Abstract: Embodiments include methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for managing an overload condition of a care provider. Some embodiments may include monitoring communications sent to a care provider communication device to identify a plurality of overload factors, determining whether the plurality of overload factors meets an overload condition for the care provider, and performing a mitigation operation in response to determining that the plurality of overload factors meets the overload condition for the care provider.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a communication platform that includes receiving a media message request; obtaining a set of web content resources associated with the media message request; rendering the set of web content resources; converting the rendered set of web content resources into a media resource; and transmitting the media resource to a destination according to the media message request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for, e.g., providing a statutory audio content service on a portable device that complies with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The user can select a playlist subject to DMCA restrictions but cannot access individual items. Content playback, including skipping of content, is restricted to enforce relevant DMCA provisions. Encryption used to implement digital rights management (DRM) may be modified to enforce such content play rules or, alternatively, an additional layer of encryption may be imposed. Limitations on playback are stored along with the playlist structure in a form that is protected against modification. Information logging content playback is maintained in protected form to be uploaded and relayed to the service provider for the purpose of calculating royalty payments.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to processing content using a personal cloud. One of a plurality of content items respectively associated with a plurality of devices of a personal cloud is determined. A processing to be performed on the one content item is determined. The processed version of the one content item is determined.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for intelligent caching is provided. A thin layer of business logic on a web server receives URL requests sent to the web server from clients and resolves the URLs into URLs corresponding to component parts of the requested document according to the rules of a rule set. Thus only the component resources of a composite document are cached in the web server's caching layer. The rule set defines a format for the requests sent to the web server, the manner in which properly formatted requests should be resolved, and the manner in which the component resources should be assembled into the composite document.
