Abstract: This application discloses a conference creation method, a conference control method, and an electronic device. In the method, in response to receiving an operation performed by a user in a first interface, a first electronic device enters a second interface. The second interface includes an input box for inputting information and a first control for creating a conference. The user inputs conference information in the input box of the second interface. A third interface is displayed in response to receiving an operation performed by the user on the first control in the second interface. The third interface includes an agenda arrangement list, the agenda arrangement list is generated based on time of the conference and a preset agenda template, and the agenda arrangement list of the conference includes at least one topic. The user may edit an agenda in the agenda arrangement list, for example, uploading a conference material.

Abstract: System and method embodiments for placement of Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC) services on a switching network fabric are disclosed. Nodes on the switching network fabric are categorized into leader nodes, e.g., spine switches, and follower nodes, e.g., leaf switches. The CDC services are divided into centralized CDC services and distributed CDC services, which has direct connections to endpoints for seamless horizontal scaling of endpoints. The centralized CDC services are placed on a leader node and the distributed CDC services are placed among the follower nodes. Operations of the CDC services are monitored. In case of a node failure, CDC services deployed on the failed node are moved or transferred to one or more other nodes that have the same role as the failed node. Implementation of the CDC service placement embodiments enables seamless horizontal scaling for endpoints and provides capability for more visibility and monitoring of endpoint.

Abstract: In a network fabric, such as a network having CLOS topology, non-volatile memory express (NVMe®) endpoints may be connected to one of centralized discovery controller (CDC) distributed services placed among multiple leaf switches, which may have resource constraints. Connection scale, delay, and jitter may occur if the CDC distributed services are not placed on leaf switches close to NVMe endpoints served by the CDC distributed services. System and method embodiments are disclosed for placement of CDC services on a switching network fabric close to endpoints that are served by the CDC services. The placement of CDC services may be implemented via push registration, pull registration, and/or manual DDC adding/registration such that the CDC services may be placed on desired leaf switches close to endpoints.

Abstract: The present invention provides two forms of information interaction mechanisms and network transmission methods in a multimedia system. One is implementing bidirectional quick information interaction by using an interaction message body, so that the defect that there is no efficient and flexible bidirectional information interaction mechanism in existing media transmission systems can be overcome, and the mechanism is applicable to all media transmission systems. The other one is simplifying the size of protocol format header data for a simplest data packet forced by a protocol transmission format, so that the protocol format is quickly adapted to quick information interaction. The simplifying the size of protocol format header data can overcome the defect that there is no efficient bidirectional quick information interaction mechanism in the existing media transmission systems. In addition, an optimized transmission mechanism for a still image in a video stream is provided.

Abstract: An expander I/O module discovery/management system includes a secondary system chassis housing an expander I/O module coupled to a server device. The server device identifies the secondary system chassis and an expander I/O module port utilized by that server device, and then generates and transmits an expander I/O module reporting communication identifying the secondary system chassis and the expander I/O module port. A primary system chassis houses a switching I/O module coupled to the expander I/O module. The switching I/O module receives the expander I/O module reporting communication and determines that the secondary system chassis identified in the expander I/O module reporting communication is different than the primary system chassis. In response, the switching I/O module assigns a virtual slot to the expander I/O module, and assigns a virtual port associated with the virtual slot to the expander I/O module port identified in the expander I/O module reporting communication.

Abstract: A port configuration migration system includes a primary I/O module connected to a server device via a secondary I/O module. A fabric manager system maps a virtual interface to a first downlink port on the primary I/O module that is connected to the secondary I/O module, with the virtual interface providing a virtual direct connection to the server device. The fabric manager system then configures the virtual interface with communication configuration information for the server device such that communications received via the first downlink port are transmitted using the virtual interface. The fabric manager system then receives a discovery communication from the server device via a second downlink port on the primary I/O module that is connected to the secondary I/O module, and remaps the virtual interface to the second downlink port such that communications received via the second downlink port are transmitted using the virtual interface.

Abstract: A client computing system detects when a problem is encountered with an application and identified problem-specific diagnostic data that is to be collected, given the detected problem. It also identifies one or more problem-specific test or diagnostic analyzers and executes those analyzers to generate additional data. The data that is collected and the data that is generated by the analyzers is packaged and sent to a service computing system for identifying a remedial action that can be performed to address the problem. The remedial action is received and surfaced for the user.

Abstract: Personalized diagnostics, troubleshooting, recovery, and notification based on application state is provided. In some examples, system, application, and device level configuration and usage data may be collected as telemetry data. Upon detection of a crash or similar problem, or upon user activation, an assistance service and/or a local assistance application component may execute diagnostics on the crashed application based on the telemetry data, user credentials, known problems, and other factors which may be recorded by the assistance application and/or other system elements. Suitable recovery actions may be taken. If recovery actions are unsuccessful, diagnostic information may be provided to a support system and the issue elevated. Moreover, collected information may be provided to a system database for generating data insights and determining error patterns.
