Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product reduce bandwidth requirements of a virtual collaboration session. The method includes capturing session data from a virtual collaboration session. The session data is selected from a group consisting of video data, audio data, an image of a screen of a connected device and text data. The method also includes connecting to a live blog platform. The method further includes transmitting a text transcription of the virtual collaboration session to the live blog platform. The text transcription is generated by scanning the audio data using a speech-to-text algorithm. In addition, the method includes classifying a topic in the virtual collaboration session based on importance. Lastly, the method includes transmitting a multimedia file related to the topic to the live blog platform in response to the topic being classified as important. The multimedia file is extracted from the session data.

The at least one geofence and specific entitlement are stored to the database. The multiplicity of network devices is configured to learn the space-network model and the at least one geofence and perform tasks based on the entitlements specified for the location-based services within the at least one geofence.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for selectively implementing a silent retry procedure after a voice session has moved from a preferred IP-based system (e.g., 5GS) to a legacy IP-based system (e.g., EPS) are disclosed. The silent retry procedure may be implemented by a UE and/or by a TAS using one or more specific error codes and/or timeouts. In this manner, after a voice session has been redirected or handed over from a preferred system (e.g., 5GS) to a legacy system (e.g., EPS), and based on an issue arising that prevents the voice session from being successfully established thereafter, the UE or the TAS may reattempt to establish the voice session directly in the legacy system, instead of allowing the UE to transition back to the preferred system (e.g., 5GS) after a session failure in the legacy system, which increases the overall success rate of establishing voice sessions.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to configure heterogenous components in an accelerator. An example apparatus includes a graph compiler to identify a workload node in a workload and generate a selector for the workload node, and the selector to identify an input condition and an output condition of a compute building block, wherein the graph compiler is to, in response to obtaining the identified input condition and output condition from the selector, map the workload node to the compute building block.

Abstract: The described technology is directed towards repurposing expired cached data when no unexpired data is available. Cached, unexpired data is used in response to a request when such data exists. If such data does not exist, e.g., at a front-end data service, then an attempt to obtain the requested data from another (e.g., back-end data service) is made. If the attempt is unsuccessful, and expired cached data exists, the expired cached data is returned in response to the request, e.g., instead of returning an error. A back-end data service may similarly return expired cached data when the back-end data service is unable to obtain unexpired requested data elsewhere. An emergency mode may be entered in which data, whether expired or not, is returned from a cache when such data exists, such as when an attempt to obtain the data elsewhere is known in advance to be futile.

Abstract: A method and system for exported flow tracking information is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a network device, a network traffic flow comprising a data packet, and transmitting, by the network device, a message comprising a network device identifier (NDID), a template set, and an options template set using a traffic analysis protocol. The message is received by a flow collector, and a template record comprising a flow template identifier (FTID) and at least one flow key is extracted from the template set. An options template record comprising a metadata template identifier (MTID) and at least one metadata key is extracted from the options template set. The method includes generating a new repository entry using the NDID, the FTID, the at least one flow key, the MTID, and the at least one metadata key, and storing, by the flow collector, the new repository entry in the Flow Tracking Repository (FTR).

Abstract: Access techniques and systems for virtually rendered digital content are described. In one example, a collection of items of digital content is received that involves an operation of a computing device. As part of rendering the collection, the computing device generates an object model having nodes corresponding to the items in the viewable subset. The computing device then adds an additional node to the object model as a compact representation (e.g., as text) of other items of digital content that are not rendered. As a result, the compact representation supports operations involving digital content that is not currently rendered in the user interface.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques optimize the use of computing resources and user engagement by dynamically displaying a group of users of a communication session within a designated display area where each user of the group each share a common activity factor. For example, participants can be part of a group displayed in a certain section of a user interface or on a particular display screen if they each share a location, a role, a set of permissions, a team, a contribution level, etc. A system can also allow users of a group to exclusively control content that is displayed within a designated display area associated with the group. By dynamically displaying a group of users and content they control within designated display area by the use of a common activity factor, a system can improve user engagement by enabling users to readily identify people of interest.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for delivering content to a user so as to optimize and enhance the “experience” of the content. In one embodiment, an optimization and monitoring entity (OME) is used which determines, evaluates, and provides notification and/or recommendation of alternative content delivery platforms which are available to a user. The OME receives requests for content forwarded from a content server containing information identifying requesting devices and/or subscriber accounts. The OME examines the capabilities of the registered devices, and identifies/recommends alternative devices based on e.g., video/audio quality, picture size, bandwidth availability, and/or any other additional capabilities of the client devices. A notification is then sent to the client devices indicating which of the user's devices may receive the content alternatively, or in addition to, the requesting device. The notifications may be interactive, allowing the user to select one or more of the devices for delivery.

Abstract: Techniques relating to caching a content object are disclosed. A first server receives a revalidation request, relating to a content object, from a requestor. It is determined that metadata, relating to the content object, is stored in a cache associated with the first server. In response, the first server determines not to retrieve the content object from a second server. The content object is not stored in the cache. A response to the revalidation request, indicating that the content object is not modified, is transmitted from the first server to the requestor, based on analyzing the metadata.
