  • Publication number: 20200389319
    Abstract: Various embodiments support or provide for an extensible electronic claim verification system that offers extensible support for electronic verification by one or more external electronic claim verification services that are external to the extensible electronic claim verification system. For some embodiments, the extensible claim verification system is readily configurable (e.g., by a user) to add or remove access to one or more external claim verification services available for use through the extensible electronic claim verification system by a client device. Some embodiments implement the extensible support by using a unified protocol for interfacing with different external claim verification services. By use of the unified protocol, various embodiments enable an external claim verification service to plug into an extensible claim verification system, thereby permitting a user to extend support of the extensible claim verification system to different types of external claim verification services.

  • Patent number: 9762518
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide session-based filtering to filter messages in a cooperative manner between a client and a service provider. In at least some embodiments, a service provider can establish a messaging session with a client and deliver messages to the client. The client can implement various client-side techniques to filter some of the messages based on various client designated criteria. The service provider can obtain feedback from the client indicative of one or more of the delivered messages that have been filtered. The service provider can dynamically create a session-based list based on the feedback and use the list during the session to block messages on the server-side according to the client designated criteria. When the session concludes, the session-based list can be discarded. In this manner, message filtering can occur without persistent storage of state data for the filtering at the service provider.

  • Patent number: 9760413
    Abstract: A notification service receives messages including various data from application services, and provides notifications including that data to the appropriate computing devices. Each computing device includes a notification system that receives notifications from the notification service and provides those notifications to the appropriate applications on the computing device. If an application is not allowed to run on a computing device, the notification system on the computing device provides an indication to the notification service to block notifications for the application on the computing device. The notification service ceases providing notifications to a computing device targeting applications for which notifications are blocked on the computing device until an indication is received from the computing device to unblock notifications for the application.

  • Patent number: 9225538
    Abstract: Stateless application notifications are described that enable third parties to provide messages to client applications. A communication channel can be established between a notification service and an application. Upon request, the notification service can generate obfuscated routing data for the channel, which can be in the form of a channel handle or token. The routing data can be encrypted and digitally signed to obscure the content and format of the routing data from third parties. An application service possessing the obfuscated routing data can package a notification with the data and send the package to the notification service for delivery. The application service does so without knowing the channel particulars encoded by the obfuscated routing data. The notification service that produces the obfuscated routing data can decrypt and interpret the data, and deliver the notification on the channel to an appropriate endpoint application on behalf of the application service.

  • Publication number: 20150120662
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a client-opaque synchronization state reference 612 may increase the scalability of a synchronization server 120. The synchronization server 120 may create a synchronization state reference 612. The synchronization server 120 may send the synchronization state reference 612 to a client device 110. The synchronization server 120 may receive a synchronization request 600 with the synchronization state reference 612 from the client device 110. The synchronization server 120 may determine a synchronization update 706 based on the synchronization state reference 610.
