Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to the storage and/or recovery of session state information are described. A communications server, e.g., a web RTC server, supporting a communications session, stores session state information corresponding to the communications session in a client device, e.g., a user device including a web browser, participating in the communications session. Following a failure of the communications server, the client device establishes a new connection with a replacement communications server and communicates the stored session state information to the replacement communications server. In some embodiments, the session state information is communicated between a communications server and a client device in encrypted form via a secure HTTP web socket connection. In various embodiments, both the communications server and the replacement communications server include or have access to a shared encryption key.

Abstract: A mobile device supports loading application-specific interfaces associated with the third-party application into a social networking application. The mobile device sends a third-party application identifier to a remote server, which returns a verification result. If positive, the mobile device activates the third-party application to generate an application-specific interface and loads the interface into the social networking application. After detecting a user request initiated through the interface, the mobile device sends the user request to the remote server, which performs a transaction with a third-party server accordingly and returns a response to the mobile device. In response, the mobile device deactivates the third-party application and replaces the application-specific interface with a display of an instant message corresponding to the response in the social networking application.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for efficiently monitoring the operating context of a computing device. In some implementations, the context daemon and/or the context client can be terminated to conserve system resources. For example, if the context daemon and/or the context client are idle, they can be shutdown to conserve battery power or free other system resources (e.g., memory). When an event occurs (e.g., a change in current context) that requires the context daemon and/or the context client to be running, the context daemon and/or the context client can be restarted to handle the event. Thus, system resources can be conserved while still providing relevant context information collection and callback notification features.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling an overwhelming amount of messages in an activity stream. Messages in an activity stream, such as an activity stream of a social networking system, of a user are monitored. Those monitored messages that contain an actionable item or event are identified. The messages that contain an actionable item or event are prioritized in a list based on one or more of the following factors: the deadline, the relationship of the sender of the message to the user, the user's desired social relationship with the sender of the message and the event schedule. The prioritized list is then displayed to the user. In this manner, the user will be able to handle the overwhelming amount of messages in an activity stream by determining which posts with an actionable item or event to respond prior to other posts in the user's activity stream.

The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer, and a viewer profile automatically determined from the identity of the viewer. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers.

Abstract: Content items found in a designated folder within an e-mail system are obtained by a separate computing system. The content items are converted into entities within the separate computing system, and associated with one or more other entities within the separate computing system, based on a set of mapping rules. The content items can then be surfaced, in context, in the separate computing system.

Abstract: A proxy server receives from a client device a request for a network resource that is hosted at an origin server for a domain. The request is received at the proxy server as a result of a DNS request for the domain resolving to the proxy server. The origin server is one of multiple origin servers that belong to different domains that resolve to the proxy server and are owned by different entities. The proxy server retrieves the requested network resource. The proxy server determines that the requested resource is an HTML page, automatically modifies the HTML page, and transmits the modified HTML page to the client device.
