A client updates a display of a user interface associated with a state-based client-server application in accordance with a client-side cache. The server supplies data for a new state and additional data for one or more subsequent states that possibly follow the new state if appropriate one or more operations are performed. When a client request is generated that indicates an operation that causes the application to transition to the new state, the client updates the display in accordance with the data that corresponds to the new state from the client-side cache, if available from the client-side cache. The new state data is available since the server has previously supplied the new state data.

The electronic device may invoke a host application. The device may display a first host user interface on the display, the first host user interface including a first host user interface component associated with a child application. In response, the device may invoke, using the host application, the child application executed at the electronic device. The device may transmit, using the host application, a request for data associated with a child user interface component to the child application. The device may transmit, using the child application, the request for data associated with the child user interface component to a child application server, wherein the data associated with the child user interface component is inaccessible by the host application. The device may receive, using the child application, the data associated with the child user interface component from the child application server. The device may display the child user interface component.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for remotely executing binaries in a containerized computing environment using a lightweight inter-process communications protocol (IPC) and UNIX domain sockets. One example method includes establishing, in a shared computing image comprising a plurality of containers, a listening UNIX domain socket, where the listening UNIX domain socket is shared between all containers in the shared computing image. A request to execute a binary in the target container is received at a target container and from a client container using the listening UNIX domain socket. A worker service is generated in the target container. The worker service executes the binary in the target container. A return exit code associated with the executed binary is received and sent to the client container using the UNIX domain socket.

Embodiments improve application gateway architecture by pushing secure managed service boundaries. Managed services that were previously available directly in application gateway code are separated from application gateway code and exposed to service clients in a controlled, secured manner via a RESTful API layer dedicated to the management and interaction of deployed managed services. The separation can be realized in management agents. A management agent receives a service request from an application and makes an API call to the dedicated management API layer of the managing application gateway. The application may run within a managed container on a user device. Responsive to the API call, the application gateway sends a control or configuration message to the management agent over HTTP. The management agent controls or configures the managed service to function or behave as dictated by the application gateway.

Systems, methods and apparatus for invoking actions at a second user device from a first user device. A method includes determining that a first user device has an associated second user device; accessing specification data that specifies a set of user device actions that the second user device is configured to perform; receiving command inputs for the first user device; for each command input, determining whether the command input resolves to one of the user device actions; for each command input not determined to resolve any of the user device actions, causing the command input to be processed at the first user device; and for each command input determined to resolve one of the user device actions causing the first user device to display in a user interface a dialog by which a user may either accept or deny invoking the user device action at the second user device.

This document discloses techniques, apparatuses, and systems for inter-service communication management to manage inter-service communication between a server-side service and a client-side service. The inter-service management system may comprise memory and a controller configured to perform the inter-service communication management. In aspects, a configuration file may be used to obtain information specifying a first inter-service communication mechanism for communicating one or more messages between the client-side and server-side services. The inter-service communication management system may instantiate a stub associated with the inter-service communication mechanism information, which can be used to communicate a message from the server-side service to a proxy that interacts with the client-side service. The message may then be forwarded from the proxy to the client-side service to enable inter-service communication between the server-side service and the client-side service.

According to an embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a plurality of service engines corresponding to a plurality of speech recognition services, respectively; a communication module connected via wireless communication to a plurality of service servers for providing the plurality of speech recognition services, respectively; a mike configured to receive speech of a user; and a service controller configured to store at least one wakeup word corresponding to each of the plurality of speech recognition services in advance, determine a speech recognition service corresponding to a wakeup word received by the mike from among the plurality of speech recognition services based on the plurality of wakeup words stored in advance, send a user command received by the mike to a service engine corresponding to the determined speech recognition service among the plurality of service engines.

Methods and systems that facilitate automatic generation of Application Programming Interface (API) specification from web traffic. Methods include obtaining a plurality of API requests and responses to the plurality of API requests. Methods include processing these API requests and responses to API requests to identify one or more attributes, such as, for example, variables, query parameters, response status codes, and response schemas. Methods include identifying variables using a tree data structure to represent resource paths. Methods include identifying query parameters based on resource items in resource paths. Methods include determining that the API call does not conform to the API specification by comparing one or more attributes of the API call with the attributes of the API specification.

A client device downloads a sandboxed application contained within a sandbox. A relay server external to the client device is arranged to pass messages between the sandboxed application and a privileged application of the client device. A content server provides a content application which is downloaded and installed on the client device by the privileged application in response to a request from the sandboxed application received via the relay server.

A method for issuing commands to remote devices comprising determining a criterion that forms a rule for a service, the service comprising a service property, a service method, and a service event distributing the rule to a behavior engine on a programmable device, the behavior engine comprising a set of rules, and evaluating, at the behavior engine, if a trigger criterion for the rule is met. Upon determining that the trigger criterion is met, the method may further comprise performing an action comprising evaluating, at the behavior engine, if a condition is met, and upon determining that the condition is met, issuing a command to perform a first action comprising setting a service property and calling a service method for all devices including the service property within a scope of the action, defining an action scope.
