Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling a data object accessible by more than one node. A server in a communication network stores information relating to the data object stored at a first node. The server then receives a subscription request message from a second node. This subscription request message subscribes to updates relating to the data object stored at the first node. A copy of the data object is accessible by the second node. The server subsequently receives a publication message relating to a change to the data object stored at the first node and which indicates an identity of the data object and an indication of the changes. The server sends a notification message relating to the change to the data object towards the second node, which is usable by the second node to make corresponding changes to the copy of the data object accessible by the second node.

Abstract: A hosted network management solution for communications over a computer network supports data communication across a network in accordance with a network message protocol such that communications are established between a network host and a node device. The and the node device performs a self-configuring operation in which the network host identifies a network owner associated with the hosted network, and maintains a persistent network connection path between the network host and the node device for the exchange of network packet messages. The network host retrieves message data from the network packet messages it receives from the node device and performs network management operations to provide a user management interface to the identified network owner. The hosted network management enables more convenient setup and configuration for the network owner and provides more complete and effective network management tools.

Abstract: Methods are presented for managing shareable content articles in a social network. One of the methods includes receiving a plurality of articles from a publisher for access to selected users in the social network. In one example, the received articles are identified as having premium content. Each of the received articles is assigned a sharing parameter that includes a sharing threshold. The method further includes receiving a request from a first user, who is identified from the selected users of the social network, to share an article identified from the plurality of received articles with a second user in the social network, and providing the second user with access to the article when the sharing threshold is satisfied. The article is presented to the second user with supplemental content.

Abstract: An exemplary method accelerating content delivery via DNS overriding may comprise the steps of generating a routing table for a content delivery network (CDN), the routing table map one or more edge server IP addresses to each of one or more geographic regions, transmitting the routing table to one or more DNS server computers, receiving a request from a registrant of a domain name to subscribe the domain name to the CDN, and designating said domain name as subscribed to the CDN in a DNS zone for the domain name.

Abstract: A video tracking system includes a user interface configured to facilitate tracking of a target between video cameras. The user interface includes user controls configured to assist a user in selecting video cameras as the target moves between fields of view of the video cameras. These user controls are automatically associated with specific cameras based on a camera topology relative to a point of view of a camera whose video data is currently being viewed. The video tracking system further includes systems and methods of synchronizing video data generated using the video cameras and of automatically generating a stitched video sequence based on the user selection of video cameras. The target may be tracked in real-time or in previously recorded video and may be track forward or backwards in time.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing activity information of devices engaged in a messaging session. In operation, the devices provide activity and sharing preference information to a data service. Thereafter, the data service generates notifications for the devices based on the activity, sharing preference, and device information, wherein the notifications include a payload with instructions for messaging clients at the devices to present user interface elements that allow users to access content and applications associated with other users in the messaging session.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a server computer, a data processing system and an access control system. Data related to items that are supposed to be in the possession of an employee is retrieved from distributed data sources.

Abstract: Network tool optimizers for server cloud networks and related methods are disclosed. In part, master filters are defined to segregate and control user traffic, and user filters are defined to forward the user traffic to cloud-based network tools or tool instances. A master user interface and user interfaces for each user are provided so that the master filters and user filters can be defined and managed. A filter rules compiler within the cloud-based network tool optimizer then combines the master filters with the user filters, resolves conflicts in favor of the master filters, and generates filter engine rules that are applied to filter engines within the network tool optimizer for the cloud network. The filter engines then forward packets received at input ports for the network tool optimizer to output ports for the network tool optimizer that are coupled to network tools or tool instances within the cloud network.

Abstract: Methods, terminals, servers, and systems for data processing are provided. After establishing a connection with a first terminal, a second terminal obtains identification information of the first terminal and sends a driving request containing the identification information of the first terminal to a back-end server, such that the back-end server determines for the first terminal a driving data address matched with the identification information of the first terminal according to the identification information. The second terminal receives the driving data address sent from the back-end server, and obtains driving data corresponding to the driving data address. The second terminal sends the driving data to the first terminal for the first terminal to load the driving data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for communicating large amounts of data. A system can first receive a request for data and determines if the data requested is above a threshold size. If the data is above the threshold size, the system can then prepare a message containing header information following a standard file transfer protocol. The system can also prepare metadata indicating a storage location and a size of the data requested. The message and the metadata can then be separately communicated to the requester. Upon receiving the metadata, a data stream can initiate the transfer of the data from the storage location to the requester, where the data stream removes unnecessary or redundant header information during the transfer from the storage location.
