Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for triggering a session initiation protocol (SIP) re-invite message are disclosed. One example method for triggering a SIP re-invite message occurs at a SIP node. The method comprises: determining that the SIP node is not needed as an intermediary node for facilitating SIP communications between a first SIP user agent and a second SIP user agent; generating a SIP message comprising information in a SIP extension header field for triggering an endpoint to generate a SIP re-invite message; and sending the SIP message toward the first SIP user agent.

Abstract: A centralized document system integrates online document execution and conferencing to control access to precipitant information. Precipitant information includes access codes, personal identification numbers, sensitive information, or any other secured information for which execution of an online document is a prerequisite for access to the secured information. The centralized document system detects precipitant information that is presented during a conference and controls access to the detected precipitant information (e.g., by generating permission rules that specify a type of online document to be executed to gain access). The centralized document system may determine whether a user has executed one or more online documents and thus, has authorization to access the detected precipitant information. If the user has not executed the online documents, the centralized document system can control access to the precipitant information by modifying the conference (e.g., using censors or breakout rooms).

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an autonomous mechanism for implementing a flexible image repository that includes an image retrieval service and an image repository management application. The flexible image repository performs delta processing to provide a subset of stored images to a subscriber device when the image retrieval service receives an image update request. The subscriber device thus receives updates to the image repository in a manner that reduces bandwidth requirements at both the server and the client, allowing client-side images to be updated more frequently. A content manager may update the flexible image repository via the image repository management application, which tags images according to a naming convention prior to inserting the images in the image repository.

Abstract: A computing system may detect that a service, which receives a plurality of task requests associated with clients or profiles, is under duress based on performance information associated with the service. The computing system, responsive to detecting that the service is under duress, may successively, until the service is detected to not be under duress, select a profile based on a respective volume of requests associated with the profile, apply a task request limit to the profile, and detect whether the service is still under duress.

Abstract: A system to perform latency compensation techniques to facilitate synchronous sharing of video content during a communication session. The system enables video content that is being shared during the communication session to be played synchronously across numerous different client devices that are being used to participate in the communication session, notwithstanding variations in networking latency associated with the different client devices. The disclosed technologies provide improvements over existing screen sharing techniques which include continuously uploading streams of shared media content from a sharer's device and distributing these uploaded streams to other devices. For example, the techniques described herein enable a system to facilitate sharing of video content during a communication session without initially rendering video content at and simultaneously uploading the rendered video content from a sharer's device.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing name-based routing through networks. In various embodiments, a broker manager in each of a plurality of networks may receive a subscription request for a network device from a client device, each device being locally accessible or disposed in an upstream or downstream network. The broker manager uses its client broker to communicate with a locally accessible client device, and uses its mediator broker (and, sometimes, an intermediate device(s)) to communicate with a locally accessible network device. The broker manager otherwise uses its messaging brokers to communicate with control channels of one or more networks. Once subscription with the network device has been established, any commands and responses between the client device and the network device may be routed over pub/sub channels via the broker managers and their brokers using name-based routing, without routing based on IP address of the network device.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure may relate generally to platforms for providing software services. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: A device may store first data structures that include first data identifying computing resources provided at an edge of a network for a computing environment. The device may store second data structures that include second data identifying aggregations of portions of the first data, and may store a third data structure that includes third data identifying an aggregation of the second data. The device may receive, from a first client device, client data identifying an address and resources associated with the first client device, and may update a first data structure based on the client data. The device may update a second data structure based on updating the first data structure, and may update the third data structure based on updating the second data structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods may provide connectivity to client electronic devices in a wireless communication network aboard aircraft or in another environment. During initial client device association with the wireless network, captive browser use at the client device may be minimized by directing the device to a fully-capable browser. Upon association, subsequent captivity probes transmitted by the client device may be detected and handled so as to prevent undesired re-launching of the captive browser at the client device.

Abstract: In an approach for augmenting contextual timeline markers on a virtual video conversation, a processor records a virtual meeting on a virtual meeting platform with one or more participants. Responsive to the virtual meeting chair ending the virtual meeting with one or more incomplete tasks, a processor creates an augmented recording of the virtual meeting, wherein the augmented recording includes a timeline composed of a plurality of timeline markers, wherein a timeline marker is associated with a conversation that occurs at a particular contextual conversation point during the virtual meeting. A processor enables one or more post-meeting collaboration enabled conversations between the virtual meeting chair and one or more nonparticipants, wherein the one or more incomplete tasks are completed. A processor requests feedback on a timeline marker response associated with the one or more incomplete tasks from a timeline marker creator. A processor applies the feedback received.
