Abstract: A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid).

Abstract: A system and method for distributed exchange and transformation of structured data with reproducibility and complete provenance are described. Data enters the system through the plurality of data publishers that share data in the form of append-only historical logs of events. Plurality of parties can then collaborate on improving and enriching data by defining the transformation rules, forming a potentially distributed computational graph. Data from any stage of such graph can be accessed by plurality of consumers. Stream processing techniques are used to minimize the propagation latency of data through the graph. Bitemporal data modelling and determinism of transformations enable reproducibility and verifiability of the results. Every event that influences how data looks like is tracked in the temporal metadata which enables provenance and dataset evolution.

The invention extracts audio information from the media received by consumer electronic devices such as smart TVs and TV set-top boxes then conveys said information to a remote server means which will in turn identify said audio information of unknown identity by way of testing against a database of known audio segment information. The system identifies unknown media programming in real-time such that time-sensitive services may be offered such as interactive television applications providing contextually related information or television advertisement substitution. Other uses include tracking media consumption among many other services.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying which video segment is being displayed on a screen of a television system. The video segment is identified by deriving data from the television signals, the derived data being indicative of the video segment being displayed on file screen. This feature can be used to extract a viewer's reaction (such as changing the channel) to a specific video segment (such as an advertisement) and reporting the extracted information as metrics. The systems and methods may further provide contextually targeted content to the television system. The contextual targeting is based on not only identification of the video segment being displayed, but also a determination concerning the playing time or offset time of the particular portion of the video segment being currently displayed.

Abstract: A querier sends a SparkSQL query instruction to a connector, the SparkSQL query instruction contains a table identifier of an HBase table, metadata of the HBase table, and an attribute value corresponding to the metadata. When the connector receives the SparkSQL query instruction, if an index table corresponding to the table identifier and the metadata exists in a storage device, the connector generates a first Phoenix query instruction and sends the first Phoenix query instruction to the storage device, the index table is used to record a correspondence between an attribute value of the metadata of the HBase table and a RowKey of the HBase table, and the first Phoenix query instruction contains the table identifier, the metadata, and the attribute value. When receiving the first Phoenix query instruction, the storage device obtains the RowKey and the metadata, obtains the data row, and sends the data row to the connector.
