Each edge between the resource nodes and the location nodes represents a reference in the resource represented by the resource node to the geographic location represented by the location node. The method includes initializing scores in the location graph for resource nodes or location nodes or both; calculating a score for each resource node based on scores for location nodes sharing …

A pre-fetching map data system and method identifies a subset of map data to corresponding to one or more points of interest to be displayed on the map. The map data is stored on a remote map database and in the form of map data tiles bearing version numbers. The pre-fetching map data system identifying those map data tiles that correspond to the subset of map data corresponding to the one or more points of interest, where the identified pre-fetch map data tiles are sent from the remote database to a client device for storing the pre-fetch map data tiles. …

This paper discusses an automated system in which publishers would be able to tell the advertisement platform which features they would value having and how much these features are worth to them. The advertisement platform can decide which features to develop as well as which publishers to invite to join the advertisement platform. The advertisement platform uses the information about how the publishers value certain features to find publishers who value the same features, before the advertisement platform develops the features. The advertisement platform may invite the publishers who value the same features to join the system, and may make …

Current gateway-based metering is not capable of capturing secured traffic because the gateway sits in the middle of the server-client transaction. A current solution uses client-side metering for secured traffic and gateway-based metering for unsecured traffic. This current solution is becoming less practical with the ever-increasing use of encryption for Internet delivered traffic. To overcome the above-noted problems, and other problems, with metering Internet traffic, disclosed herein are systems and methods that enable such secured traffic to be metered at a router or gateway.
