A method for processing media data includes determining at least one target feature and determining corresponding effect relating to the at least one target feature. Media data is received from a sender. Once the at least one target feature is detected in the media data, the corresponding effect relating to the at least one target feature is applied to the media data.

A method for relaying advertising content may include intercepting, at a network providing communication between an end user device and one or more servers capable of responding to requests from the end user device, a request from the end user device and transmitted via the network, determining whether a response to the request will include advertizing content based on a destination of the request, intercepting the response based on the determination, modifying the response to modify source indicia of the advertizing content in a modified response, and enabling the modified response to be provided to the end user device to effectively relay the advertizing content from a different source.

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and network traffic management apparatuses that receive a request from a client device to access an application. The request comprises an original certificate. A determination is made when the certificate is valid. Data is extracted from one or more fields of the certificate, when the determining indicates that the user certificate is valid. A delegate certificate comprising the data and signed by a certificate authority trusted by a server device hosting the application is generated. The delegate certificate is sent to the server device. With this technology, network traffic management apparatuses can secure SSL connections using PFS-capable ciphers, while also inspecting payload data in network traffic exchanged between client and server devices in order to provide intelligent services in the network.

A radar level gauge comprising a physical communication interface bi-directional communication of data structured according to either a first digital communication protocol or a second digital communication protocol, first communication circuitry for communicating measurement data from the field device, second communication circuitry for enabling configuration of the field device, protocol identification circuitry connected to the communication interface for intercepting data and configured to parse intercepted data to identify the digital communication protocol, and control circuitry for directing the intercepted data to one of the first and second communication circuitries based on the identified protocol.

A machine implemented method and system, including: receiving at a near real-time processor module, one or more tenant-specific business objects from a message handler module; receiving at the near real-time processor module, contextual data related to the received one or more tenant-specific business objects from a platform analytics module; forming at the near real-time processor module, one or more events by applying one or more pre-defined analytic models to the received contextual data and the received one or more tenant-specific business objects; receiving at a message publisher module, one or more events from the near real-time processor module; and transmitting the received one or more events to one or more subscribers for the one or more events.

A proxy framework communicatively connected to source systems and backend systems can intercept a call from a client device to a legacy backend system, interprets the call, and determines whether an account associated with the client device has migrated to an information exchange platform. If so, the proxy framework can direct the call to a native backend system that is native to the information exchange platform, instead of the legacy backend system. If not, the call is forwarded to the legacy backend system.

A system designed for increasing network communication speed for users, while lowering network congestion for content owners and ISPs. The system employs network elements including an acceleration server, clients, agents, and peers, where communication requests generated by applications are intercepted by the client on the same machine. The IP address of the server in the communication request is transmitted to the acceleration server, which provides a list of agents to use for this IP address. The communication request is sent to the agents. One or more of the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously seen some or all of the content which is the response to this request (after checking whether this data is still valid). The client then downloads the data from these peers in parts and in parallel, thereby speeding up the Web transfer, releasing congestion from the Web by fetching the information from multiple sources, and relieving traffic from Web servers by offloading the data transfers from them to nearby peers.

Systems and methods are provided for managing data proxies. The systems and methods enable a proxy management system to store and manage data proxies that digitally represent real-world objects equipped with sensors. The data proxy of an object is made up of data sampled by the object's sensors and data estimated using the sampled data. The sampling rate at which the data is sampled can be optimized such that it conforms with target quality of data (QoD) requirements and/or target data acquisition costs. The QoD requirements can be based on requirements set by each of the applications associated with an object. The proxy management system can use the sampled data and estimated data to (1) ensure that incoming messages, if executed, would not have negative consequences; and (2) monitor objects to determine if and when they are expected to approach undesirable states, or if they have already reached such undesirable states.
