Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media may be configured for establishing at least one session for delivery of multimedia. In an aspect, a first transmission of data fragments of a first component and a second transmission of data fragments of a second component may be transmitted and synchronized for presentation. If an inactivity event is detected the session may be maintained while reducing bandwidth consumption.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for performing Near-field communication (NFC) over a network are presented. In an implementation, a computing device may send to a mobile device a cellular signal that carries information for a NFC signal communication through a communication link, such as a cable. The computing device may determine that an NFC signal propagated from the mobile device has traversed or has been received over the communication link. The computing device may indicate receipt of the NFC signal, or initiate other actions.

Abstract: Generating a token for tracking a state of communications with multiple external services. Data is caused to be acquired from external services as a result of interpreting a communication from a client. The causing of the data to be acquired comprises causing a request to be issued for data from a first external service and receiving a response from the first external service. The response from the first external service includes at least a token associated with the first external service. In response to receiving the response from the first external service, an aggregate token is generated that includes the token associated with the first external service and a status of the request to the first external service. The aggregate token is caused to be sent to the client and is interpretable to inform the computer system of the status of the request to the first external service.

Abstract: Customization of persisted notifications, in which when a subject event happens, a notification is persisted. For instance, customization may be according to language, style, or other user preference. This may be particularly useful in situations in which a single user may change styles, user preferences, or even languages; or in which an application that generated the notifications is to be shared amongst various diverse users. For instance, one user may prefer notifications in English—another may prefer notifications in French but be blind, another may prefer Mandarin when she is in a non-English speaking country but English when she is in an English speaking country. The principles described herein allow flexible customizations and localizations of persistent notifications without having to translate every notification into every possible language, or persist the notification according to every possible style or user preference.

Abstract: Sharing a bundle. A method includes identifying a bundle defined by a first user. The bundle includes a number of portions. One or more portions are configured to provide data from a data source. The method further includes identifying within the bundle one or more portions of the bundle that can be changed when the bundle is consumed by other users. The method further includes modifying the identified portions before the bundle is consumed by other users.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media may be configured for establishing at least one session for delivery of multimedia. In an aspect, a first transmission of data fragments of a first component and a second transmission of data fragments of a second component may be transmitted and synchronized for presentation. If an inactivity event is detected the session may be maintained while reducing bandwidth consumption.

Abstract: Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for protecting sensitive data when importing and exporting resources. When a user exports resources from a source environment into a package, restricted information (e.g., privacy settings, security settings, resource identifiers, customer information, etc.) from the source environment can be replaced with unrestricted surrogate information. When a user imports resources into a target environment from a package, unrestricted surrogate information can be replaced with restricted information from the target environment. When a user imports resources, suggestions can be provided to help the user select the appropriate resource based on prior import selects. Aspects of the invention can include at least two phases. A first phase can include exporting a package from a source environment and a second phase can include importing the package into a target environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed comprising receiving an upstream service signal from a premises. In an aspect, the systems and methods are configured for providing a wireless signal based on the received service signal external to the premises.

Abstract: Securely storing assets in a cloud computer storage service. Preparation to store assets for a user may comprise determining a location to store the assets, generating a write access signature, and sending the determined location and the signature to the user. A request is received from the user to store the assets. Such a request includes the assets, the location, and the signature. In response to receiving the request, a determination is made regarding the write access signature whether the request should be honored. When the request is honored, the assets are stored in the determined location and the write access signature is invalidated. Upon subsequent user requests to access the assets, short-term read access signatures are generated and provided to the user. The assets are written once per generated write access signature and reads are to be performed close in time to when short-term read access signatures are requested.

Abstract: A device and method for forming a portable network environment outside a managed network environment for sharing content is provided. A portable network device enables authorized consumption of content outside a managed environment. The portable network device may have an internal rechargeable battery and support wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi. The portable network device may act as a Wi-Fi base station allowing access to authorized Wi-Fi clients via a mesh network.

Abstract: Disclosed systems and methods relate to segmented delivery of content. In one aspect, the segmentation process allows discrete segments of content to be moved through a content delivery network for reconstitution at an edge device. In addition, aspects of the disclosure provide for personalized delivery of content (e.g., advertising, etc.) to each end user and for bandwidth optimization by delivering format specific content based on the capability of an end user device. In yet other aspects, the methods and systems disclosed herein may support time-shifted viewing of live programming options and for adaptive bit rate transmission of content to user devices.
