Abstract: The systems and methods discussed herein provide for classifying CDN connections to the originating application on the first packet. In some implementations, the system identifies application connections established within a predetermined time period prior to the CDN connection and increments a value associated with these connections. The system classifies the CDN connection as corresponding to the application connection with the highest associated value, allowing routing of network traffic to take advantage of QoS benefits and reduce the need for deep packet inspection.

Abstract: A time server of a coordinated timing network (CTN) receives a command, including a primary-reference-time (PRT) source identifier identifying a time source in use for the server time protocol (STP) facility as a precision-time-protocol (PTP) time server. The time server obtains the primary-reference-time source identifier from the command, and distributes the primary-reference-time source identifier obtained from the command to one or more other servers of the coordinated timing network to facilitate processing within the coordinated timing network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for automated provisioning are disclosed herein. The system can include a memory including a user profile database having n-dimension attributes of a user. The system can include a user device and a source device. The system can include a server that can: generate and store a user profile in the user profile database and generate and store a characterization vector from the user profile. The server can identify a service for provisioning, receive updates to at least some of the attributes of the first user, and trigger regeneration of the characterization vector from the received inputs.

Abstract: A sender device implements an auxiliary transport protocol by: storing routing records containing respective content type indicators, message source identifiers and message destination identifiers. A first record contains an initial content type indicator and a destination identifier corresponding to a sender device relay. A second record contains an extended content type indicator and a destination identifier corresponding to a sender device bridge. The sender device generates and routes an initial message having a payload and the initial content type indicator to the relay via a primary transport protocol according to the first record; at the relay, generates an extended message having the payload and the extended content type indicator, and routes the message to the bridge via the primary protocol according to the second record; at the bridge, generates a converted extended message; and transmits the converted extended message to a receiver device via the auxiliary protocol.

Abstract: Machine data reflecting operation of a monitored system is ingested and made available for search by a data intake and query system (DIQS). A monitoring function may search the data ingested by the DIQS to determine instances of notable events in regards to the monitored system and may further determine a defined invokable action message (IAM) associated with a notable event instance. Processing ensues to send an IAM to a communications device used by support personnel. The IAM includes information about an action invocation message (AIM) suitable to cause the performance of an action that possibly remedies or improves an operational condition represented by the notable event. Support personnel engages a user interface representation corresponding to the AIM and the AIM is sent to a remedial node where performance of the action is invoked.

Abstract: A content provider system manages the caching of content that includes dynamically-rendered portions. The system can monitor performance metrics (e.g., latency, cache hit ratio, server load, etc.) regarding content and individual portions thereof. Based on the metrics, the system can automatically adjust a content rendering configuration that specifies which portions of the content are to be cached, which portions are to be dynamically rendered by a client device, and the like. In some embodiments, the system can automatically implement tests for various content rendering configurations, analyze the outcomes, and adjust content rendering configurations to improvement performance.

Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes detecting a first image included within a first message received at a second device over a communication network from a first device of a first user, and programmatically analyzing the first image to extract a first image content. The method includes retrieving a first semantic concept associated with the first image content, programmatically generating a suggested response to the first message based on the first semantic concept, and transmitting instructions causing rendering of the suggested response in the messaging application as a suggestion to a second user of the second device.

Abstract: A compute server receives a request from a client device that triggers execution of a code piece. The compute server is one of multiple compute servers that are part of a distributed cloud computing network. The request is directed to a zone. A single process at the compute server executes the code piece in an isolated execution environment. The single process is also executing other code pieces in other isolated execution environments respectively. A response is generated to the request based at least in part on the executed code piece, and the generated response is transmitted to the client device.

Abstract: A telepresence system which includes at least one display device and a beacon coupled to the display device. The beacon emits a signal so as to be discoverable by electronic devices nearby such as in a meeting location. The system also includes a receiver-controller coupled to the beacon, the receiver-controller configured to enable such electronic devices to be recognized and to join a collaborative session in which content from one electronic device can be shared with other electronic devices. The receiver-controller can and will share some or all of its functions with one or more of the joined devices simultaneously, if security and identity protocols are satisfied.

Abstract: Computing systems and processes of creating provisional account profiles of users are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a computing system is configured to detect at least one ingoing or outgoing communication to or from a first globally unique identifier of a first user that has not already linked to an account of said service. In response to said detection, the computing system is configured to create a provisional user profile for the first user linked to the first globally unique identifier and gather public information associated with the first user from one or more third-party sources outside said service. When the first user joins said service, the computing system can be configured to allocate the provisional user profile to an account belonging to the first user linked to the first globally unique identifier.
