A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both. The partition into slices may be overlapping or non-overlapping, and the same slice (or the whole content) may be fetched via multiple tunnel devices.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a data collection system capable of collecting various pieces of metadata other than sensing data and instrument information by existing communication protocols and associating the sensing data, the instrument information, and the metadata with each other without errors. A data collection system 301 is a data collection system that performs communication from a terminal 11 to a data collection unit 12 by one or a plurality of communication protocols, in which the terminal 11 includes a detection unit 11e other than a sensor device 11a that detects the sensing data and the instrument information, and stores metadata that is information detected by the detection unit 11e in an extended field specified by the communication protocols within a frame specified by the communication protocols for transmitting the sensing data or the instrument information, and the data collection unit 12 associates the sensing data, the instrument information, and the metadata with each other based on information for identifying the terminal 11 described in the frame.

A web site publisher may improve user interaction with landing pages from third-party publishers by displaying landing page content in a navigation window offering users the ability to interact with one or more landing pages in formats including: carousel, multiple panes, stacks, tabs, and tiles. Pages may be displayed in focus, below or behind the active display area, in full size windows, in reduced windows, and so forth. Landing page content may be loaded in advance of a user focusing on a specific page. The navigation window offers users the ability to store preferences, to refresh landing pages, to save searches, to search in one landing page, and/or to have results propagate to other landing pages.

A method for end point data communications anonymization for a local communications hub is provided. The method commences with receiving a first request addressed to a server from a computing device. The method further includes selecting a first remote communications hub from a plurality of remote communications hubs. The method continues with modifying the first request to generate a first modified request and sending the first modified request to the first remote communications hub. The first remote communications hub modifies the first modified request to produce a second modified request and forwards the second modified request to the server. The method further includes receiving a first response to the second modified request from the server, modifying the received first response to produce a first modified response, modifying the first modified response to produce a second modified response, and providing the second modified response to the computing device.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for orchestrating communications between different application services through a unified connector platform. Embodiments include receiving, via a connector between a first system and a connector platform, a request to pull a specified data set from one or more second systems. The specified data set is obtained from each of the one or more second systems via a connector between each of the one or more second systems and the connector platform. For each of the obtained data sets, intermediary data sets are generated by converting the obtained data set to a common data format, and a result data set is generated by converting the intermediary data sets are converted to a format associated with the first system. The result data set is transmitted to the first system via the connector between the first system and the connector platform.

Provided are computer-implemented methods and systems for publishing an application to a web container. An example method for publishing an application to a web container may include establishing a channel of communication with a user device associated with an end user. The method may further include embedding a web container into a web portal associated with a plurality of applications. The method may include executing an application in a user session associated with the end user. The method may further include capturing images of a virtual screen associated with the application executed on the application server. After the capture, the method may continue with sending the images to the web container of the web portal running in a web browser of the user device. The web container may publish the images to the web browser to display the application as part of the web portal in the web browser.
