International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37, 705 36, 705 35, 705 5, 705 26

Abstract:

An electronic auction system known as the Yahoo! Auction System provides functionality that permits users to conduct auction transactions with various payment units, such as incentive points and credit points, as well as money. Points can be earned in a variety of ways and redeemed via online auctions. The Yahoo! Auction System includes a web server, a messaging server, a database server, and various databases including an account database for storing information about account balance, expiration date for each point or group of points, and redemption information. The Yahoo! Auction System provides different auction formats, such as Standard Auction, Dutch Auction, Progressive Auction, Buy-or-Bid Auction, and Declining Bid Auction. The Yahoo! Auction System reserves the bid amount associated any new valid bid in the bidder's account and unreserves those bid amounts that were previously reserved but are no longer the winning bid or otherwise displaced from the top bid positions.

US Classification:

709218, 709217, 709219, 348113, 348116

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for generating geocoded user information is disclosed. The method comprises searching user data across multiple different data corpuses for entries having location-related information and determining locations for the location-related information. The method further comprises generating a map showing a current location of a mobile device along with representations of the entries having location-related information, at the determined locations, for entries from the multiple different data corpuses.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715740, 709203

Abstract:

A method of modifying, with a network-based application, a content item on a device is provided. The method may include receiving over a network, at a server, information describing the content item from the device. Next, information describing the content item is sent to a client computer and, at the client computer, the content item is presented to a user with the network-based application by displaying a graphical depiction of the device, the graphical depiction showing the content item as it would appear on a display of the device. A request is then received for a modification of the content item from the user using the network-based application. Finally, the request for the modification is sent to the device over the network.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

A method of modifying, with a network-based application, an inventory of one or more content items on a mobile device is provided. The method may include receiving, over a network at a client computer, from the server, the inventory on the mobile device. Next, a graphical depiction of the mobile device is presented on the client computer, the graphical depiction showing the inventory as the inventory would appear on a display of the mobile device. A request for a modification of the inventory is received by the client computer, and the request is sent to the mobile device over the network via the server.

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709221

Abstract:

A method of modifying, with a network-based application, a device setting of a mobile device is provided. The method may include receiving, over a network at a client computer, from a server, the device setting of the mobile device. The device setting may include a screen color, wireless connection information, a screen wallpaper, and a ringtone. A graphical depiction of the mobile device is presented at the client computer, a portion of the graphical depiction showing the device setting such that the device setting appears the device setting would appear on a display of the mobile device. A request for a modification of the device setting is received by the client computer. Finally, the request for the modification is sent to the mobile device over the network via the server.

Inventors:

Andrew E. Rubin - Portola Valley CA, US
David P. Conway - Los Altos CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

713 1

Abstract:

In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes storing a plurality of acceleration profiles in a mobile device; receiving accelerometer data from an accelerometer in the mobile device; correlating the accelerometer data with one accelerometer profile in the plurality of accelerometer profiles; and activating a user application of the mobile device that is associated with the correlated accelerometer profile. Each acceleration profile can correspond to a sequence of acceleration forces a mobile device would be subjected to when carried with a user during an activity that corresponds to the correlated acceleration profile.
