Abstract: A device configuration method, apparatus, and system based on Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF), and belong to the field of communications technologies. The method includes establishing, by a network management device, a model of configuration data using a predefined Yet Another Next Generation (YANG) model, and sending the configuration data to a managed device based on NETCONF. The predefined YANG model includes n reference fields and one or more object fields separately corresponding to each reference field. Hence, resolves problems that when an extension field is added to a NETCONF message to indicate a target lower-level device of configuration data in the NETCONF message in a device cascading scenario, solution universality is relatively poor, configuration processing efficiency is relatively low, and a data storage processing procedure is relatively complex.

Abstract: A system and method of forming proxy server pools is provided. The method comprises several steps, such as requesting a pool to execute the user's request and retrieving an initial group. The system checks the service history of an initial group, including whether any of the proxy servers in an initial group are exclusive to existing pools. The exclusive proxy servers in an initial group with eligible proxy servers are replaced when needed and new proxy server pools are formed. The system also records the service history of proxy servers and pools before and after the pools are created. The method can also involve predicting the pool health in relation with the thresholds foreseen and replacing the proxy servers below the threshold.

Abstract: A server system receives from a first electronic device, an indication that the first electronic device has shared a first listening session playing back on a second electronic device. The server system receives, from a third electronic device, a first request for one or more shared listening sessions playing back on the second electronic device. The request includes an identifier of the second electronic device. In response to the first request, the server system transmits, to the third electronic device, a session identifier for the first listening session. The server system receives, form the third electronic device, a second request to join the first listening session using the session identifier for the first listening session. The server system then provides, to the third electronic device, access to the first listening session playing back on the second electronic device.

Abstract: A method and notification system for notifying broadcast streams to multiple users. A notifier receives, from a broadcaster, a request to notify a broadcast stream to the multiple users. The notifier receives preferences from a subset of users of two or more social networking systems. The preferences identify: (i) some but not all social networking systems of the two or more social networking systems which should send notifications about the broadcast stream to the subset of users; and (ii) times during which the notifications about the broadcast stream should be sent to the subset of users. The notifier instructs an agent representing a broadcaster in each social networking system of only the some social networking systems to send notifications about the broadcast stream to the subset of users at the times identified in the preferences.

If there was a response by the server for this request, then the response is being intercepted and is being injected with a client side language script to be executed by the requesting client side device. Information is collected at the server side from the execution of the injected client side language script by the client device.

Abstract: IoT devices are usually single-purpose devices with a set of instructions and parameters. This disclosure relates to a versatile framework that overcomes technical challenges for repurposing nodes operating in an IoT environment. Specifically, this disclosure describes security and functionality adaptations for versatile nodes (“vnodes”) operating within an IoT environment. Vnodes may include segmented data storage locations that allow multiple set of instructions and parameters to be stored on the vnode. The multiple sets of instructions/parameters may allow a vnode to perform a wide range of activities in different IoT operating environments. For example, a vnode may attach to a car during a trip then attach itself to the garage door, then re-attach to the car in the morning. Data storage may be segmented and allow data sharing between segmented storage locations. Data storage may be segmented and not allow data sharing between storage locations and thereby increases data controls.
