    Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are provided to facilitate the delivery of video content in a video streaming system. Specifically, the various embodiments can provide improved responsiveness by reducing the delay that occurs between when a user acts to initiate video streaming and when the video content is transmitted, received and displayed on a display screen. In general, these embodiments reduce delay by preloading video streaming content in response to detecting particular patterns of movement of a remote control. Specifically, these embodiments monitor for movement of the remote control and determining if a detected movement corresponds to a likely initiation of video streaming. When such movements are detected, the embodiments begin preloading the video streaming content at the video player device.

    Abstract: Processes, devices, and systems for routing a user from a current location to a destination are described. A process may include determining, by a user device, a current user location (“CUL”); obtaining a current user location air quality environment (“CULAQE”); obtaining a current user location air quality index (“CULAQI”); determining a destination location (“DL”); determining a current route segment (“CRS”) from the CUL to the DL; and optimizing the CRS based on the CULAQI. A mapping application may identify the CULAQE and the CULAQI may be determined from an air quality rating. Operations may include receiving real-time air quality index data (“RAQI”) for the CULAQE, optimizing the CRS based on the RAQI, obtaining a destination location first air quality environment (“DLAQE(1)”), obtaining a destination location first air quality index (“DLAQI(1)”), receiving RAQI for the DLAQE(1), and optimizing a user's routing based on the RAQI for the DLAQE(1).

    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to communicate with multiple network components in a service-based architecture and comprising a memory and a processor. The memory stores multiple configuration commands; multiple local provisioning parameters; and a configuration script. Each local provisioning parameter is a backup copy of a corresponding configuration command. The processor is configured to generate a request to establish a communication session between a first network and a second network component. Further, the processor is configured to establish the communication session between the first network component and the second network component based at least in part upon a configuration command; determine that the communication session is lost based at least in part upon identifying an interruption in the communication session; and execute the configuration script to instruct the first network component to establish a backup communication session based at least in part upon a local provisioning parameter.

    Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices and other aspects of a data processing system provide improved reliability in delivering digital media content over the Internet or a similar wide area network without sacrificing data security. Content is initially placed into a secure format (e.g., secure hypertext transport protocol (HTTPS) via transport control protocol (TCP) or the like). Prior to transmission on the network, the secure data packets are encapsulated within connectionless frames, such as user datagram protocol (UDP) frames. The client device that receives the encapsulated packets extracts the underlying secure content from the connectionless frames for further processing. The encapsulation into connectionless data frames permits client and server devices to establish effective streaming sessions while preserving the security of the underlying data.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, method, and program products are provided, which support temporally-seamless change functionalities during multichannel streaming sessions established between a streaming media server and a client media receiver. In embodiments, the method includes outputting, to a display device, a first streaming channel contained in a streaming channel bundle and assigned a high priority level. When receiving a channel change request to view a second streaming channel, the client media receiver monitors for additional channel change requests over a predetermined wait period. If an additional channel change request is received within the wait period, the client media receiver repeats the step of monitoring. Conversely, if an additional channel change request is not received with the wait period, the client media receiver sends a channel reprioritization command to the streaming media server to prioritize the second streaming channel over the first streaming channel in continued transmission of the streaming channel bundle.
