Abstract: Systems and methods herein log traffic to and from a device on a network. Logging can occur using a metering device, router, proxy, or other elements. For example, a metering device operatively coupled to a routing device can log the traffic directed to and originating from a user device. Logged traffic can be analyzed to identify users, devices, and/or sessions. For example, an identifier unique to the user device in the session, a device type of the user device, and a specific user of the device during the session can be identified.

Abstract: Provided is a controller for dynamically balancing load between different servers using different thresholds that are continually modified for each of the servers. The controller may generate a baseline load measure based on load measures received from the different servers, and may configure a first threshold for a first server and a second threshold for a second server based on the load measure at the first server deviating from the baseline load measure by a first amount that is greater than a second amount by which the load measure at the second server deviates from the baseline load measure. The controller may allocate an additional server to distribute first content with the first server in response to first content load at the first server satisfying the first threshold and the same load or a greater load of second content at the second server not satisfying the second threshold.

Abstract: A content integration system is configured to rapidly select online content for distribution in response to a user-generated request. The content integration system can analyze available online content items and data describing the user to generate one or more numerical likelihoods estimating how the user will interact with each of the given online content items. The highest scoring content can be selected and transmitted to the user without a noticeable delay.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprising receiving data corresponding to an interaction with a user; based on the received data, predicting a moment in time when a state of the user is likely to change; and causing a change in one or a combination of message function characteristics or data collection function characteristics at the moment in time.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described herein that comprise a multi-screen application which allows users to establish communication sessions with other users of the multi-screen application as well as allowing the user to request multimedia content using the same multi-screen application interface. The user makes a connection request to establish a multimedia session by entering a name or phone number. The multi-screen application uses a request string from the connection request to search a user's contact directory in order to determine possible user connection identifiers associated with the request string. The multi-screen application may additionally or alternatively transmit the request string to a directory server maintained by a service provider. The directory server may provide an endpoint for retrieving multimedia content associated with the string. The multi-media application may be used to allow a user to ‘call’ multimedia content using the same user interface used for calling another user.

Abstract: Techniques for described for invoking a chatbot in a chatbot system, in response to an event notification from a software application. The event notification can be sent to the chatbot system based on the software application determining that one or more conditions associated with an event are satisfied. In certain embodiments, the event notification contains information indicating a dialog flow state for starting a new conversation between a particular chatbot and a user. The event notification can also identify the user and/or the particular chatbot. In some instances, a prompt is output to the user requesting the user to confirm a start of the new conversation. Whether the prompt is output or not can depend on whether there is an existing conversation between the user and a chatbot in the chatbot system.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for a proxy network that can determine, for a set of objects, an initial differential, where the initial differential is determined using a rules data store of a host network. The proxy network can further determine a supplemental differential for the set of objects. The proxy network can further determine a final differential that is the sum of the initial differential and the supplemental differential. The proxy network can further determine a final sum for the set of objects that is the object value less the final differential. The proxy network can further generate an outbound data packet that includes values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum. When the host network receives the outbound data packet, the host network can modify an object data store using the values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards automatically learning user behavioral patterns when interacting with messages and based on the learned patterns, suggesting one or more predicted actions that a user might take in response to receiving subsequent message. One or more classifiers are trained and employed to predict one or more actions that a user might take in response to receiving the message. In one embodiment, the one or more predicted actions are provided suggested to the user as an action the user might take on the message. Messages may be rank ordered within a given suggested action based on a confidence level of the prediction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for promoting user engagement with messaging, such as advertising are presented. Specific marketing communications may be evaluated by measuring user responsiveness, such as the respective times at which advertising and other messages may be sent to a user and at which a user may respond, and using these measurements to determine a relative value of the advertising and other messages based on a time decay analytical approach. This approach may include sending an electronic communication to a user interface at a first time for display, sending an electronic message, such as an e-mail or text message to the user at a second time, sending a physical mailing to the user at a third time, receiving a user response at a fourth time, determining the time that elapsed between the fourth time and each of the first, second and third times, and assigning a relative value to each of these messaging events.

Abstract: Data services are often provided with consistency guarantees of either strong consistency models, comprising uniform wall-clock consistency, or eventual consistency models, where temporary logical inconsistency is guaranteed to be resolved only after full data propagation. However, the performance characteristics of contemporary services often require an intermediate consistency model, where some aspects of the service have specific consistency expectations and other aspects of the service are flexible, such as bounded staleness (e.g., a maximum delay in reaching consistency); session consistency (e.g., individual sessions remain logically consistent, but ordering may vary across sessions); and prefix consistency (e.g., each view during a session is logically consistent, but ordering may vary between session views).

Abstract: A system and method to generate and deploy a customized cloud device application has been described. A platform broker analyzes a deployment information of a software service included in the customized cloud device application. Based on the analysis, the platform broker determines whether the software service is to be deployed at a cloud resource or devices. Based on the determination and a composition pattern, the platform broker sends a software service deployment request to a cloud broker and a device broker. Based on the software service deployment request, an instance of the software service is generated and the generated instance of the software service is deployed to one of the cloud resource or one or more devices. Finally, the generated instance of the customized cloud device application bound to the deployed instance of the software service is deployed to one of the one or more cloud resources and the device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for resolving a network address include a Domain Name System (DNS) server configured to receive a request for a resource from a client device, determine a source IP address of the client device, and determine whether the source IP address is included in a source client list. In response to determining that the source IP address is not included in the source client list, the DNS server may determine whether a default view datastore includes a record for requested resource. If the default view datastore does not include a record for requested resource, the DNS server may determine whether the requested resource is included in the view datastore. If the requested resource is included in the view datastore, the DNS server may generate and send to the client device a response message that includes a SIPNOTDEFINED indication.

Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing components of heterogeneous systems. A request is made to a host computer for a latest version of a client component pertaining to client code identified in a previously received communication. An object representing a latest version of a client component pertaining to client code is retrieved from one or more loadable modules at a host computer. The host computer includes a host component. The host component is host software configured to be executed in the host computer. A host component binary is built with a set of additional components bound to the host component binary. An encoding generated during compilation of the additional components transforms the client component into the object with an array populated with data of the client component. The object is built during link time into the one or loadable modules tightly bound with the host component binary.
