Systems and methods of adopting data across different sites are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a data adoption system configures a first networked site to adopt data from one or more other networked sites, detects new data on the other networked site(s), with the new data being associated with a data item on the other networked site(s), determines that a record of the data item is being stored on the first networked site, and stores the new data from the other networked site(s) on the first networked site in association with the data item based on the detecting of the new data on the other networked site(s) and the determining that a record of the data item is being stored on the first networked site.

A computer-implemented method and computer processing system are provided. The method includes synchronizing, by a processor, respective ones of a plurality of data parallel workers with respect to an iterative process. The synchronizing step includes individually continuing, by the respective ones of the plurality of data parallel workers, from a current iteration to a subsequent iteration of the iterative process, responsive to a satisfaction of a predetermined condition thereby. The predetermined condition includes individually sending a per-receiver notification from each sending one of the plurality of data parallel workers to each receiving one of the plurality of data parallel workers, responsive to a sending of data there between. The predetermined condition further includes individually sending a per-receiver acknowledgement from the receiving one to the sending one, responsive to a consumption of the data thereby.

A media device and a method for setting a configuration of the same are disclosed. The media device comprises a communication unit connected to a portable terminal, and configured to receive setting information from the portable terminal. The setting information includes at least a portion of internal information of the portable terminal. The media device includes a configuration unit configured to set an initial setting of a configuration by using the received setting information. Here, the configuration unit sets a user account as one of the initial setting according to the received setting information, and the set user account is matched with personalized information or a personalized service provided for a user after the initial setting is completed.

Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for supporting a dynamically configurable communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things). More specifically, systems and methods for managing the scheduling and prioritizing of data in a network of moving things.

The present invention provides a method, a network device and a system for allowing for resuming a preceding incomplete synchronization session is provided, wherein the preceding incomplete synchronization session has been interrupted during its performing. In principle the resuming of the preceding incomplete synchronization session is based on the following operations according to the inventive concept. A communication connection for synchronization of data between a first and a second device is establishing. The first and the second device comprise each a predefined set of data records to be synchronized. A first and a second update identifier are communicated between the first and the second device. The first update identifier specifies a preceding complete synchronization session having been performed between them and the second update identifier specifies a preceding incomplete synchronization session having been performed between them. Synchronization related information is exchanged between the first and the second device. The herein exchanged synchronization related information comprises that part of synchronization related information which has not been exchanged during the preceding incomplete synchronization session. Data in the first device and the second device is synchronized in accordance with the exchanged synchronization related information. The contents of the first update identifier is updated with the contents of the second update identifier.

A programming communication synchronizer embodiment communicates a portion of a program to a receiving device during a first time period, communicates a corresponding portion of the program to a mobile device during a second time period, and coordinates the first time period with the second time period so that the portion of the program is deliverable to a presentation device coupleable to the receiving device at approximately the same time the corresponding portion of the program is deliverable to the mobile device.

An approach is provided for synchronizing a function among an embedded system and/or one or more devices. The approach involves causing, at least in part, an authentication of at least one user at an embedded system. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, an association of the at least one user with at least one cloud account associated with the embedded system. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a registration of one or more devices associated with the at least one user to the at least one cloud account. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a synchronization of at least one function, data associated with the at least one function, or a combination thereof among the at least one embedded system, the one or more devices, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the registration.

Disclosed are a method and a system for content management, the method comprises: a master control server allocates, for contents to be issued, one or more merged file blocks and a storage location of each content in its corresponding merged file block according to a received content issue request, and sends to a media storage-and-forward server a content download request containing one or more names of the one or more merged file block and the storage location of each content; the media storage-and-forward server downloads the content to be issued according to the content download request, and stores each downloaded content in the corresponding storage location of the corresponding merged file block. The solutions save the storage space of the file system, improve the storage efficiency of the file system, and reduce the storage cost of the file system.

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for performing dynamic topology switch in a failover operation. In one example, a failover of a first node is determined. The first node includes a first data server and a first replication server. At least one user application connects to the first data server prior to the failover of the first node. In response to the determined failover, the at least one user application is connected to a second data server of a second node. The second node includes the second data server and a second replication server. Prior to the failover of the first node, a data replication topology of the second node is a remote topology. During the failover, if the first replication server on the first node is down, the data replication topology of the second node is switched from the remote topology to a local topology.
