The information processing apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to transmit reservation information of a resource to the information processing terminal, store a communication setting of the information processing terminal associated with the resource, generate a first web page that displays the communication setting of the information processing terminal and that is displayed by a registration terminal, and receive a change in the communication setting of the information processing terminal. The change in the communication setting is made on the first web page displayed by the registration terminal. The second processor switches whether to transmit the reservation information in accordance with the communication setting of the information processing terminal, in response to a request from the information processing terminal.

Abstract: An internet service provider (ISP) is configured to analyze a subscriber's sent e-mail packets to determine a subscriber identity associated with the e-mail packets. A database is then queried to determine a current sending rate of e-mails by the subscriber. A sending rate above an allowed threshold causes the upstream transmission of the e-mail packets to be blocked by injecting connection destroying packets. A subscriber remains blocked from upstream transmission of e-mails until the sending rate as determined by the ISP drops below a second, more stringent threshold. This automatic process is also accompanied by automated messaging to the subscriber with information as to the measures taken and remedial options.

Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a system that receives a profile values associated from new user profiles of a computer network or system. A machine learning system determines a set of existing profiles that share at least one common profile value with the new user profile. A second machine learning model determines a set of existing user entitlements associated with the set of existing profiles. The new user profile is processed by a natural language processing engine to determine a set of new user entitlements from the set of existing user entitlements. The system provides the new user with access to electronic resources of the computer network. The system tracks the new user computer network or system activities and updates the new user profile based on the set of new user entitlements and the new user activity on the computer network or system.

Abstract: A wireless device can achieve higher predictability for its transmissions by inserting a placeholder frame in a transmission queue before time sensitive data has been received. In addition, a contention countdown associated with the placeholder frame can start before the time sensitive data is ready for transmission. Once the data is available, the device can insert the data into the payload of the placeholder frame, thereby reducing the wait time before the data can be transmitted wirelessly. Additionally, the device can improve reliability by transmitting data using multiple subcarrier RUs in a channel. The data blocks and the duplicative data can be transmitted in parallel using the subcarrier RUs. If a subset of the subcarrier RUs are blocked because of narrowband interference, the receiving device can nonetheless recover the data blocks and reconstruct the packet from the data transported on the RUs that did not have interference.

Abstract: A distributed storage system including a server is configured to accept a request including a consistency indicator that flags for the server that cross datacenter consistency is desired. The server may be required to detect the consistency indicator and in response, to determine a consistency key based at least in part on the request. In an example aspect, the consistency key may comprise a hash value determined by a hash function shared across datacenters, whereby every datacenter may determine the same consistency key for a given resource and datacenter combination. The server may be further configured to determine a preferred datacenter for handling the request based at least in part on the consistency key, and thereafter to redirect the request to the preferred datacenter. In embodiments, the consistency indicator may also denote a scope of the strong consistency required by the calling client.

Abstract: In some implementations, a server device can generate configuration data for an application based on user engagement segments associated with a user of the application. For example, a server device can receive information identifying user engagement segments associated with a particular user. When the server device receives a request for configuration data for the application that identifies the particular user, the server device can obtain the engagement segment identifiers associated with the particular user. The server device can use the engagement segment identifiers to obtain segment configuration data for each engagement segment identifier, combine the segment configuration data into a combined configuration, and send the combined configuration to the application on the user device. The application can then determine what content to present and how to present the content on the user device based on the combined configuration data.
