Abstract: A system using edge computing is enabled to efficiently acquire data of an acquisition target without fail. A data search server KSV includes an industry information table 221 which stores an edge ID of an edge server operated and managed by a company/body, the edge ID being correlated with an industry ID which identifies an industry, and an ID of the company/body belonging to the industry. When a data acquisition request designating the industry ID is received from a user terminal, edge servers correlated with the designated industry ID are searched from the industry information table 221, and sensing data is acquired from the searched edge servers and transmitted to the user terminal of the source of the request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for Content-Centric Networking (CCN) are described. In some cases, a node may receive a CCN packet from an upstream node and communicate the CCN packet to one or more downstream nodes (e.g., that previously requested the CCN packet). In a first case, the node may establish a persistent internet protocol (IP) tunnel with the downstream node and communicate the CCN packet to the downstream node by the persistent IP tunnel. Here, a cable modem between the node and the downstream node may not decode the CCN packet. In a second case, the node may append an identifier to the CCN packet prior to communicating the CCN packet to the one or more downstream nodes. Here, the identifier may indicate to the downstream nodes which CCN packets are relevant to the downstream node.

Abstract: Data requests can be serviced by multiple paths of smart network interface cards (NICs). For example, a system can receive a request for data at a first path of a smart NIC. The first path can be a hardware-implemented path. The system can send one or more parameters of the request to a second path of the smart NIC. The second path can be a slower path than the first path and configured to execute a routing algorithm for the request. The system can receive routing information for the request from the second path based on the routing algorithm and transmit the request to a storage node based on the routing information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying media files on a device are provided. The device provides a first mode that displays a subset of media files, determined by a user query, from a plurality of media files. Once activated, the first mode persists on the device prior to becoming inactive. A second mode of the device displays the plurality of media files. The second mode is active when the first mode is inactive. An instruction is received from a user. When the instruction specifies the first mode by inclusion of a user query, a corresponding subset of files is obtained from a remote system. The subset of files is sequentially displayed until the period of time has elapsed according to the first mode. When the instruction does not specify a query, the plurality of files is polled for from a remote device and sequentially displayed according to the second mode.
