Abstract: A system is disclosed that provides functionality for users to manage and use chat channels. This system enables admin users of the chat channel to manage channel lines, and options for channel line members to manage chat line presentity status such as hold and resume and apply controls such as transfer and forward or bridge the chat with the PSTN network. The chat channels provide a range of chat communications modes including intercom, inbound, shout-down, open, conference, and direct messaging. The intercom mode provides secure group chat for the channel line members, and the inbound mode allows non channel members to initiate secure group chat with the channel line members.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for extracting information associated with one networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), based on information associated with a different networking transmission protocol, such as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv4). More specifically, when resolving an IP address for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) through which a content file may be obtained, the system may base the resolved URL on attributes of an IPv4 address extracted from an IPv6 address for a machine associated with the request. In one particular example, a geographic location of a requested computing device or machine may be determined or estimated based on an IPv4 address extracted from an IPv6 address associated with the request.

Abstract: A method, system, and or computer program product manages message threads. A message server detects a message thread addressed to a client device. The message thread is an exchange of multiple message replies related to a first topic discussed in an initial message. The multiple message replies are from multiple other client devices. The message server caches the multiple message replies in a messages cache, and determines whether a quantity of messages in the message thread exceeds a predetermined limit during a specified amount of time. If so, then the message server generates a consolidated single message that describes content of the multiple message replies in the message thread, and transmits the consolidated single message to the client device, such that the consolidated single message replaces the multiple message replies for display on the client device.

Abstract: Pre-configured resource acquisitions are established and maintained in a database. The occurrence or imminent occurrence of an computer network-based event that impacts the pre-configured resource acquisition are monitored or tracked and, based on the determined impact of the computer network-based event, at least one of the occurrence of the computer network-based event is prevented or the user is notified of the impact of the computer-network based event on the pre-configured resource acquisition.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a system that controls content distribution using a feedback loop. Content is distributed over multiple different online channels using a same initial maximum selection value for distribution over each different online channel. An observed distribution amount required for distribution of the content over the multiple different online channels is received through a feedback loop and for multiple different distributions of the content. Based on the observed distribution amount received through the feedback loop, a realized distribution amount is determined for the multiple different distributions across the multiple different online channels. The maximum selection value is adjusted based on a difference between the realized distribution amount and a reference distribution amount specified by a provider of the content.

Abstract: This application discloses a method for visualized network operation and maintenance, including receiving a request for visualized network operation and maintenance, generating a workflow for visualized network operation and maintenance according to the request for visualized network operation and maintenance, and creating a network modeling input, and performing, according to the workflow for visualized network operation and maintenance, the network modeling input, and original information of network modeling, analog simulation on a network determined by the network modeling input.

Abstract: A data backup application checks validity of data being backed up during an incremental or a full backup. In case of the file backup, the full backup checks the validity of data during the backup, because in case of data corruption the user will not have any original data since no data has been backed up yet. In case of the incremental backup, only the new files or the files that have changed compared to the last backup are now backed up. All new and modified files can be checked for validity by comparing internal format of the user files against a corresponding file format standard. If corrupted files are detected among the modified files, the user is notified.

Abstract: Techniques are described for balancing traffic among content delivery networks (CDNs). A CDN balancer can analyze CDN performance data and determine CDN balancing ratios used to distribute traffic among the CDNs.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for associating social data with user profiles. In one or more implementations, a social post is targeted to a population of users on a social network. The social post includes a link to a resource, such as a website. The resource is then monitored for user access via the link. When a user accesses the resource, social data corresponding to the social post is associated with a user profile of the user. The social data can include targeting parameters of the social post, such as an age, sex, or location of users to which the social post is targeted. The social data may also include other parameters related to the content of the social post, such as one or more topics of the social post.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing accelerated data storage and retrieval utilizing lossless data compression and decompression. A data storage accelerator includes one or a plurality of high speed data compression encoders that are configured to compress data. The compressed data is subsequently stored in a target memory or other storage device whose input data storage bandwidth is lower than the original input data stream bandwidth. Similarly, a data retrieval accelerator includes one or a plurality of high speed data decompression decoders that are configured to decompress data at a rate equivalent to or faster than the input data stream from the target memory or storage device. The decompressed data is then output at rate data that is greater than the output rate from the target memory or data storage device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving an excerpt of information from a first user, wherein the excerpt of information includes information from a target web page; storing the excerpt, in an XML format, in a folder on a storage medium; detecting a change in the target web page; in response to the detected change in the target web page, updating the excerpt of information from the target web page; receiving, from the first user, an identification of a second user with whom the first user wishes to share the excerpt of information; and transmitting a communication to the second user inviting the second user to view the excerpt of information in the folder.
