Abstract: Media content delivery method and systems are provided for transmitting media content to a mobile client device in a format automatically selected from alternative versions of the media content based on one or more dynamically variable resource parameters. The variable resource parameters can include historical device and/or network performance corresponding to one or more current attributes applicable to a request for media content delivery from the mobile client device, such as a current location of the device and/or a time value for the requested media content delivery. Similar media content can thus be delivered to similar mobile client device in different formats depending on, say, the time and location of respective requests for receiving the media content.

Abstract: A production messaging node in a messaging environment registers a subscription to itself (registers a self-subscription) with a central repository. The self-subscription enables the production messaging node to detect and identify a clone of itself in the messaging environment. The self-subscription ensures that a configuration change applied to the clone triggers a notification that is sent to the production messaging node. The notification enables the production messaging node to determine that the clone is active in the messaging environment. The production messaging node may then respond in various ways depending on the prevailing circumstances. Self-subscribing a messaging node to a central repository enables detection and identification of a cloned messaging node which if left un-marshalled, may disrupt the functioning of the messaging configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for sending a message from an enterprise service bus (ESB) is described. A message is formed at an enterprise service bus (ESB) of a computer system. The message is transmitted from the ESB to different ESBs through a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicast.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for management of contextual notifications on user devices. Entities can be categorized as VIP status based on scoring profiles sent from a management server to the user device. Applications on the user device can implement an SDK that reads the profiles and sets certain actions to boost scores and others to reduce scores. These local VIP scores can be sent periodically from the user device to the management server. The management server can use them in conjunction with global VIP scores for the same entities to create aggregated VIP information. This can be sent back to the user device, allowing the user device to then visualize different notifications or workflows based on whether an entity's aggregated VIP information exceeds one or more thresholds.

Abstract: A method performed by a client for upstreaming to a server a live media feed is provided. The method includes the client establishing a transport layer connection with the server; transmitting to the server a first message having a header and a body; and storing in a transmit buffer media data corresponding to the live media feed as the media data is generated. The header does not indicate the size of the body. A quality setting is used to generate the media data. Transmitting the body includes: 1) transmitting to the server at least a portion of the media data; 2) removing from the transmit buffer said at least a portion of the media data; 3) determining whether the client should modify the quality setting that is used to generate the media data, and 4) repeating steps (1), (2) and (3) until a cease transmission trigger is detected.
