A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions executable by a processor of a communication apparatus configured to communicate with a function executing device. The communication apparatus includes a communication device and a database. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the communication apparatus to execute: a determination processing in which the communication apparatus determines whether there is a device list in the database at an initial start of the communication apparatus, the device list being a list of at least one function executing device; a search processing in which the communication apparatus searches for the function executing device communicable with the communication apparatus when the communication apparatus determines in the determination processing that there is not the device list in the database; and a creation processing in which the communication apparatus creates the device list based on a result of the search processing.

Instructions in a non-transitory storage medium cause a communication apparatus to execute a display processing for displaying an information display screen that displays information relating to at least one of function executing devices. In the display processing, the communication apparatus: displays a group list and a device list on the information display screen; when one group in the displayed group list is selected, switches a display of the device list to display at least one function executing device belonging to the selected group without displaying at least one function executing device not belonging to the selected group; and when at least one function executing device being on the device list is selected, displays information relating to the selected function executing device, on an information region in the information display screen with a group-list region for displaying the group list and a device-list region for displaying the device list.

Systems and methods for providing a marketplace-like presentation system include a system provider device that receives, through communication over a network with a user device, a request to create a marketplace-like presentation system account. The system provider device may then provide a means for parsing and extracting information (e.g., in the form of an inbox parsing and extractor engine) from email marketing offers in a user webmail account, wherein the means for parsing and extracting interfaces a webmail provider including the user webmail account and a user interface (UI) application, and wherein the means for parsing and extracting extracts information from the email marketing offers. Thereafter, the system provider device may present a marketplace-like interface view displayed via the UI application, wherein the marketplace-like interface view includes at least one listing having the extracted offer information.

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for generating a graphical user interface configured to display, at least in part, a schedule. According to one aspect, the system can receive selectable fields of a client and selectable fields one or more providers from a plurality of providers. The system can determine the quality of pairings between the client and each of the one or more providers based on the one or more selectable fields of the client and the one or more selectable fields of the one or more providers. The system can generate a schedule of potential sessions based on the pairings. The system can score each of the potential sessions and display the schedule and scores to a user.

System, device, method, and computer program and computer program products for providing communicating between devices having similar or dissimilar characteristics and facilitating seamless interoperability between them. Computer program software and methods of and systems and devices for sharing of content, applications, resources and control across similar and dissimilar permanently or intermittently connected electronic devices. Devices, systems, appliances, and the like communicating and/or interoperating within the framework provided. A social synchronization interoperability method, such as a Dart Social Synchronization method provides an efficient and easy to administrate method for synchronizing specific sets of data and/or operations across any number of devices and protocols without the need for every device to contact a master device, or for any device to act as a master. Social synchronization of devices and content provides an advantageous alternative to mastered synchronization techniques.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing reliable switching between different transport protocols (e.g., TCP and UDP) are presented herein. In some embodiments, a computing platform may stop transmission over a transport protocol. Subsequently, the computing platform may synchronize buffers between a client and a host. For example, the buffer may include acknowledgments for undelivered reliable packets between the client and the host. Next, the computing platform may resume transmission over a different transport protocol. In some embodiments, when establishing an initial connection between a client and a host, connections may be attempted in parallel over multiple transport protocols. After a connection over a first transport protocol is established, if a connection is later established over a second transport protocol, the connection may be transitioned to the second transport protocol. Also, ticketing semantics may be preserved in the switch between the different transport protocols.

The present disclosure provides a message transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: a virtual machine control center (VMC) establishing a link of a message transmission between the VMC and a client side, herein, the client side is used to link and operate a virtual machine; the VMC performing the message transmission with the client side according to the established link.

Embodiments are direct to monitoring communication between computers may be using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Network packets that are communicated between the computers may be captured and stored in a data store. If the NMCs identify a secure communication session established between two computers, the NMCs may obtain key information that corresponds to the secure communication session that includes a session key that may be provided by a key provider. Correlation information associated with the secure communication session may be captured by the NMCs. The correlation information may include tuple information associated with the secure communication session. And, the key information and the correlation information may be stored in a key escrow. The key information may be indexed in the key escrow using the correlation information.

A system for securely and reliably transferring startup script files over a network may include a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) network stack on a client server wherein the client server requests startup script over the network upon startup of the client server using a secure transfer network protocol and receives over the network the startup script. A computing device may comprise a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) shell to request a download of startup script, over a network, upon startup of the client server wherein the startup script is staged in a provisioned storage device within the client server to be mounted as local file systems in the client server. The UEFI shell.
