Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide for the transfer of data between electronic devices utilizing a network clipboard. According to various embodiments described herein, a clipboard application residing on a host device associated with a user transmits data from a local clipboard of the host device to a remote network clipboard via a network. A clipboard application associated with a target device associated with the user transmits a request for the data stored on the network clipboard. A copy of the data associated with the user is retrieved from the network clipboard and stored on a local clipboard of the target device. The data is then copied to a target application. This process results from a single network clipboard transaction that includes a cut or copy action on the host device and a paste action on the target device.

Abstract: Included are embodiments for providing data. At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving a request at a web browser configured to send data via a first socket and sending the request to a COM module that is configured to send data via a second socket, the second socket being different than the first socket. Similarly, some embodiments include receiving at least a portion of requested data via the second socket, such that a continuous connection is established via the second socket and providing for display, at the web browser, at least a portion of the received data.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide for the management of communication modes to facilitate network communications. According to various embodiments described herein, any number of communication methods are categorized into communication modes and communication types. A party sending a communication may choose a method of communicating with a receiving party according to the desired communication mode and type. A network communication application determines the proper routing for the communication according to any number of communication rules and presence information associated with the receiving party.
