    摘要: Methods and devices for enabling communication of a client application of a computing device with other devices are provided. The method includes obtaining, from a first client application on the computing device, one or more preferences for creating a first subservice for communicating with the other devices. A template service file associated with the first client application is identified and the template service file includes property definitions for creating subservices that communicate with the other devices. The template service file is used to create a first configuration file corresponding to the first client application, the a first configuration file including a plurality of the property definitions of the template service file. At least one of the plurality of the property definitions is modified using the one or more preferences. The first configuration file is stored in a memory of the computing device.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for validating an association of a telephone number with a cellular communication device (e.g., validating an assignment of an MSISDN to an IMSI of the cellular communication device). For example, the validating may be performed as part of a process of registering the cellular communication device with a registration server for participation in online communication sessions. In other examples, the validation may be performed for purposes other than registration for participation in online communication sessions. Various mechanisms may be available for performing the validation. The registration server may determine the available mechanisms, and may provide to the cellular communication device an ordered list of mechanisms according to a preferred order. The cellular communication device may improve efficiency of validation by attempting the mechanisms in the preferred order.

    摘要: When a new version of a first program is to be installed on a first device, metadata supplied to that device specifies which versions of a second program stored on a second device are compatible with the new version. The first device uses this metadata to determine a compatibility classification that indicates how compatible the current version of the second program and the new version of the first program are, and transitions to a state representative of this compatibility classification. A process executing on the first device receives messages from applications executing on the first device. The process reads mappings between these applications and the message types these applications send. The process forwards an application's message to the second device if the application sends a message type allowable in the first device's state. Otherwise, the process queues that message at least until the first device transitions to a different state.
