An exemplary method may include initializing an application node in the middleware corresponding to the application, the initializing comprising binding the function to the application node and associating the application node with a cryptor, connecting the middleware to a remote device through a transport layer using the cryptor, publishing a message to invoke the function from the application node, through the middleware, to the cryptor, and communicating with the remote device to invoke the function, using the cryptor, based on the message.

Abstract: A request is processed by a control device based on a detected proximity of a client device to the control device. The control device, which is intermediate to the client device and a beacon device, runs application software that receives the request generated using a client application running at the client device. The beacon device, upon receipt of an indication that the control device received the request, transmits a signal to detect a proximity of the client device to the control device. The application software receives data indicative of a response to the signal from the beacon device. The application software allows the request upon a determination that the data reflects the response is received. Alternatively, the application software allows the request upon a determination that the data indicates that the proximity of the client device to the control device satisfies a threshold.

Abstract: An example method of controlling notifications to a user of an electronic messaging system comprises controlling communication of a notification associated with a thread of the electronic messaging system to the user based on a determined level of interest of the user in a topic of the thread and at least one of: the obtained timing information relating to the timing of the most recent notification associated with the thread; and an obtained measure of similarity between the topic of the thread and a second topic associated with the most recent notification associated with the thread.

Abstract: A presence server in a network can receive capability information about a UE in a publish message, and make that capability information available to other UEs on the network. When the UE later deregisters from the network, the UE can send an unpublish message. However, the presence server can at least partially disregard the unpublish message and continue to make the capability information about the UE available to other UEs. The presence server can also filter capability information of one or more target UEs provided to a watcher UE based on a registration status of a target UE, capabilities of the watcher UE, and/or whether a set of target UEs associated with a single user share certain capabilities.

Abstract: A method may include assigning, to a category, a current email in response to a removal of one or more recipients of the current email, such that the remaining recipients of the current email are part of a same user group. The current email may be a response to a previous email having one or more recipients who are not part of the same user group. Furthermore, a subsequent email responding to the current email and/or is similar to the current email may also be assigned to the same category. One or more actions may be performed based on the current email and the subsequent email being assigned to the category. The actions may be performed to prevent the current email and the subsequent email from being sent to a recipient who is not part of the same user group. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating, identifying, and displaying message threads on a social messaging platform. One of the methods includes receiving a first and second messages posted to a social messaging platform by a user account; determining whether the second message is a reply to the first message posted by the user account; in response, determining if the first message is part of an existing message thread; in response to determining that the first message is not part of an existing thread, assigning a new thread identifier to both the first message and the second message, the thread identifier associating both messages with a new thread; in response to determining that the first message is part of an existing thread, assigning an existing thread identifier obtained from the first message to the second message.

Abstract: Electronic messages, such as emails, often ask questions, ask that a task be done, or assign a task. The responsive messages often forget to answer the questions and the responders often forget to calendar tasks. Advances in natural language processing provide computers the ability to notice the questions and task requests/assignments. Automated analysis of the messages can detect and highlight questions, can provide for draft responses addressing every question, and can provide for getting tasks calendared.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for performing email synchronization in situations where mobile-device connectivity is lacking. The mobile device can send an SMS message to an email notification server requesting email synchronization and the email notification server can request synchronization with the email server associated with the user's email account. After receiving an email from the email server, the email notification server can encrypt the email and break it into various chunks, with each chunk including a header having identifying information. The chunks can be transmitted as SMS messages to the mobile device. The email application can retrieve the SMS messages, decrypt them, and reconstruct the email. The email application can then display the email for the user.
