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 proxy communication system translates contact identifiers. The proxy communication system maps one or more client device contact identifiers to one or more proxy contact identifiers from a pool of proxy contact identifiers. The proxy communication system may facilitate communication on behalf of the client device using the proxy contact identifier. The proxy communication system may also communicate with the client device on behalf of the target device using the client device contact identifier. In some implementations, the mapping may be state dependent, such as different mappings based on a target device contact identifier, recent communications between the client device and the target device, and so on.

Abstract: A client updates a display of a user interface associated with a state-based client-server application in accordance with a client-side cache. The server supplies data for a new state and additional data for one or more subsequent states that possibly follow the new state if appropriate one or more operations are performed. When a client request is generated that indicates an operation that causes the application to transition to the new state, the client updates the display in accordance with the data that corresponds to the new state from the client-side cache, if available from the client-side cache. The new state data is available since the server has previously supplied the new state data.

Abstract: A method of predicting the evolution of simulation results for an Internet of Things (IoT) network by creating a source digital twin for the IoT network, driven by real-time sensed data from objects fed to models of the objects interconnected as object nodes in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with the interconnections representing flow of data, the source digital twin outputting a state of one or more of the objects in real time; creating a clone digital twin of the source digital twin; connecting input of the clone digital twin with output of the source digital twin via a data stream synthesizer node, the data stream synthesizer node adds a time increment to the output of the source digital twin to drive the clone digital twin at the incremented time. The source digital twin and the clone digital twin are executed to indicate an evolved state of one or more of the objects at the incremented time as the output of the clone digital twin.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented systems and processes that dynamically and selectively modify portions of a displayed interface to include interface elements that, when selected by a user through a single provided input, initiate a performance of a data exchange in accordance with parameter values consistent with prior initiated data exchanges. For example, a communications device may display, on a display unit, a first interface element representative of a first data exchange and may receive expected values of parameters that characterize the second data exchange. When a determined parameter value is consistent with the expected parameter values, the communications device may modify the first interface element and present, on the display unit, the modified first interface element and a second interface element within the interface.

Abstract: A communication system for a micro-frontend architecture can include a first message handler associated with a requestor of data and a second message handler associated with a requestee. The requestor can be a wrapper application or a micro-frontend, and the requestee can the other of the wrapper application or the micro-frontend. In response to receiving a data request from the requestor, the first message handler can transmit a request message via a communication channel to the second message handler, where the request message includes a unique identifier assigned to the request. Thereafter, the first message handler can receive a response message from the second message handler via the communication channel, where the response message includes the data and the unique identifier. Based on the unique identifier in the response message, the first message handler can provide the data to the requestor in a response to the request.

Abstract: Methods of generating websites using any combination of remotely and locally stored content are contemplated. Content is procured by a user on a client computer, and a request to add that content to a source folder is sent to a server. The server adds the content to the source folder, where it is made available for website creation. When a client requests creation of a website using the contents of a source folder, the server then generates that website. In some embodiments, the website can be generated according to a user-selected theme or a default theme.
