Provided is a convertible software application management system for a shared data-access layer in a distributed structure system linked to a database for customizable data processing at least in the transportation, home healthcare, hotel, e-commerce, delivery, and other goods and/or service industries. Provided is a dispatching service provider (DSP) application for dispatching objects of service companies to provide an efficient mobile app to promote a cooperative relationship between a DSP and service companies using white label apps and a streamlined/efficient dispatching system. Customers only need to download or utilize a single mobile app to access service providers from a plurality of service companies, white label companies, and/or a DSP, all using the same dispatch software. This increases the likelihood of a customer to find suitable service providers for his/her needs and allows service entities to reach additional customers and maintain their brands without the need for a plurality of mobile applications.

An in-vehicle control system for communicating data between at least one of an office control system and a residential control system including a transceiver configured to be in communication with the office control system and the residential control system. The in-vehicle control system further including a memory device in communication with the transceiver. The memory device is configured to store a data file transmitted and/or received from the office control system and the residential control system.

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 access 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.

Disclosed is a method and system for a single broadband portal where all content may be delivered to users of varied electronic devices. An example embodiment (i) provides a user interface for enabling user selection of media contents per varied electronic devices, each varied electronic device having a respective platform, the user interface indicating one or more different possible media contents; (ii) accepts from a user requests for distribution service to any of the varied electronic devices of the user, the requests specifying a user desired media content; (ii) locates the user desired media content from a plurality of storage modules; (iv) transmits the user desired media content to at least one of the varied electronic devices of the user; and (v) tracks the transmission of the user desired media content for billing purposes.

A second service component-oriented information entity sent by a first service component is sent to a second service component that processes the information entity, so that interaction between the service components based on the information entity is realized, and the association between the service components is also realized. A service component in an operating system can execute a specific function or provide a specific service. The function or service can be provided by the system or an application program. The information entity can transmitted among multiple service components to perform a function or service.

The disclosure provides a method and system for implementing inter-process communications. The method includes sending, by a first application, a first message to a forwarding application according to a first preset inter-process communication mode. The first message includes transmission data and identification information of a second application; obtaining, by the forwarding application, the second application in response to the first message; and sending, by the forwarding application, the transmission data to the second application according to a second preset inter-process communication mode of the second application.

A method for managing data communication of a mobile device in a mobile network is provided. The method may include receiving a request, at a cloud proxy, to retrieve Internet data from the Internet. The request may originate from an application, and the Internet data may have a plurality unique objects. The method may also include aggregating the Internet data and two or more of the unique objects from the Internet. Furthermore, the method may include forwarding the Internet data and the two or more unique objects to the mobile device in one transmission.

An overlay content distribution network provides a consistent interface to enable the storage and retrieval of digital content at multiple storage providers (210). An allocator component (140) instantiates and destroys location and/or provider specific agent processes (240) which transfer digital content to and from the storage providers (210). Encoding agent processes (250) are geographically located near the storage providers (210) at which the content is to be stored. Content may be stored in a manner which guarantees content availability, each storage provider (210) being periodically probed by a Quality of Service (QoS) probes distributed within the network.
