Abstract: Focus data of a remote user is analyzed to determine a focus shift from a first area to a second area at an event arena. A beacon density is computed at the second area, where the beacon density includes a number of physical beacons corresponding to a number of local users at the second area, a number of virtual beacons corresponding to a number of remote users focused on the second area, or a combination of thereof. When the beacon density at the second area exceeds a threshold density, an instruction to a streaming source is generated. The streaming source is caused to change a streaming content, to form changed streaming content that is related to the second area.

Abstract: An identity mapping service receives, from an administrator of an account via a federated identity generated through an identity broker of a datacenter, a request to add a new user to the account. The identity mapping service validates the federated identity and generates a link that can be used by the user authorized to utilize the new user to access the new user. The identity mapping service uses the electronic address of the user to transmit the link to the user of authorized to utilize the new user to enable the user authorized to utilize the new user to access the new user. The identity mapping service associates the new user with the account and enables the new user to access one or more computing resources associated with the account via a second federated identity generated through the identity broker of the datacenter.

Abstract: Proposed are concepts for managing communication between off-premise and on-premise servers. A flow execution request from an application of an off-premise server or an on-premise server is received and a requested flow is determined based on the received flow execution request. Stored endpoint data associated with the requested flow can then be identified. The flow execution request is then communicated to an on-premise server or off-premise server based on the identified endpoint data.

Abstract: A group-based communication platform may be utilized to execute one or more processing actions via respective external application systems based on messages exchanged among client devices via the group-based communication platform. A particular processing action may be executed for a particular message by generating a container including contextual data and payload data, wherein the payload data comprises the message for which the processing action is to be performed. The container is provided to the external application system via a proxy endpoint, thereby causing the external application system to execute the processing action based on the data included within the container.

Abstract: A communication protocol and system is disclosed for network communications between a data service residing on a client that provides network communications between one or more mobile applications on a mobile computing device and a network based on a process number. The shared data service communicates with a data service plug-in on the server side associated with the process number, in order to handle requests from the mobile applications that access a plug-in associated with the process number through the data service. The communication connection between the mobile application and the data plug may be managed by a set of rules defined for that network communication.

Abstract: A slice management system and a slice management method that can dynamically adjust the amount of resources when the amount of resources is insufficient to create a slice. A storing unit of a NFVO stores slice utilization status information. In a BSS/OSS, an allocation determination unit determines to create a new slice or extend an existing slice, and when resources for creation of a new slice or extension of an existing slice are insufficient, a resource change determination unit determines a slice for reduction based on the slice utilization status information. A resource request unit of the NFVO reduces resources of the determined slice.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein enable client devices to share a network resource in order to produce more evenly distributed perceptual playback quality levels within each subscription tier. Sharing of a network resource is facilitated by providing client devices with one or more QoE distribution indicator values, which enables client device participation in the allocation of the network resource. In some implementations, a client device method includes determining a local QoE level value, and then modifying a representation selection of media content data based on the local QoE and one or more QoE distribution indicator values. The local QoE level value characterizes perceptual playback quality of media content data received by the client device using the shared network resource. The QoE distribution indicator values characterize at least in part the relative QoE values associated with a plurality of client devices sharing the shared network resource with the client device.

Abstract: Techniques are described for sharing data among Internet of Things (IoT) networks. An IoT network may include a platform that collects data generated by IoT devices. The platform may execute an agent that sends a communication to indicate the network presence of the sending platform to broker module(s) that support a data sharing service. The communication may also indicate the type and/or quantity of data generated by the sending platform and available to be shared with other receiving platforms in other IoT networks. The data broker module(s) may generate and send security tokens to the agents executing on the sending platform and receiving platform(s). Using the security tokens, the respective agents may establish a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection over a network over which the data is streamed in real time as it is received and/or processed by the sending platform.
