Abstract: An FSB-enabled SDN system includes an FC storage device coupled to an FSB device by an FCF device. An SDN FSB device couples a server device to the FCF device, and is also coupled to an SDN controller device. The SDN FSB device prevents first FCoE data traffic while allowing FIP data traffic between the server device and the FCF device based on SDN communications from the SDN controller device. The SDN FSB device then forwards FC login communications included in the FIP data traffic to the SDN controller device. If the FSB device then receives a third SDN communication from the SDN controller device that includes an FC source identifier for the server device, it may allow second FCoE data traffic between the server device and the FC storage device if that second FCoE data traffic is associated with the FC source identifier.

The receiver receives first evaluation information from the first user terminal, the first evaluation information indicating a first evaluation for at least one content included in the shared list. The control unit decides a reproduction order of contents included in the shared list, based on the received first evaluation information.

Abstract: For caching of cognitive applications in a communication network a first input signal from a sensor device is detected by a proxy having a cache associated therewith. A representation of the first input signal is computed and sent to a server. A handle function is applied to the representation of the first input signal to compute a first handle value corresponding to the first input signal. The representation of the first input signal is transformed using a cognitive processing model of an answer function to compute a first answer value. A content of the cache is modified by the proxy by storing the first answer value in association with the first handle value in the cache.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to computer systems and methods of re-synchronizing playback of a live media stream with execution of a stream of out-of-band commands, where the commands and media stream are transmitted through different network pathways. The systems and methods, at a multimedia player, retrieve a command manifest file from a publishing server or CDN and parse the location of the media stream from the file. The systems and methods load and buffer the media stream from the parsed location and start playback of the media stream. The systems and methods monitor current playback time of the live media stream. The systems and methods also poll the user-initiated commands appended to the command manifest file. The systems and methods determine whether to execute a user-initiated command of the polled user-initiated commands in a user interface of the multimedia player based on the monitored current playback time.

Abstract: A task assistant identifies a correspondence received by a source associated with a user and determines that the correspondence includes a request. The task assistant further determines a ranking associated with the request based on one or more characteristics of the request and of the correspondence. In response to the ranking of the request exceeding a threshold, the task assistant generates a notification associated with the request and provides the notification to a client device associated with the user.

Abstract: When direct communication between devices, such as via Bluetooth, is unavailable, a communication protocol is used by an initiating communication device and/or a recipient communication device to establish a communication session via a cloud-based relay server. This communication protocol efficiently allocates (or binds) the initiating communication device, the recipient communication device, and the relay server together for the communication session. The communication protocol may include handshaking messages that specify a transport type and channel used for connections in the communication session, as well as an address of the relay server. After the communication session is confirmed, the communication protocol allows the initiating communication device and the recipient communication device to share messages even when physically separated from each other.
