20100077018 | Virtual Presence Server - Techniques are disclosed for generating and managing presentities in accordance with a virtual presence server. By way of example, a method for requesting information from at least one server comprises the following steps. A client request, which expresses a request that can not be satisfied by a single existing presentity, is obtained at an intermediate server, wherein the intermediate server operates as a virtual presence server. The virtual presence server (i.e., intermediate server) creates a set of software objects for a virtual presentity, the set of objects embodying logic to combine presence information from one or more of existing presentities and external information sources, in accordance with at least one existing presence server. The virtual presence server creates an association between the request of the client and the created virtual presentity that allows the presence information to be propagated back to the client. | 03-25-2010 |

Embodiments organize the existing QPCs into a hierarchy such that a QPC/virtual presentity at a higher layer fetches presence information of all or some presentities from QPCs/virtual presentities at lower layer(s) to service the new query. | 06-28-2012 |
20120209852 | REAL-TIME DATA MINING - A significant recent trend in the internet and mobile telephony has been the dominance of user generated content.
