Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for dividing and merging online content sharing environments such as, for example, online chat rooms. An online content sharing environment may have a group of user profiles associated therewith, some subgroup of which may be exchanging message content within the online content sharing environment at any given time. If an amount of message data traffic being exchanged and/or a number of user profiles exchanging messages exceeds a corresponding threshold value, the online content sharing environment may be divided into two or more sub-environments. Respective sub-groups of user profiles may then be identified based on association criteria and associated with the various sub-environments.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating personalized and contextually relevant cards and delivering the cards to card clients for presentation to a user.

Abstract: A customer support application provides screen sharing of the user's computing device with a remote customer support agent, thereby enabling the customer support agent to view the content displayed on the user's device. At least a portion of the content displayed on the user's device may contain sensitive information. Coordinates corresponding to the content displayed on the user's device may be obtained and the portion of the display corresponding to the coordinates may be obscured from the remote customer support agent.

Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating communications between shared electronic devices are described herein. In some embodiments, a group account may be assigned to a shared electronic device. The group account may include one or more user accounts, where individuals associated with those user accounts may interact with the shared electronic device, and also may form a part of the group account. When a message is sent from one shared electronic device to another personal device or shared electronic device, the message may be indicated as being sent from the group account, as if the shared electronic device corresponds to its own separate account. In some embodiments, speaker identification processing may be employed to determine a speaker of the message and, if the speaker is able to be identified, the message may be sent from the corresponding speaker's user account instead of the shared electronic device's corresponding group account.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for automatically selecting a content provider for delivery of content for consumption by a user. Various selection data such as cost, subscription plan, and so forth are gathered and a weighting profile is applied to generate a total weight by content provider. The total weight by content provider may be used to select one content provider from another for delivery of a particular piece of content.

Abstract: An application may be installed on a user device. Installing the application may include receiving and storing an executable application, a plugin, and an application manifest. The application manifest may include a path corresponding to the plugin and one or more rules associated with the plugin. A webpage may be requested from the web server. The webpage may be parsed to determine that the webpage includes an instruction to use the plugin. It may be determined that the application includes the plugin. The path corresponding to the plugin may be obtained from the application manifest. The webpage may be presented using the plugin.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for automatically selecting a content provider for delivery of content for consumption by a user. Various selection data such as cost, historical delivery bitrate, and so forth are gathered and a weighting profile is applied to generate a total weight by content provider. The total weight by content provider may be used to select one content provider from another for delivery of a particular piece of content.

Abstract: In an asynchronous transaction processing method, system and computer program product, a transaction is initiated by a client object when the client object initiates a transaction context and registers with the transaction context as a participant in the transaction. The client object also publishes an event, the event including a reference to the transaction context, a reference to the client object and information. At least one server object responsive to, or subscribing to, the event registers with the transaction context identified in the event, performs a logical operation using the information provided in the event, places a vote to commit or roll back the transaction with the transaction context and calls back the client object with a response to the event using the reference to the client object included in the event.
