Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for scaling network capacity predictively, based on customer interest. For instance, in one example, a method includes predicting an interest of a first customer in data content that will be available for consumption over a data network at a time in the future, wherein the predicting is based on customer data including at least a search pattern associated with the first customer, flagging the data content when the predicting indicates at least a threshold degree of likelihood that the first customer will be interested in the data content, and scaling an allocation of resources of the data network to the first customer, based on the flagging.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system of a media server determines a number of media content playout periods in a media program to be presented at a client device, obtains a media content item for presentation during a playout period, and transmits the media content item for storage in a client device cache prior to presentation of the media program. The method also includes transmitting to the client device a time stamp associated with the transmitting of the media content item, and transmitting an instruction to the client device to perform buffering of streaming media during the playout period. The client device also transmits a first message indicating that the transmitting of the media content item has been performed, and a second message indicating that the presenting of the media content item has been completed. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system loads a software program into compilers associated with different programming languages to identify a language of the software program, determines whether the software program is executable in the identified language, and compiles the software program to generate executable code. The system retrieves executable programs in the identified language from a program database, analyzes a syntax of the executable code and the executable programs, compares attributes of the executable code and the executable programs, and determines similarity ratings for the executable programs with respect to the executable code. The system also generates a code module comprising the executable code and at least a portion of the executable programs, based at least in part on the similarity ratings. Other embodiments are disclosed.
