  • Publication number: 20170178177
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for positioning, based on a position velocity measure, related media content within a media outlet such as a website, a blog, an aggregation page, an application, or the like. The related media content may be related to a media content and may link to the media content, be a derivative of the media content, summarize the media content, or the like. A location within a media outlet for a related media content may be determined and the related media content may be published accordingly. The location of a related media content may be modified from a first location to a second location. The size of a related media content may be increased and/or a related media content may be highlighted. Further, techniques are disclosed for publishing related media content within a zone from a plurality of zones associated with a media outlet.

  • Patent number: 9118636
    Abstract: Transfer of data files, such as large files for digital media, is performed through the intermediary of a gateway communication manager (GCM) that resides in an interface zone between external clients and an internal network. The external clients are registered with the GCM and request transfer of data files to the internal network. The GCM identifies a transfer agent to handle the transfer, and allocates a portion of shared bandwidth. If insufficient bandwidth is available or transfer agents are unavailable, the requested transfer may be placed in a queue and transfer occurs when bandwidth and agents can accommodate the request. The GCM may prioritize and re-prioritize transfers, such as based on the sender, content, and so forth. Multiple GCMs may manage transfers for external clients, and shared logs may be maintained to permit flexibility in management by the GCMs.
