Abstract: Technology is described for receiving time series data to be transmitted to a server. A network connectivity problem may be determined to exist for a computer network with the server which prevents the time series data from being transmitted to the server. A mathematical function that represents the time series data received while the network connectivity problem exists for the server may be calculated and transmitted to the server.

Abstract: A data intake and query system collects performance data from client devices and host devices and stores the performance data in one or more indexes. The system is further configured to facilitate correlation of the performance data collected from the client devices and the separate performance data collected from the host devices. For example, based on a determination that one or more identifiers stored in a portion of performance data received from client devices match one or more identifiers stored in a portion of the performance data received from host devices, a data intake and query may determine that the data portions are related. The portions of performance data, for example, may correspond to events the data intake and query system derives from the performance data collected from both client devices and host devices.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to identifying a user on an external platform as a client of an entity and managing interactions with the user. An input provided by the user on an external platform can be parsed to derive user-specific social media data for the user. The user-specific social media data can be compared with client information maintained in a client database and a harvested social media database to identify the user as a client. A verification message can be sent to the user via a messaging application of the external platform to receive semi-private client data and verify the identity of the user. A response can be generated for the user based on client information. The response to the user can include a link to a secure messaging application to enable secure data communication between the user and the client.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for retrieving and delivering content in a network. In one embodiment, unique data codes representative of content are generated by a network entity. The data codes are distributed to viewers either via a physical medium or on a display of similar content. The user device requests the content from the network by reading the data code. The requested content is delivered directly to the requesting device or provided to another device identified by the requesting device or user. In another alternative, the unique data code may be representative of the user or subscriber himself. This type of data code may be generated by the network or the device, and enables the user to access content he is entitled to via another device or terminal by delivery of information contained in the data code (or the code itself) to the network.

Abstract: A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for asynchronous Network-Based Media Processing (NBMP) request processing. A first function call corresponding to a CreateWorkflow request to an NBMP workflow manager is received. A hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) status code and a delay value retrieved from a database are returned based on receiving the first function call, and the CreateWorkflow request is performed at a later time after the delay has elapsed, whereby a response to the request is performed asynchronously according to the retrieved delay value. A second function call corresponding to an UpdateWorkflow request to the NBMP workflow manager is received after performing the CreateWorkflow request, and results of performing the CreateWorkflow request are returned based on receiving the second function call, wherein a response to the CreateWorkflow request is provided asynchronously according to the retrieved delay value.

Abstract: Distance-based framing includes obtaining at least a video stream during an online conference session. The video stream, an audio stream received with the video stream, or both the video stream and the audio stream are analyzed and a framing that either focuses on a speaker in the video stream or provides an overview of participants in the video stream, the framing being is composed based on the analyzing. A potential error in the framing is detected based on further analysis of at least one of the video stream, the audio stream, or distance sensor data received with the video stream. The potential error may be contradicted or confirmed based on an amount of motion when the framing focuses on the speaker. If the distance sensor data contradicts the potential error, the framing is maintained, but if the distance sensor data confirms the potential error, a new framing is generated.
