The share request for the content is generated while the user device is not connected to the network. Upon determining that a network connection is available, the share request for the content is provided to the social networking service.
Abstract: A client computing architecture is provided that utilized minimal download and simulated page navigation features. A client computer may receive a payload comprising delta data in response to a navigation request for an electronic page. The client computer may further parse the delta data for the electronic page, update page contents for the electronic page based on the received delta data, determine whether one or more errors are associated with a page load process for the electronic page, manage a fragment identifier portion of a uniform resource locator (URL) to track a current location in a navigation of the electronic page, and intercept one or more navigation click events to ensure a minimal download strategy navigation.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein use a tag for collecting data associated with a content object of a content page. The tag may be a universal tag which can provide a single point of data collection and thereby reduce the number of network requests due to piggyback tags. The data collected from the content page may be communicated to a stream management system which can process the data and split the data into multiple data streams to be fed to a downstream system. The downstream system can further process the data and communicate to another downstream system. In some embodiments, the stream management system can access the repositories of its downstream system and veto the data flows created by the downstream system.
Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for a webpage from a mobile-client system of a user, where the request includes an http-header, accessing information describing the user, determining the attributes of the mobile-client system based on the http-header and the information describing the user, and transmitting the webpage to the mobile-client system in response to the request, where the webpage has been customized based on the determined attributes of the mobile-client system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described providing social networking engines. Specifically, the present specification relates to a method for implementing software containers implementing social network engines that may be configured to act in a zero-knowledge environment. In such implementations, all information pertaining to the social network engine associated with a user that is stored in the container is solely that of a user unless explicitly shared by the user. In some implementations, the containers may be configured to participate in a publish-and-subscribe network in order to share information. In addition, the containers may be provisioned with controls so that global operators may comply with local privacy rules.
Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire restriction information about imaging functions from an imaging device connected to a network, a setting control unit configured to display a setting window in which after a parameter for one imaging function is selected, selectable parameters for other imaging functions are restricted in accordance with the selected parameter on the basis of the restriction information so that the imaging functions to be used are selected, and an information processing unit configured to acquire image information about an image captured using the selected imaging functions via the network.
Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a playback means for requesting an information providing apparatus to transmit a content playback of which has been instructed by a user, receiving the content transmitted in response to the request and playing back the content; and a control means for stopping playback of the content by the playback means as well as transmitting an instruction for continuous playback preparation including a continuous playback position which is a playback stop position of the content to another information processing apparatus when the continuous playback preparation is instructed by the user.
