A Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (PLUS) session between a PLUS source (100) and a PLUS sink (200) is initiated and controlled by the PLUS sink. The PLUS source registers with the PLUS sink and indicates its capabilities. The PLUS sink requests establishment of the session and further controls the session once established. The PLUS sink sends control requests that include control information to the PLUS source, thereby controlling media streaming at the PLUS source remotely.

Methods and systems for managing content are disclosed. As an example, a plurality of content fragment of a content asset may be generated and a plurality of time stamps may be associated with each of the plurality of fragments. A first time stamp may indicate a time a respective one of the plurality of fragments was generated and a second time stamp may represent an event time associated with one or more events of the network. As such, at least a portion of the plurality of content fragments may be transmitted to each of a plurality of content packagers, wherein at least the second time stamp associated with each of the plurality of fragments facilitates the alignment of the plurality of content packagers with each other.

A method of communication between a sending device and a recipient device, comprising a step (210; 310; 410) for transmission, from the sending device to the recipient device, of a first message comprising a first service identifier relating to a first data transport service and a first data set corresponding to a configuration of said first data transport service, a step (220; 320; 420) for the sending, from the sending device to the recipient device, of a second message comprising a first protocol identifier relating to a first data transmission protocol and a second data set corresponding to a configuration of said first data transmission protocol, the first message and the second message being sent separately.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a computer-implemented method that includes obtaining, at a computer system, a plurality of contact identifiers for a computer account holder, wherein the identifiers represent a plurality of different communication modes; identifying a handle for the account holder, wherein the handle is associated with a uniform resource locator; and correlating the handle with the plurality of contact identifiers, and storing the handle and plurality of contact identifiers together so as to permit retrieval of the contact identifiers in response to identification of the handle.

By analyzing the apps on a portable computing device 500, the communication modes used by the portable computing devices 500 and the communication requirements of the apps at a given time, an ideal communication mode given a certain mix of apps operating on a portable computing device 500 at a given point in time may be determined

The present disclosure provides a system for a game application host system and game application that can determine the hardware characteristics of a user computing system for use during online matchmaking in a multiplayer game application. The game application can include a hardware analysis module that can evaluate the user computing system to determine the speed and operational characteristics of the hardware. The hardware characteristics can be used for matchmaking by a matchmaking module of the host application system to select hosts and users for a game match. The hardware analysis module that can run tests, such as a data throughput analysis and a processing analysis, to evaluate and rate the user computing system. The ratings can be incorporated into the matchmaking analysis along with other matchmaking characteristics, such as latency, player skill level, geographical location, and other existing matchmaking characteristics, in order to selects users for game matches.

A method for interaction of a wireless communication device with an identification unit, the wireless communication device being connected with said identification unit, the wireless communication device further operating within a cellular network by means of said identification unit, said identification unit being configured to carry information representing a subscription for operating a wireless communication device in the cellular network, the wireless communication device and the identification unit being adapted to provide each a set of capabilities of operation within the cellular network, includes the steps of: determining a first set of information representing the capabilities of the wireless communication device, determining a second set of information representing the capabilities of the identification unit, analysing the first and the second set of information for differences, carrying out measures for handling of differences, in case differences have been detected at the analysing step.

The disclosure provides a Software Defined Network (SDN)-based data management method and system, and a computer storage medium. The method includes: a client and a proxy server perform capability negotiation therebetween; when it is determined through the capability negotiation that both the client and the proxy server support the operable-ephemeral data capability, the client sends to the proxy server a retrieving or modifying operation message; and the proxy server receives the operation message and performs a corresponding operation on the data of an ephemeral data set according to the operation message.

Provided are a method and apparatus for configuring a terminal capability set. In the above-mentioned method, a ControLling mUltiple streams for tElepresence (CLUE) encoding parameter is configured in a terminal capability set, and the terminal capability set is transmitted. According to the technical solution provided in the technical solution, new demands of a telepresence system can be met, and a telepresence product can be supported.

Described herein are techniques, devices, and systems for handling Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages with malformed header fields. A communication device that receives a SIP message from an additional communication device may identify one or more identified header fields of a plurality of first header fields in a message header of the SIP message that correspond to (e.g., match) one or more second header fields in a list of second header fields accessible to the communication device. If the communication device determines that the one or more identified header fields are not malformed, the communication device may process the SIP message without regard to remaining header fields in the message header. If, however, the communication device determines that at least one identified header field of the one or more identified header fields is malformed, the communication device may reject the SIP message.
