Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for a proxy network that can determine, for a set of objects, an initial differential, where the initial differential is determined using a rules data store of a host network. The proxy network can further determine a supplemental differential for the set of objects. The proxy network can further determine a final differential that is the sum of the initial differential and the supplemental differential. The proxy network can further determine a final sum for the set of objects that is the object value less the final differential. The proxy network can further generate an outbound data packet that includes values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum. When the host network receives the outbound data packet, the host network can modify an object data store using the values corresponding to the set of objects and the final sum.

A system and method of forming proxy server pools is provided. The method comprises several steps, such as requesting a pool to execute the user's request and retrieving an initial group. The system checks the service history of an initial group, including whether any of the proxy servers in an initial group are exclusive to existing pools. The exclusive proxy servers in an initial group with eligible proxy servers are replaced when needed and new proxy server pools are formed. The system also records the service history of proxy servers and pools before and after the pools are created. The method can also involve predicting the pool health in relation with the thresholds foreseen and replacing the proxy servers below the threshold.

A media stream sending method, apparatus, and system for providing a live media stream for a client that enters a live broadcast room includes a proxy server that receives a first live broadcast room request message and a second live broadcast room request message that are sent by a same proxy client; the proxy server receives a first live media stream that is sent by a media server to a first client and a second live media stream that is sent by the media server to a second client; and when determining that a role of the first client is a master user, and that a role of the second client is a slave user, the proxy server sends only the first live media stream to the proxy client such that the proxy client sends the first live media stream to the first client and the second client.

A cloud-based IoT device virtualization network system includes: a cloud-based virtual server which, in response to registration requests received from multiple IoT devices, creates virtual sensing objects and virtual actuating objects for the IoT devices including various sensors and actuators, and creates a virtual object list and a mapping table presenting information about the connections between the IoT devices and the virtual objects and stores the created table and list therein; a client terminal including a client application stored therein which receives the virtual object list from the virtual server, sets connection relations between the virtual objects on the basis of the virtual object list, and transmits the settings to the virtual server; and a controller formed in the cloud to operate connectivity between the virtual sensing objects and the virtual actuating objects according to the connection settings of the client application.

Technology is disclosed for an image editing tool that generates a recipe for just-in-time processing of images (“the technology”). Various embodiments of the technology include an image processing system that provides image processing services to a client system that publishes content including an image to end users. The image processing system processes the image based on a recipe to generate a processed image. The image editing tool is integrated into an application, e.g., webpage or a web browser, that displays the content. A user, e.g., administrator of the client system, can use the image editing tool to edit the image on the webpage and generate the recipe including instructions regarding the edits. The recipe is transmitted to the image processing system which processes the image based on the recipe, and transmits the processed image to the client system for further transmission to the end users accessing the content.

To suppress reduction in facility utilization efficiency occurring on for a communication carrier and reduction in feeling quality occurring on users caused by a relay device arranged at a boundary between two networks comprising a mobile network. The relay device comprises a proxy part that terminates each of TCP communications with a data providing side apparatus and with a data transmission destination apparatus to be a transmission destination of data received from the data providing side apparatus; a transmission buffer that stores data to be transmitted to the data transmission destination apparatus among data received from the data providing side apparatus; a reception ability prospecting part that prospects reception ability of the data transmission destination apparatus based on vacant volume of the transmission buffer; and a transfer rate control part that instructs the data providing side apparatus of a transfer rate based on the reception ability of the data transmission destination apparatus.

Surrogate browsing techniques are disclosed. A request for a page is received, from a client, by a surrogate. The specified page is requested by the surrogate from a site. Data received from the site in response to the request is rendered at the surrogate. A representation of the page is transmitted to the client.
