Abstract: Background threads are used to execute various background tasks for mobile applications that are inactive on mobile client devices. A background service monitors telemetry data of the mobile client device and interacts with an application service that provides various services for triggering and responding to the background tasks of the mobile applications. The background tasks are scheduled for execution during timeframes that have historically shown to be times that the mobile application is not actively engaged by a user. The telemetry data collected by the mobile client device may be transmitted and used by the application server to identify the presence of mobile applications on mobile computing devices, locate bugs in the mobile applications, modify shared files, move files of lesser-used mobile applications in and out of cache memory, package application download packages specific to the users of the mobile client devices, and provide application upgrades.

Abstract: Techniques to provide an improved representation of remote network access for a network administrator managing and controlling access to resources on an enterprise network. The representation indicates resources accessed by a remote computer or by a user of that computer and provides associated information useful for managing remote network access. To create the representation, multiple security associations formed between a remote client computer and resources on the enterprise network are associated with entity sessions, based on identical session identifiers generated for each security association within an entity session. The entity sessions may be aggregated into a DirectAccess “connection” between the remote client computer and the enterprise network, based on an identity of the remote client computer. Resources accessed over the connection may be identified using a session identifier of each entity session so that security associations in that entity session may be matched with the resources.

Abstract: Disclosed is a real estate information delivery system for assisting a user in choosing a neighborhood so as to purchase, rent, or lease a real estate property therewithin. The system comprises a database comprising a plurality of neighborhood entries representing neighborhoods. Each neighborhood entry is associated with a plurality of neighborhood factor scores wherein, a factor score represents a score of a predetermined neighborhood factor that potentially influences the decision pertaining to the purchasing, renting, or leasing of a real estate property within the neighborhood. The system is configured to enable a user, via a user interface, to choose a plurality of predetermined factors that form the criteria of the user in selecting a neighborhood. Each chosen factor is assigned a percentage weightage value. A calculation module calculates, for each neighborhood, the weighted average of the factor scores pertaining to the user-chosen factors.
