Abstract: An approach is described of facilitating processing of a message at a target endpoint. The approach may facilitate message processing regardless of format. A method pertaining to such approach may include receiving, at a target endpoint, a message that includes a content portion and a script code portion that is required to execute the content portion. The message may be propagated via a network. The method further may include parsing the script code portion to identify at least one instruction. The method further may include processing the content portion by executing the at least one instruction via at least one scripting engine. The at least one scripting engine may be located in a restricted operating system environment within a virtual machine. According to an embodiment, the script code portion may be stored in a header of the message.

Abstract: Processing of a continuous, high-resolution video data stream for reduced data storage is provided. The processing includes: analyzing the continuous, high-resolution data stream for one or more specified image elements of interest; identifying at least one image element of the one or more specified image elements of interest in the continuous video data stream; passing one or more video segments of the continuous video data stream as high-resolution video, the one or more video segments containing the identified at least one image element of the one or more specified image elements of interest; and reducing resolution of other portions of the continuous video data stream than the one or more video segments to low-resolution video, wherein low-resolution video includes less data than high-resolution video.

Abstract: A mail receptacle platform is configured to receive and to stack mail, and rotate to collect new mail. The mail receptacle includes a retained mail compartment, a discarded mail compartment, a video camera configured to capture video within a general mail receptacle compartment, an extendible arm including a mail grabber, the extendible arm is connected to an actuator configured to be actuated based on control signals, to place a particular piece of mail for viewing by the video camera, and to sort mail retained by the mail receptacle platform into one of the retained mail compartment and the discarded mail compartment, and a control interface configured to receive control signals and transmit video captured by the video camera. The control interface includes: a receiver, a transmitter and a power source.
