Abstract: The systems and methods described herein use a tag for collecting data associated with a content object of a content page. The tag may be a universal tag which can provide a single point of data collection and thereby reduce the number of network requests due to piggyback tags. The data collected from the content page may be communicated to a stream management system which can process the data and split the data into multiple data streams to be fed to a downstream system. The downstream system can further process the data and communicate to another downstream system. In some embodiments, the stream management system can access the repositories of its downstream system and veto the data flows created by the downstream system.

Abstract: A system may receive a first message transmitted over a network from a first device. A first invitation to join a text-based communication channel may be transmitted to the first device in response to the first message. A second invitation may be transmitted to a second device to join the text-based communication channel with the server configured to retain context of the text-based communication channel. The system may receive a second message transmitted from the second device and may transmit a third invitation to the first device to join the text-based communication channel in response to the second message.

Abstract: Features are disclosed for facilitating remote management of network directories of organizations by a directory management system. The network directories may change over time, experiencing growth in size and number of current connections, increased latency, reduced performance, and the like. The network directories may also shrink over time, experience fewer connections, etc. Organizations can define scaling policies by which the directory management system can automatically respond to the occurrence of various events, such as changes in the size or usage of the organizations' network directories, by scaling resources associated with the directories. The directory management system can perform various scaling actions on-demand or without requiring additional action by the organizations, thereby reducing the time and effort required by the organizations to monitor their own directories and implement (or request implementation of) changes.

Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for handling content delivery in a client node. A method being performed by the client node. The method comprises registering, by an application entity of the client node and with an MBMS entity of the client node, for enabling the client node to receive content delivered by encrypted unicast transmission and to receive the content delivered by broadcast transmission. The method comprises selectively controlling, by a trusted entity of the client node, reception of the content in a media player of the client node between reception of the encrypted unicast transmission and broadcast transmission depending on whether the content is available or not for reception on the broadcast transmission.

Abstract: A client terminal and a server system having a plurality of processing units processing game applications are connected to each other via a network. In a game system as a cloud computing system, the server system makes the client terminal wait for a start of processing of an application when there is no processing unit assignable to the client terminal. When the processing unit becomes assignable, the client terminal displays a screen inquiring whether to start the processing of the application. When a user does not respond for a predetermined time, the server system cancels the waiting state of the user.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes media stream transmission techniques for a computing device. The computing device may capture an image of a local background environment. The computing device may record a first media stream that includes at least a portion of the image of the background environment and at least one movement of at least one object through the background environment. The computing device may remove the image of the background environment from the first media stream to create a second media stream that includes the movement of the object without the image of the background environment. The computing device may determine a bandwidth of a network over which the second media stream will be transmitted and perform further alterations to the second media stream if the current bandwidth is less than a bandwidth threshold level in order to reduce the bandwidth needed to transmit the second media stream.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for resource optimization allocation via an interactive resource interface. In this way, the invention provides a comprehensive integrated platform for identification, continual monitoring and optimal allocation of resources on a mobile device. The invention enables identification of existing resources. In one aspect, the system identifies inflow resource transfers associated with a first resource. The system then determines if the inflow resource transfers are required for processing of critical tasks. Consequently, the system initiates a resource transfer, comprising at least a portion of the inflow resource transfer, from the first resource to a second user resource. Typically, the second resource is configured to promote resource accumulation. In another aspect of the invention, the system identifies a third user resource that is configured to foster resource growth, that is then linked with the second resource.
