Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for enhancement to an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS). According to an embodiment, an application server (AS) of the IMS receives from a terminal device a first request for initiating a call service and an internet service which are to be integrated with each other. The AS of the IMS sends a second request for initiating the internet service to a gateway server that acts as a gateway to an internet AS capable of providing the internet service. In response to a reply from the gateway server, the AS of the IMS handles the first request based on the reply.

According to some embodiments, methods and systems may include a data storage device that contains user identifiers and associated entitlement values for a plurality of tenants of a cloud computing environment. A provisioning application platform processor may receive a user request for an integration service and access the data storage device. The provisioning application platform processor may then transmit at least one entitlement value to a platform resource manager processor to facilitate creation of a plurality of microservices resulting in implementation of the integration service for the user.

An intelligent gateway device provided at a premise (home or business) for providing and managing application services associated with use and support of a plurality of digital endpoint devices associated with the premises. The device includes a communications and processing infrastructure integrated with a peer and presence messaging based communications protocol for enabling communications between the device and an external support network and between the device and connected digital endpoint devices. A services framework at the gateway device implements the communications and processing infrastructure for enabling service management, service configuration, and authentication of user of services at the intelligent gateway. The framework provides a storage and execution environment for supporting and executing received service logic modules relating to use, management, and support of the digital endpoint devices. Thus, the gateway device provides a network-based services point of presence for a plurality of digital endpoint devices at the premises.

Described herein are systems and methods for application health based network traffic routing in a geographically distributed cloud service. The domain name system (DNS) resolver can receive, from a service executing on one or more servers hosting a resource, a performance score of the resource. The performance score can be computed from a plurality of metrics determined from a performance monitoring service executing on the one or more servers in communication with the resource. The plurality of metrics can include a first set of performance metrics based on simulated client requests and a second set of performance metrics based on an application's own performance factors. The DNS resolver can receive, from a client, a request to resolve a DNS request. The DNS resolver can transmit, by the DNS resolver, a response to the request identifying the one or more servers selected based on the performance score of the resource.

This disclosure relates to a distributed data center that includes resources carried by a fleet of vehicles. The system includes sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicles. The system may detect vehicle events based on the information conveyed by the output signals. The system includes a remote computing server configured to present a user interface to a user. Through the user interface, the user may query information from one or more vehicles in the fleet. The distributed query is transmitted to individual vehicles, and results are locally processed in accordance with response constraints and subsequently transmitted back to the remote computing server for presentation to the user.

Prior to connecting to a gateway associated with an electronic health record system, a user device can check in with a server. The server can send configuration information useable by the user device for connecting to the gateway for downloading medical record data. The configuration information may include an update value that is useable by the user device to determine a time frame for contacting the gateway. In some examples, the user device determines when to contact the gateway without using the update value.
