Abstract:
Network devices provide, to a content source device, an uplink user interface to describe and upload video content. The network devices receive, via the uplink user interface, descriptive information for the video content and generate, based on the descriptive information received via the uplink user interface, a unique content identifier for the video content. The network devices incorporate, based on the descriptive information, a listing of the video content into a catalog of content available to users of a content distribution network. The network devices receive, from the content source device, the video content and receive, from a user device, a request to view the video content that includes the unique content identifier. The network devices provide, to the user device, a link to enable the user device to access the video content via the content distribution network.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provides to receive a packet from an Internet of Things (IoT) device, wherein the packet carries IoT data; determine a classification of the IoT device from which the first packet is received, in response to a receipt of the packet, wherein the classification indicates a type of IoT device; select standard data types assigned to the classification of the IoT device, in response to a determination of the classification of the IoT device; determine whether the IoT data includes all of the standard data types based on the standard data types selected; convert the IoT data into an IoT standard format in response to a determination that the IoT data includes all of the standard data types; generate another packet that includes the IoT data in the IoT standard format in response to a conversion of the IoT data; and transmit the other packet to a network device.
Abstract:
An exemplary method includes a digital advertisement insertion optimization system accessing data that indicates a playback return position at which playback of a media program is to be resumed following insertion of an advertisement in the media program when a first media file comprising the media program encoded in a first media format is used for playback of the media program, analyzing a second media file comprising the media program encoded in a second media format to identify a set of key frames within the second media file, selecting a key frame from the identified set of key frames; and generating data that indicates a new playback return position at which playback of the media program is to be resumed following insertion of an advertisement when the second media file is used for playback of the media program.
Abstract:
One or more network devices provide, to a user device, a content list of content items available for presentation. The one or more network devices receive, from the user device, a personalized channel plan that includes a schedule of selected content items, from the content list, for presentation on a viewing device that is different than the user device. The one or more network devices select, based on the selected content items, advertising for inclusion with the selected content items and assign links for the viewing device to obtain the selected content items. The one or more network devices send the links to the user device, which may in turn be provided to the viewing device.
Abstract:
A conference call may be implemented between multiple user devices via a conference call server. A user may use a graphical interface of the user device to communicate with the conference call server and control the conference call in various ways. For instance, the user may add a user device to the conference call, drop a user device from the conference call, organize the user devices into conference call groups, record one or more user devices within the conference call, prevent a user device from hearing the audio input of another user device, filter out background noise from the conference call, and receive a call from outside the conference call without having to leave the conference call.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to obtain network state information pertaining to at least a portion of a network that provides an adaptive bitrate streaming service; generate a recommended bitrate for delivery of a program based on the network state information; transmit the recommended bitrate to user devices; monitor a compliance and a non-compliance of the recommended bitrate by the user devices; and assign a credit commensurate with the compliance of the recommended bitrate to each of the user devices that complied with the recommended bitrate and a penalty commensurate with the non-compliance of the recommended bitrate to each of the user devices that did not comply with the recommended bitrate.
Abstract:
A device may configure recognition of a first alert. The device may store information associated with recognition of the first alert. The device may determine a response action to be associated with recognition of the first alert. The device may store information identifying an association between the first alert and the response action. The device may detect a second alert. The device may determine that the second alert matches the first alert based on the information associated with recognition of the first alert. The device may retrieve the stored information identifying the association between the first alert and the response action based on determining that the second alert matches the first alert. The device may perform the response action based on retrieving the stored information identifying the association between the first alert and the response action.
Abstract:
A status of an Internet of Things (IoT) device included in a local area cloud is identified. The local area cloud includes IoT devices that are connected in a wireless local area network (WLAN), and one IoT device functions as a leader of the local area cloud. A cloud server associated with the IoT device is identified and information identifying the status is forwarded to the cloud server via a wireless wide area network (WWAN). The cloud server selects an action to be performed by the IoT device and forwards data identifying the action. The leader receives and distributes information identifying the action to the IoT device via the local area cloud. The action may include actions by multiple IoT devices in the local area cloud or IoT devices included in multiple local area clouds. A user may input data to control the cloud server.
Abstract:
A method, performed by a computer device, may include receiving a request to send a message from a sender to a recipient. The method may further include obtaining a recipient status associated with the recipient, wherein in the recipient status includes an indication that the recipient is in motion; identifying a sender rule associated with the sender; selecting a notification type for the message based on the recipient status and the identified sender rule; and applying the selected notification type to the message.
Abstract:
A network device receives configuration information for monitoring, via a network, control data for a monitored customer device. The configuration information includes business rules for responding to an event when the control data is outside baseline control limits. The network device identifies original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or service provider recommended limits for the control data and receives initial control data, associated with the monitored customer device, for a particular time period. The network device determines, based on the initial control data, baseline control limits related to the OEM or service provider recommended limits. The network device receives, an indication of an out-of-bounds event, wherein the out-of-bounds event includes at least one instance where subsequent control data is outside the baseline control limits and initiates, based on the business rules, an action responsive to the out-of-bounds event.
