A computer-implemented method and a media acquisition system (MAS) for accessing media from attendees of an event are provided. The MAS receives registration and event details from an organizer of the event and generates an online portal with media request elements. The MAS generates a shareable link to the online portal in multiple formats for rendering the shareable link to the attendees. The MAS displays the online portal on electronic devices of the attendees that access the online portal through the shareable link in one of the formats. The MAS acquires media from the electronic devices of the attendees agreeing to share the media with the organizer through a live media capture or an access of stored media. The MAS analyzes the acquired media according to organizer preferences and shares a selection of the analyzed media on preselected social media platforms on receiving a corresponding request from the organizer.

A communication apparatus includes an imaging unit, a recording unit, a control unit, and a communication unit. The control unit controls the imaging unit to generate first moving image data. In starting transmission of the first moving image data currently being generated by the imaging unit to an external apparatus, the control unit controls the communication unit to automatically transmit second moving image data different from the first moving image data, before starting the transmission of the first moving image data, where second moving image data is recorded in the recording unit.

Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.

There is disclosed in one example a hardware computing platform, including: a processor; a memory; a network interface; and a security module, including instructions to cause the processor to: receive a request to download a file via the network interface; download a first portion of the file into a buffer of the memory; analyze the first portion for malware characteristics; assign a security classification to the file according to the analysis of the first portion; and act on the security classification.

A method and system for uploading a media file container from a first device to a second device are described herein, including receiving an instruction to upload the media file container and in response, reading a metadata box of the media file container to locate a track box containing information about audio data, including a size and a location of the audio data, in a media data box of the media file container, identifying the audio data in the media data box using the information from the track box, packaging the identified audio data from the media data box into an audio byte stream separate from the media data box, and uploading the audio byte stream to the second device prior to completing upload of the media file container.

Systems and methods configured to execute branching automation schemes in a collaboration environment are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: manage environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment; manage automation records of the collaboration environment, the automation records defining trigger events, branching criteria, and sets of automated actions to carry out in the collaboration environment in response to occurrence of the trigger events and satisfaction of individual ones of the branching criteria; responsive to the detection of the occurrence of individual trigger events and the satisfaction of the individual ones of the branching criteria, effectuate individual ones of the sets of automated actions within the collaboration environment, and/or perform other operations.

A method, a device and a system for pushing a file are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes: splitting a data file to be pushed into multiple sub-files; uploading the multiple sub-files in parallel to a file storage node; and adding a push task corresponding to the multiple sub-files into a coordinator node. When it is detected that the push task is added into the coordinator node, a slave push node downloads the multiple sub-files in parallel from the file storage node, merges the multiple downloaded sub-files, and pushes a data file obtained by the merging to a destination node upon receipt of a scheduling instruction from the master push node. The solutions shorten the time taken to upload the data file and the time taken to download the data file, and improve the push efficiency.

Some embodiments include systems and methods for establishing incident communications networks. The system can include an incident controller, a communications resource database that stores communications resources information, and a marshalling rules module that stores a set of marshalling rules. The incident controller can use a marshalling rule to identify and select the communications resources to be marshaled into the incident communications network based on an incident trigger. Upon receipt of an incident trigger, the incident controller is configured to establish the incident communications network by obtaining a marshalling rule based on the incident trigger. The incident controller marshals communications resources based on the marshalling rule and the communications resources determined to be available. Information sources can either provide an incident trigger (e.g., a hurricane warning) or provide data to be analyzed to determine an incident trigger. In some embodiments, an incident communications network includes one or more mobile interoperability workstation.

Embodiments include an apparatus for an adaptive dynamic wireless aerial mesh network having aerial nodes that provides real-time persistent wide area communications service to provide communications in response to an incident. Typically, the service area is a wide area that is physically inaccessible via ground transportation. In addition, embodiments include the formation of a decentralized mesh supernetwork comprising two or more dynamic wireless aerial mesh networks. A member of a first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network may send a request to a member of a second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network for the first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network to join the second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network to form a mesh supernetwork, and receive an acceptance from the member of the second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network.
