Abstract: According to principles of the present inventive concepts, a keyboard plug-in for a MMS application permits a user to search a database of lyrical segments to include within a messaging conversation as a message to a recipient. A search bar permits the user to enter a search query. A display area displays search results received from the database containing lyrical segments with lyrical content related to the user-supplied search query. Upon selection of a desired search result, the lyrical segment is copied and pasted into a messaging box of the user's MMS application and is transmitted to a recipient when the user sends the message. Upon receipt of the message containing the lyrical segment, the recipient plays the lyrical segment on their messaging device by clicking the message.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to negotiate flow control for a communication session between peer devices. An example first peer device disclosed herein is to send a request message to a second peer device via an existing communication session that is subject to a first type of flow control, the request message to initiate a request for a second type of flow control for the existing communication session, the second type of flow control different from the first type of flow control. The disclosed example first peer device is also to change to the second type of flow control for the existing communication session in response to a reply message from the second peer device via the existing communication session, the reply message indicating acceptance of the request for the second type of flow control for the existing communication session.

Abstract: An online system determines a client device associated with a user that is to receive a new notification. The client device presents the notification and receives an input to forward the notification to a different client device and/or a different application. The client device sends a request to the online system to forward the notification. The online system determines a list of available client devices and/or available applications that are able to receive a forwarded version of the notification and provides the list to the client device for selection. Upon receiving a selection, the client device sends the selection to the online system which generates the forward notification that is appropriate for the selected client device and/or selected application. Thus, the online system avoids over-notifying a user, while also enabling the user to consume the content of the notification according to his/her preferences.

Abstract: A DFA engine is described that determines whether a current symbol of a payload matches a label of any effective arcs or negative arcs associated with a current node of a DFA graph that are stored in a cache. Responsive to determining that the current symbol does not match a label of any effective or negative arcs associated with the current node of the DFA graph, the DFA engine determines whether the current symbol matches a label of any arc associated with the current node of the DFA graph that is stored in a memory. Responsive to determining that the current symbol matches a label of a particular arc associated with the current node of the DFA graph that is stored in the memory, the DFA engine stores the particular arc in the cache as a new effective arc and uses the particular arc to evaluate the current symbol.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for dynamic network management, such as by monitoring and analyzing network parameters, such as network traffic and network configurations, to enable visualization of network state and improved situational awareness. Some embodiments are particularly directed to providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that utilizes various network parameters to map, characterize, and/or assign attributes to network traffic and resources. In many embodiments, network traffic may be monitored and/or routed based on their attributes.

Abstract: A last task view is captured for an application executing on a user device, in response to detecting that the user has stopped using the application. The user device may be a mobile device, and the application executing on the user device may be a native application. The last task view may be an image of the contents of a user interface displayed on the user device by the application when the user stopped using the application, and is transmitted from the user device to a server computer for storage in a repository storing views of applications most recently used by the user. A viewer application executing on the server computer may then display the views of applications most recently used by the user to the user on a user device other than the user device on which the last task view was captured.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing secure dynamic address resolution and communication. Accordingly, a node may include processor and memory having instructions thereon, that when executed, cause the node to pair with another node. The pairing may include creating a DNS record on the node including a current address associated with the second node, this current address may be dynamically updated. The instructions may further allow the node to transmit a message to the second node, based on a resolved address from the DNS record on the first node. Authentication, dynamic message encryption and the provision of a DNS cache may further be implemented on the node.

Abstract: A method for enhancing quality of media transmitted via network uses an AI enhancing model built-in the client device to enhance the quality of video streams received from network. The AI enhance module is pre-trained by using a neural network in the server to analyze differences between the decoded images and the raw images that are generated by the server. Wherein, the AI enhance module enhances decoded images by using algorithms which are defined by analyzing differences between the decoded images and the raw images that are generated by the server. Such that, the enhanced images are visually more similar to the raw images than the decoded images do.
