Abstract: One or both of a metadata associated with content to be integrated into a linear broadcast and a content data comprising content to be integrated into the linear broadcast is received via a network. A trigger to integrate content into said linear broadcast is received from a broadcast automation system associated with the linear broadcast. Based at least in part on said metadata a content item is determined to be integrated into the linear broadcast in response to the trigger. The determined content item is integrated into the linear broadcast, including by providing to a mixing node associated with the linear broadcast a broadcast-ready audio output.

Abstract: A method and a device for detecting shared access are provided in the present disclosure.

The at least one processor is configured to the communication unit to log in the service server when permission of the log-in request is received from the service server via the relay device.

Abstract: A technique for facilitating registration of an internet domain name with the domain name system (DNS) is presented. The technique can include receiving a request to register an encoding domain name with the DNS, where the encoding domain name includes an indication of a temporal event and of a pool of domain names. The technique can also include registering the encoding domain name to a registrant, thereby conferring to the registrant a right to register a target domain name of the registrant's selection from the pool of domain names upon specified conditions, where the specified conditions include an occurrence of the temporal event. The technique can also include receiving a request initiated by the registrant to register the target domain name. The technique can also include registering the target domain name to the registrant after satisfaction of the specified conditions.

Abstract: Data relating to at least the dynamic objects of the surrounding area is ascertained by sensors of at least one motor vehicle. The data is stored in a database provided by a motor vehicle, acting as a server for the surrounding area, which communicates with other motor vehicles. When a request message is received, the motor vehicle acting as a server transmits at least one part of environmental data in the database to the requesting motor vehicle and/or transmits a request message for transmitting environmental data, relating to the requested data about at least one object, to other motor vehicles to update the database and/or captures environmental data relating to the at least one object by other sensors. The database is updated to include the transmitted or captured environmental data.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a cross-regional data transmission method and device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer server running a social networking application aggregates raw local area network (LAN) traffic data received from one or more listening nodes in one or more LANs. The aggregated LAN traffic data is comprised of multiple entries, each of which includes a MAC address for a networked device, as well as an association between each MAC address and a user of a social networking system. The computer server may then detect, identify, and qualify recurring patterns when a particular user is on the same LAN as other users of the social networking system. Based upon the qualified patterns, the social networking system may suggest friend connections or other interactions on the social networking system to the particular user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system has host machines forming a cluster. Each host machine runs containers, where each container includes a segment of hardware resources associated with the host machine, a segment of an operating system utilized by the host machine, and at least one application. Host agents operate on the host machines. Each host agent collects operational parameters associated with the containers on each host machine. A management platform is operative to divide the cluster into container pools, where each container pool includes a sub-set of computation resources in the cluster and has associated container pool metrics including a priority level and computation resource limits. Operational parameters are collected from the host agents. The operational parameters are evaluated in accordance with the container pool metrics.

Abstract: A method is implemented by a network device functioning as a controller in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) network to configure a switch in the SDN network to process packets on behalf of a Service Function Chain (SFC) proxy so that the packets can bypass the SFC proxy. The method includes receiving a translation rule for an SFC encapsulation from the SFC proxy, transmitting SFC proxy bypass instructions to the switch that cause the switch to translate packets belonging to a flow associated with the SFC encapsulation according to the translation rule for the SFC encapsulation and to forward the packets belonging to the flow associated with the SFC encapsulation to a service function while bypassing the SFC proxy, and transmitting an indication to the SFC proxy that the packets belonging to the flow associated with the SFC encapsulation are to bypass the SFC proxy.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first multiple spanning tree (MST) region configuration for an MST process may be maintained at a switch in a computer network, where the first configuration has a virtual local area network (VLAN)-to-instance (VI) mapping that maps each of one or more VLANs to one of one or more MST instances in the MST region. The switch may subsequently receive a second MST region configuration that has a different VI mapping than the first configuration, and may determine one or more VLANs of the second configuration that have a different VI mapping from the first configuration (“affected VLANs”). Accordingly, in response to a trigger to apply the second configuration at the switch, the affected VLANs are blocked for a delay, and the second configuration may be applied at the switch without restarting the MST process.

Abstract: A method and a system for processing network media information are provided. The method includes: collecting historical distribution effect data of network media information; performing attribute improvement processing on the historical distribution effect data by using population attribute data and network media information management data to obtain characteristic attribute data; constructing an effect parameter estimation model corresponding to each attribute of the characteristic attribute data, and training the effect parameter estimation model; estimating an effect parameter value of each audience for target network media information according to the effect parameter estimation model; and selecting an audience whose estimated effect parameter value is greater than or equal to a specified threshold value to form an audience population package to be extracted.

Abstract: Tokens and policy descriptors are used for dynamic on demand session management in a distributed and scalable architecture for on demand sessions and resource management. The architecture includes an on demand client, a purchase server, and a session manager. A purchase token is generated at the purchase server and assigned to the on demand client. The purchase token represents at least one requested asset. In response to an on demand session set-up request corresponding to the purchase token from the on demand client to the session manager, the purchase token is expanded to generate at least one dynamic policy management descriptor for the on demand session. This provides token-based purchase authorization and policy management for on demand services.
