Abstract: A wireless communication clock synchronized with a peer electronic device in the network is established at the first electronic device. Interruption signals are generated by the first electronic device synchronously with the peer accordingly. A clock value of a processor of the first electronic device at generating a last interruption signal is recorded by the first electronic device. A synchronization request including the clock value recorded is sent to the peer, to trigger adjusting, by the peer according to a difference between the clock value recorded by the first electronic device and a clock value recorded by the peer, a clock of a processor of the peer electronic device to be synchronized with a clock of the processor of the first electronic device. The clock value recorded by the peer electronic device is the clock value of the processor of the peer electronic device at generating a last interruption signal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for identifying duplicate third party interactions based on information extracted from multiple resources associated with an enrolled user. Furthermore, the system may automatically modify a duplicate third party interaction upon identification, wherein the system may cancel the duplicate third party interaction by interrupting payments to the third party provider associated with the duplicate interaction. This allows for duplicate interactions to be canceled on behalf of the user without the system knowing user login information associated with the third party interaction. Additionally, the system may provide options for modifying duplicate interactions to the user by way of actionable notifications on the user's computing device via a client application. The system may also provide the user with reasons for why similarly-situated users modified third party interactions to aid the user's decision making process.

Abstract: Techniques are described for virtual desktop sharing and collaboration by utilizing image scanning and a web server. Upon launch, the virtual desktop client sets up a web server on the client computing device. During a virtual desktop session, the owner of the session provides input indicating that the session should be shared. A QR code is displayed on the client device which is encoded with information identifying the web server. When the QR code is scanned by a collaborator's mobile device, a web browser is launched on the mobile device and the web browser connects to the web server on the client computing device. The connection is used to transmit the request to access the virtual desktop session by the mobile device. If the session owner approves the request, the virtual desktop GUI data is streamed by the virtual desktop client to the mobile device over the HTTP connection.

Abstract: A method for increasing a speed of access to resources in an enterprise system. A gateway receives a request from the client to find a resource executed by a computer within the enterprise system. The gateway determines whether the client is authorized to find the resource. Responsive to authorization, the gateway instructs the proxy server to access an application programming interface (API) that controls communication between the resource and the proxy server, and instructs the API to query the resource to determine whether code used by the client to work with the resource should be transmitted to the client. The code is transmitted to the proxy server and from the proxy server to the gateway and from the gateway to the client via the network, wherein the speed of access to the resource is increased by avoiding communication with other resources in the enterprise system.

For example, in an embodiment, a social networking system receives a user post from a first user, publishes the user post on behalf of the first user, receives and tracks interactions by other users with the user post, analyzes the received and tracked interactions to determine suggestion regarding the post, and provides the suggestion regarding the user post to the first user in a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Described herein are features pertaining to displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) that depicts mappings between entities of a source database and entities of a destination database. A database migrator is able to interact with the GUI to approve preliminary mappings as well as to modify preliminary mappings. Once the database migrator approves the mappings, scripts can be generated, wherein the scripts are usable to migrate data from the source database to the destination database.

Abstract: Identifying messages transferred to and from a mobile user device may provide a way to monitor message transfers. One example method of operation includes receiving a message from a user device at a network server, processing the message to identify message content, identifying a current event being hosted by the network server, and determining a message priority to assign to the message based on the message content and the current event.

Abstract: There is provided a system including an Internet Protocol (IP) switch, a client, a content source, a content monitor, a system manager having a hardware processor and a memory storing a content management software code, wherein the client is communicatively coupled to the IP switch via a network path. The system receives, using the IP switch, a source content stream from the content source, transmits the source content stream to the client via the network path, replicates, at the client, the source content stream to generate a client content stream, sends, from the client, the client content stream via the network path to the content monitor, and compares, using the content monitor, the client content stream with the source content stream.

Abstract: Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for supporting dynamic resources. One exemplary method involves a resource server identifying a reference to an external source within a resource obtained from a resource database, retrieving data residing at the external source from a network using the reference, and generating a graphical representation of the resource at a client device communicatively coupled to the network. The graphical representation of the resource includes a graphical representation of the retrieved data at a location within the graphical representation of the resource corresponding to a location of the reference within the resource.
