Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to ingesting event data into a discoverable event stream using a common schema to assign timeseries properties to the event data. These techniques may include receiving a first event of a pre-processed event stream, the first event including a plurality of event data fields representing an occurrence of the first event, and determining timing information based on the plurality of event data fields representing the occurrence of the first event. In addition, the techniques may include generating, based on combining the plurality of event data fields and the timing information, a second event of a discoverable event stream corresponding to the pre-processed event stream, and generating, within a time series of the discoverable event stream, based on the timing information and an event field of the plurality of event data fields, a time series entry corresponding to the second event.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to detecting occurrence of triggers related to properties of objects indicated in event data in a discoverable event stream. These techniques may include identifying a namespace associated with an activation trigger, and identifying a plurality of time-series based objects of a discoverable event stream associated with the namespace. The techniques may further include determining that an activation rule is met over the plurality of time-series based objects. Additionally, the techniques may include transmitting an activation trigger event to an activation component, the activation trigger event including a generic activation identifier identifying an action to perform, and an actor identifier identifying an actor to perform the action.

Abstract: Described are examples for managing event data from multiple event data sources including executing, by a processor, a query for event data in a discoverable event stream, wherein the event data is stored as timeseries data in the discoverable event stream such that a property corresponding to an object has multiple different values at multiple different time instances, determining, based on a timeseries function, a subset of the multiple different values for the property in instances of the event data that correspond to the multiple different time instances to return for the query, and returning the subset of the multiple different values for the property for the query.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to monitoring for an activation result within a discoverable event stream. These techniques may include generating, based on an activation trigger event, by an activation component, a first activation instruction event to trigger a first action at a first actor, and transmitting the first activation instruction event to the first actor. In addition, the techniques may include monitoring for receipt of an actor status event of a discoverable event stream, the actor status event indicating performance or non-performance of the first action by the first actor in response to the first activation instruction event, and generating, based on the monitoring, by the activation component, a second activation instruction event to trigger a second action at a second actor. Further, the techniques may include transmitting the second activation instruction event to the second actor.

Abstract: Described are examples for managing event data from multiple event data sources including executing, by a processor, a query for event data in a discoverable event stream over a time window that includes a delay tolerance window specific to the query, wherein the event data is stored as timeseries data in the discoverable event stream such that at least one property corresponding to at least one object has multiple different values at multiple different time instances, and wherein the delay tolerance window is configured to capture potentially out-of-order event data or late arriving event data, and returning a subset of multiple different values for the at least one property in instances of the event data corresponding to the time window with the delay tolerance window applied for the query.

Abstract: A method for updating a message exchanged over a communications network during an instant messaging communication session between a plurality of participants each associated with a participant device, the message comprising a plurality of updateable fields, the method comprising: maintaining state information of each of the plurality of updateable fields in a memory; detecting at least one selection by one or more of the plurality of participants to edit at least one of the updateable fields; updating the state information of the at least one of said plurality of updateable fields in response to the detection; and communicating the updated state information to at least one of the participants of the instant messaging communication session.

Abstract: An instant messaging communication method implemented by a client application when executed on a user device, the method comprising: detecting selection by a user of the user device to transmit a poll message to at least one further device of an instant messaging communication session over a communications network; receiving a search term input by the user using an input device of the user device; transmitting a search request comprising the search term over the communications network to a network entity configured to perform a search for web content; and automatically populating a plurality of poll option fields in a poll message to be transmitted to the at least one further device based on search results received from the network entity in response to transmitting the search request.
