Abstract: A communication terminal includes a memory, an interface, and circuitry. The communication terminal is one of a plurality of communication terminals each of which receives a request for communication start from a source communication terminal. The memory stores identification information of the source terminal in response to the request for communication start. The interface responds to the request for communication start, and receives a request for communication establishment from the source terminal. The request for communication establishment is transmitted from the source terminal when the source terminal selects the communication terminal from the plurality of communication terminals each of which responds to the request for communication start.

Abstract: Techniques for coordinating an action between devices are described. According to one or more implementations, a first device is designated as a reporter of an action type, and a second device is designated as a subscriber to the action type. In at least one implementation, the action type represents an action that can occur at an end user device. The first device and the second device include a platform agnostic code module that enable the devices to exchange communications, such as via an intermediate coordinator. When the first device detects that an instance of the action type occurs, the first device reports the action via the platform agnostic code module, and the second device is notified of the action via the platform agnostic code module.

Abstract: Techniques for providing seamless offline access to web-based interactive activity may include determining a web-based interactive activity to be made available offline, and a set of content files corresponding to the web-based interactive activity. One or more content files from a content host can be synchronized to the communication device. A web browser on the communication device can be executed to launch the web-based interactive activity. When the communication device is determined to be offline, dynamic activity data for the web-based interactive activity stored in the web storage integrated with the web browser of the communication device can be synchronized from a web domain associated with the content host to a local domain of the communication device. The web-based interactive activity can then be accessed while offline using the dynamic activity data in the local domain of the web storage of the web browser of the communication device.

Abstract: A first compute server of a distributed cloud computing network receives a request from a first client device for an object to be handled by an object worker that includes a single instantiation of a piece of code that solely controls reading and writing access to the first object. A determination is made that the object worker is instantiated for the object and is currently running in the first compute server, and the piece of code processes the first request. The first compute server receives a message to be processed by the first object worker from a second compute server. The message includes a second request for the object from a second client device connected to the second compute server. The piece of code processes the message and transmits a reply to the second compute server.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for ingesting streaming signals. Signal ingestion modules sample a frame from a raw streaming signal. A preliminary severity or possible event type is computed from the sampled frame. A deeper inspection request is triggered of the raw streaming signal or of another raw streaming signal. Segments of content from the raw streaming signal or the other raw streaming signal are inspected. An actual severity or actual event type is computed from the inspected content. The actual severity or actual event type can be included in a normalized signal.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide the use of secured ledger techniques, such as blockchain techniques, to secure information provided by a content provider, such as an application server. A device may generate a file containing such information, and a file name of the file may exclude identifying information for the content provider, such as a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) or domain name associated with the content provider. The device may generate a first mapping between the file name and the content provider, and may record the first mapping to a ledger system. The device may maintain a second mapping of an identifier of a portion of the ledger system, in which the first mapping was recorded, to the content provider, and may use this second mapping to retrieve the information from the file upon an authorized request.

The configuration file includes randomized scratch directories for computing nodes within the network of computing systems and a calculated container size for the particular processing job. Each processing job is run on the network of computing systems according to the dynamically-generated configuration file of the particular processing job.

Abstract: Techniques for resegmenting a partition in a distributed stream-processing platform are provided. The techniques include receiving a trigger to move a partition of the distributed stream-processing platform from a first broker on a first set of physical resources to a second broker on a second a set of physical resources. In response to the trigger, the partition is allocated on the second broker, and the first broker is configured to redirect, to the second broker, requests for new messages after a last offset in the partition without replicating older messages before the last offset to the second broker. Idempotent produce metadata for the partition from the first broker is then merged into the second broker. Finally, metadata for processing requests for the partition is updated to include the second broker.
