Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing context to users who access video conferences late. This may be accomplished by a system receiving an audio segment of a video conference and generating a subtitle corresponding to the audio segment. The system may determine a summary relating to the audio segment and then display the subtitle, summary, and video conference on a device. The system allows a user, who accesses a video conference late, to quickly and accurately understand the current video conference discussion, improving the user's experience and increasing the productivity of the video conference.

Abstract: A computer system and method for transferring a file from a device in proximity, including start downloading a file from a message addressed to a recipient, checking the message for one or more common recipients of the message; downloading the file from a remote server in response to no common recipient devices being in proximity to the recipient device, downloading the file from a remote server in response to the file not being available for transfer from any common recipient devices being in proximity to the recipient device, automatically applying file transfer permissions to the downloaded file for each of the common recipients of the message, checking if a common recipient device in proximity has requested to download the file, and transferring the file to the requesting common recipient device in proximity in response to the common recipient device in proximity being a mapped trusted device of the recipient device.

Abstract: A client application can be configured to render user interface cards, based on card data provided by a remote card engine. An API Response as Card (ARC) engine can intercept a communication between the client application and the card engine, and determine that the communication is associated with another backend system. The ARC engine can request that the backend system perform an account action associated with a user account. The ARC engine can provide information derived from a response from the backend system, reflecting a result of the account action, to the card engine. The card action can generate card data associated with the result of the account action performed by the backend system, and the client application can use the card data to render and display a corresponding card, even if neither the client application nor the card engine are natively configured to interface with the backend system.

Abstract: The nodes of a squad of nodes include a coordinating node and a set of worker nodes for sharing computational resources to perform resource intensive tasks. A requesting worker node may send work requests to the coordinating node of a squad of nodes. In response to a work request, the requesting worker node receives from the coordinating node a list of worker nodes to assign one or more tasks associated with the work request. The list of worker nodes is selected based on a report of resources and current utilization of each node within the squad. Upon receiving the list of workers, the requesting worker node divides the tasks associated with the work request into multiple buckets, assigns each bucket to a worker node form the list of worker nodes, and sends a request to process tasks from each of the buckets to the corresponding worker node.

Abstract: When a current situation corresponds to at least one of action determination conditions as conditions for determining a curbing action as an action for curbing inappropriate use of an electronic device carried and used by a user, the electronic device determines the curbing action according to the action determination condition to which the current situation corresponds, and executes the determined curbing action.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method of generating a bit stream encoding a video stream is performed by a device including one or more processors and non-transitory memory. The method includes decomposing a video stream into a plurality of frequency band video streams. The method includes determining a target bitrate and determining, for each frequency band video stream, a respective frequency band bit rate based on the target bit rate. The method includes encoding each of the plurality of frequency band video streams at its respective frequency band bit rate and transmitting, over a channel, each encoded frequency band video stream.

Abstract: A server maintains a gallery of ephemeral messages. Each ephemeral message is posted to the gallery by a user for viewing by recipients via recipient devices. In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter. Each ephemeral message is removed from the gallery, thus being unavailable for viewing upon request, at expiry of the corresponding message availability parameter.

Abstract: A system and method for improving media delivery and display. By utilizing a memory buffer in a DVR or similar device, and broadcasting linear content at a rate other than 1×, services like video on demand or regular broadcasters can be more versatile. For example, viewers can start over without launching a separate VOD session. If part of the linear content requested is not in the buffer, a switched multicast stream can be sent with the proper section of content. Other receivers on the network may also receive the stream and buffer the content if the content is related to what a viewer is viewing.

Abstract: Configuration information indicating that one or more stream consumers are granted read-only access to contents of a shared-access data stream is stored at a stream management service. A virtual stream associated with the shared-access stream may be established. In response to a read request directed to the virtual stream, contents of a particular record of the shared-access data stream are provided.

Abstract: A network monitoring device may receive, from a mediation device, flow-tap content data (generated by the mediation device based on current and/or previous investigation reports associated with flow tapping) that needs to be monitored. The network monitoring device may map the content data to a flow-tap content destination address of a content destination device in an entry of a flow-tap content filter. The network monitoring device may analyze, using the flow-tap content filter, network traffic of the network to detect a traffic flow that includes the content data. The network monitoring device may generate, based on successfully detecting a traffic flow that includes the content data, a traffic flow copy and may provide the traffic flow copy to the flow-tap content destination address, wherein the traffic flow copy is to be accessible to the content destination device to enable a context analysis of the content data.

Abstract: Systems, devices and techniques for an adaptive application-specific probing scheme are disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for performing real-time monitoring of server-side resources required to satisfy a client-side request in a distributed data storage environment, such as in a cloud computing or HPC (high performance computing) network. A client device is configured to issue a service request to carry out a service application associated with one or more server nodes. A request scheduler forwards the service request from the client device to a selected server node associated with the service request. A service log accumulates entries associated with data transfer operations carried out by the server node responsive to the service request over each of a succession of time periods. A service monitor accumulates, for each of the succession of time periods, information associated with the data transfer operations. A monitor tool aggregates the cumulative information to provide an indication of server-side resources utilized to satisfy the service request.
