Abstract: Image identification, retrieval, transformation and arrangement systems, methods, and computer-program products are configured to access a family tree of a user in a family tree database, identify one or more additional persons of interest in the family tree, determine whether the one or more persons of interest is associated with an image, retrieve the image, and transform the image of the one or more additional persons of interest with an image of the user or other person such as in an image arrangement template. Whether an image pertains to a person is determined using a machine learning classifier. A plurality of candidate lineages from a root or self node may be evaluated based on the number and/or quality of images associated therewith and/or based on filtering the one or more characteristics of the nodes in the candidate lineages.

Abstract: Implementations relate to configuration of networks using switch device access of a remote server. In some implementations, a method includes sending a request from an edge configuration device to an access control server, where the request requests shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information for a detected end device connected to the edge configuration device, and where the edge configuration device is connected to an SPB network. The method receives at the edge configuration device the SPB configuration information for the end device from the access control server. The edge configuration device is configured to provide the end device access to the SPB network.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to enabling configuration in networks. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a message from an edge configuration device, wherein the message contains shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information. The method also includes performing an intermediate system-to-intermediate system (IS-IS) configuration in response to receiving the message.

Abstract: Implementations relate to authentication of end devices in networks. In some implementations, a method includes receiving identity information at an edge configuration device from an end device via a connection, where the identity information identifies the end device or one or more users associated with the end device. A request is sent from the edge configuration device to an access control server connected to the network in response to receiving the identity information, where the request requests authentication for the end device. Authentication is received at the edge configuration device from the access control server for the end device to connect to a network connected to the edge configuration device.

Abstract: Implementations relate to configuration of networks using client device access of a remote server. In some implementations, a method includes requesting a management server from an end device for shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information for the end device to communicate on an SPB network, where the end device communicates with the management server over a non-SPB connection. The SPB configuration information is received from the management server, and the SPB configuration information is sent to an edge configuration device connected to the end device, where the SPB configuration information causes configuration of the edge configuration device to allow communication of the end device on the SPB network.

In some implementations, a method includes receiving shortest path bridging (SPB) configuration information at one or more of two peer server devices provided in a server cluster having a communication link connecting the peer server devices, where the server cluster is connected to a network and is detectable as a single logical server by a network device on the network. The information is sent from each receiving peer server device to the other peer server device over the communication link, where the information is related to the received SPB configuration information. Network configurations are synchronized on the two peer server devices based on the information sent over the communication link.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for receiving a local input video signal, processing the video signal, and providing a processed video signal to a local digital television display panel. A communications port includes an Ethernet or other communications network connector for allowing access to the video signal processing system by a remote device. This allows a remote user to remotely diagnose, debug, and even modify operation of the video signal processing system. In certain examples, this involves downloading a Lua script that can take partial or complete control over operation of the video signal processing system from resident instruction code. In certain examples, the video signal processing system includes pipelined image analysis or processing stages. Video signal data intermediate to such processing, or the processed video signal being provided to the local display can be communicated to the remote user.
