Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for providing reduced availability modes in messaging. The program and method provide for maintaining a count of consecutive time periods in which message content has been exchanged between a first user and a second user in a messaging application; receiving, from a device associated with the first user, a request to set an availability mode for the first user to a reduced availability mode with respect to the messaging application; setting, in response to receiving the request, the availability mode for the first user to the reduced availability mode; and refraining from updating the count while the availability mode is set to the reduced availability mode.

Abstract: A client computing device (115) determines a desired adjustment to a transmission rate of a media stream (245) received from the content server device (110), and encodes the desired adjustment to the transmission rate in an object ordering priority (255) field of a request (250) for a media portion (215). The client computing device (115) sends the request (250) to the content server device (110) to adjust the transmission rate of the media stream (245) with respect to the media portion (215). The content server device (110) receives the request (25) for the media portion (215) from the client computing device (115), and adjusts the transmission rate of the media stream (245) based on the object ordering priority (255). The content server device (110) transmits the media portion (215) to the client computing device (115) via the media stream (245) at the adjusted transmission rate.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes sensing circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry processes received sensor-session requests and received sensor-service requests. Processing a received sensor-service request includes determining a type of the received sensor-service request. In response to determining the received sensor-service request is of a first type, results information is generated in response to the received sensor-service request of the first type based on sensor data generated by the sensing circuitry. In response to determining the received sensor-service request is of a second type, remote-server processing based on the received sensor-service request of the second type is initiated, and a response to the received sensor-service request of the second type is generated based on a received response to the initiated remote-server processing.

Abstract: A first packet of a packet flow is received at a classifying network device. The first packet is forwarded from the classifying network device to a firewall network device. An indication that the packet flow is to be offloaded is received at the classifying network device. Data is stored at the classifying network device indicating that the packet flow is to be offloaded. A non-control packet of the packet flow is received at the classifying network device. A determination is made that the non-control packet belongs to the packet flow by comparing data contained in the non-control packet to the stored data. The non-control packet of the packet flow is directed to a processing entity in response to the determining. A control packet of the packet flow is received at the classifying network device. The control packet of the packet flow is directed to the firewall network device.
