Abstract: A method includes receiving an input signal. The input signal includes a request to transition from a start window to an auxiliary window. The start window is identified. The start application is initially in an active state. The auxiliary window is identified. The auxiliary window is initially in an inactive state. A start window overlay is determined based on the start window. The start window overlay includes a visual copy of the start window. An auxiliary window overlay is determined based on the auxiliary window. The method includes transitioning from the start window to the auxiliary window in an active state based on the start window overlay and the auxiliary window overlay.

Abstract: A system may include a server device. The server device may receive, from a device, a media item in a first format associated with the device, and determine a transcoding priority to be associated with transcoding of the media item based on information regarding a transcoding job request for one or more other media items received from the user and at least one of information associated with the media item or information associated with a user of the device. The server device may also select, based on the transcoding priority and at least one of the information associated with the media item or the information associated with the user, the media item, from among a number of media items, associated with one or more users, to be transcoded, and transcode the media item to a transcoded media item in a second format that is different than the first format.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying a trigger event for capturing state information of a user device; capturing the state information upon an identified occurrence of the trigger event; storing the state information in another device; obtaining the state information by another user device; and configuring the other user device based on the state information.
