Abstract: A method to provide a unified and integrated view of the SMS Interaction history with other channel messages (irrespective of the Interaction channel) based on Case ID (Case Identifier) in a CRM application. The method parses the incoming SMS message text for the Case Identifier. The Interaction Thread belonging to the same Case ID is retrieved from the CRM application database and the incoming SMS message is added to that Interaction Thread. The whole interaction history pertaining to the same Case ID is displayed on the CRM application user interface at one place along with latest received massage via SMS along with various other channels of communication in order to enable proper management of the customer interaction. In case there is no Interaction Thread having same Case ID, a new Interaction Thread is created and all subsequent messages are threaded to the new Interaction Thread.

The transformed multicast stream is sent to the multicast receiver.

Abstract: A system may include a client and a distributed data manager coupled to the client. The distributed data manager may include a data store storing a data object that includes several sub-elements. The client is configured to update a portion of the data object by sending a message to the distributed data manager. The message specifies one of the sub-elements of the data object to be updated and includes a new value of that sub-element but does not include a new value of the entire data object. The distributed data manager is configured to perform updates to the data object in the data store dependent on which of the sub-elements of the data object are specified by the client.
