Abstract: A method of controlling, from a user device, a manner in which program content is received from a content server. The method includes: transmitting, from the user device, at least one transmission-quality-of-service (TXQ) parameter to the content server, wherein the at least one TXQ parameter updates a default TXQ parameter at the content server; and in response to transmitting the at least one TXQ parameter, receiving new program content in accordance with the at least one TXQ parameter.

Abstract: A method of providing a synchronized secondary audio track via a mobile device. The method includes: receiving, at a mobile device, a request from a user to receive a secondary audio track that corresponds with a primary audio track of an audio-visual (AV) program which is presented to the user; receiving the secondary audio track at the mobile device; receiving at the mobile device a playback-control cue; and in response to receiving the playback-control cue, outputting audio data of the secondary audio track so that the audio data is synchronized with the primary audio track.

Abstract: A media delivery system that provides media content to a user device and a method of using the system. The method may include: downloading or buffering, from a content server, a media unit to a user device; and concurrently outputting a local-automation message or a package delivery message in response to the downloading or buffering.

Abstract: Techniques are described for centrally directed self-healing of networked devices. Large numbers of networked devices can be configured according to configuration data. A central management system (CMS) can group the devices into device swarms having identical nominal device configurations. The CMS can determine a swarm-agreed configuration state for each device swarm that corresponds to a determined “correct” configuration for devices in the device swarm. Over time, the devices send configuration fingerprints to the CMS to indicate their current configuration states, and the CMS can analyze the current configuration states against the swarm-agreed configurations to detect potential configuration issues. In response, the CMS can automatically direct remedying of the detected configuration issues in accordance with the swarm-agreed configurations.
