摘要:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer software, for interactive digital media service is presented. A content provider streams secondary content, such as images, chat-room discussions, offers for sale, promotions, advertisements, contests, or surveys, along with primary media content, such as radio or television programs, to multiple consumer devices. The consumer can interact with the content provider by sending messages in real time, and the content provider can edit or modify the primary media content or secondary content based on the received messages. The consumer can also order commercial transactions, such as buy products offered for sale, download digital content, songs, ring-tones, and screensavers. An operator of the system can manage and control the primary and secondary content and modify them in real time according to the consumer interaction. The content provider can also build a consumer data base based on the consumers' communications. Various business models are described as well.

Systems and methods for interacting with a device based on the location of the device are disclosed. Embodiments of these systems and methods may allow a content delivery system to provide certain content to a device, or restrict certain content from being delivered to the device, based on the location of the device. When a user requests certain content the location of the device may be determined and compared against an access control list defining a set or rules regarding that content to determine if the requested content may be accessed from that location. Similarly, the location of a device may be utilized to tailor the delivery of content to a device.

Systems and methods for improved performance in the storing and retrieving of objects. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a multi-tiered caching system implemented in a network transformation proxy. The proxy performs transformations on Web content received from a Web server and stores the transformed content in the caching system. The lowest tier of caches stores the content as cache objects, while higher tiers store references to lower tiers (such as the tier which stores the objects) as their cache objects. Cache entries are looked up using a plurality of keys. Each of the keys is used to look up an entry in a different tier of the cache.

Systems and methods for improving the performance of a data storage and retrieval system by enabling dynamic switching from one internal data structure to another in response to detecting conditions indicating that a switch would improve performance. In one embodiment, a network proxy implements a cache using a first internal data structure. The caches objects comprise Web pages, and the cache keys comprise URLs corresponding to the Web pages. The proxy monitors cache usage and periodically determines costs associated with usage of the first data structure and an alternative data structure. If the costs associated with the alternative data structure are less than the costs associated with the first data structure, the proxy crates the alternative data structure, migrates data from the first data structure to the alternative data structure, begins using the alternative data structure for the cache, and deletes the first data structure.
摘要:
A system and method for protecting software components of a software system can be used to guard against faults which might occur during the execution of a software component. A software component which is particularly prone to faults may be designated for protection. Faults occurring during execution of these protected software components can be detected, execution of the protected software component can be halted, and the software system may be restored to the state it held before execution of the protected software component commenced. The software system can then resume executing in a normal manner. Furthermore, a default value for the protected software component may be assigned in the event that a fault is detected during execution of the protected software component.
摘要:
A method and system can comprise a software architecture that allows different applications in the same or different communications protocols to interact with shared resources. More specifically, code for a computer program may be written to increase the amount of code that is generic to (i.e., shared by) more than one application or communications protocol and reduce the amount of code that handle application-specific or protocol-specific actions. In one embodiment, a transaction may be broken down into a set of discrete actions. The discrete actions may include functions that are common to more than one application. These functions may be part of the shared resources. Each application may have its own set of software plug-in modules for the discrete actions.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for dynamically controlling the notification behavior of a system. One embodiment of the present invention can include a system for controlling notification behavior of a system comprising a notification program stored on a computer-readable memory. The notification program can be executable by a computer processor to determine a first notification mode based on a set of configuration parameters and a first-system state. The notification program can be further executable to determine if a notification should be sent out based a set of configuration parameters associated with first notification mode and, if a notification should be sent out, communicate the notification over a network. The notification program can also receive an updated configuration parameter associated with the first notification mode and send out a new notification based on the updated configuration parameter.

Systems and methods for processing network transactions by breaking down the transactions into several stages and performing the processing corresponding to each stage using a different plug-in module. One embodiment of the invention comprises an application programming interface (API) that enables the use of individual plug-in modules to perform different stages of the processing of a transaction. The API defines a series of interfaces to corresponding plug-in processing modules, where each interface corresponds to a stage of processing of a transaction and the API conveys transaction information from one plug-in module to the next, until all of the processing stages have been completed. The API may be embodied in a network transaction processing application that is adaptable to different functionalities and different protocols by plugging different modules into the interface provided by the API.
