Abstract: A method and system for server driven adaptive transcoding is provided. A transcoding server computer may initially receive a first portion of a particular media file from a media file repository. The transcoding server computer may transcode the first portion of the particular media file into a first transcoded media segment of a first quality and send the first transcoded segment to a client computing device. The transcoding server computer may receive a second portion of the particular media file from the media file repository, transcode the second portion of the particular media file into a second transcoded media segment of a second quality different than the first quality, and send the second transcoded media segment to the client computing device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing remote access to an unavailable server is provided. In an embodiment, a proxy server computer receives a request to access data over a network from a client computing device. The proxy server computer identifies a particular server computer that is separate from the client computing device to fulfill the request. The proxy server computer then determines that the particular server computer is unavailable to a client computing device. In response to determining the particular server is unavailable to the client computing device, the proxy server computer maintains a transport layer connection from the client computing device. While maintaining the transport layer connection, the proxy server computer initiates startup of the particular server computer.

Abstract: A user accesses an organization device and schedules a location-specific event. The user has the option of inviting event participants, who can send to the organization device a response regarding the participation status of the invitee. The organization device tracks the participation status of each invitee. The organization device can also provide the participation status of each invitee to other invitees. In some cases, the organization device can communicate with a portable, location-aware electronic device of one or more of the invitees. In such cases, the organization device can also track and provide the arrival status of these invitees.
