifying is performed relative to the at least one audio source based at least in part on at least some specific information of the at least one first sound source.
