Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate generally to allocation of content resources in a voice activated packet-based computer network. A request for a digital component, by a client computing device, can be fulfilled by multiple content sources. Fulfillment by the different content sources can consume different amounts of computational and network resources. The selection of the best content provider can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of data packet transmission over one or more computer networks.

The invention relates to method and devices of enabling determination of overall Quality of Service (QoS) of at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an aspect of the invention, a method of a network node (10a) is provided of enabling determining of an overall QoS of at least one IoT device. The method comprises transmitting (S101), to a device connectivity middleware (DCM) node (14), an identifier of said at least one IoT device (11a) for which a QoS measure is to be acquired, receiving (S102), from the DCM node (14), a network profile of the IoT device (11a) associated with said identifier, transmitting (S103), to a Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF, 15), a request for the QoS measure of the IoT device (11a) for the received network profile, the SCEF (15) acquiring the QoS measure from a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) function (16), receiving (S106), from the SCEF, the requested QoS measure of the IoT device (11a), transmitting (S107), to a Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LWM2M) device (13), a request for availability information for said at least one IoT device (10a), and receiving (S108), from the LWM2M device (13), the requested availability information, wherein the received QoS measure and the availability information is taken into account for determining the overall QoS of said at least one IoT device (11a).

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for Internet of Things (IoT) community services. In use, a platform of an IoT network is provided to a plurality of IoT devices of the IoT network, where the platform has one or more services accessible to the plurality of IoT devices. Further, the platform executes the one or more services to enhance functionality of the plurality of IoT devices.

A peer container filesystem is provided. The peer container filesystem allows peer nodes to share containers. The peer container filesystem allows the images or portions thereof to be shared without a container registry. A node send requests to the network that are configured to push or distribute an image in the network, search for an image in the network, download an image in the network, and perform updates amongst the peer nodes such that the locations of images and/or their files are known to at least some of the peers in the network.

Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to implementing a distribution scenario in a system. In particular, implementations of the current subject matter provide for a designating client device to create a group of distributing client devices for events among and with a plurality of second client devices. Implementations of the current subject matter further relate to automatic assignment of items among the group of distributing client devices, the assignment based on designating client device-established constraints, and to providing an aggregate view of information related to the automatic assignment of the items to allow the designating client device to manage the items.

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for identity-based exposure detection in peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. The present invention is configured to receive, from a computing device of a P2P platform, an indication that a user has initiated a P2P resource transfer request to a first entity; retrieve, from a computing device of the P2P platform, resource transfer information of the first entity based on at least the P2P resource transfer request; initiate a database query on a P2P knowledge repository using the resource transfer information of the first entity; determine a match between the resource transfer information of the first entity and at least one entity record in the P2P knowledge repository based on at least initiating the database query; and transmit a notification to the computing device of the P2P platform indicating that the first entity is known to be associated with misappropriate activity.

In an example embodiment, a solution is used to provide for a highly efficient image dispatch system for container-based in-memory databases in a database-as-a-service framework that provides storage and bandwidth cost savings and introduces advanced features of container techniques. This solution makes best use of the advantages of the concurrent and distributed capabilities of in-memory databases in a database-as-a-service framework. A container operator manager provides operators for various uses, such as the “diff” operator and the “merge” operator. A dispatch manager acts as a centralized service for diff content maintenance, patch publication and management of dispatch worker nodes. A patch worker on each node has the capabilities to execute the specified patching and validation between the images located on each side of the in-memory database in the database-as-a-service framework.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for live previewing of streaming video in the cloud are disclosed. A portion of a video stream is received at a cloud-based media streaming system via a network. The media streaming system generates a video preview of the portion of the video stream. The media streaming system sends the video preview to a client device via a peer-to-peer connection before an additional portion of the video stream is received by the media streaming system. The video preview is displayed on the client device.

A system, method, and computer readable medium for managing service mesh for container instances. The method includes generating a service mesh that includes a plurality of computing resources. The method further includes obtaining, from an instantiated computing resource, a request to associate the computing resource with another computing resource in the service mesh, where the request comprising a set of constraints that allows the other computing resource to be identified. Based on the set of constraints, the computing resources in the service mesh are connected in which the computing resources communicate with each other through a dedicated proxy.

A content management system for collecting files from one or more submitters in a collection folder. A collector, who generates the collection folder, can invite one or more submitters to submit one or more files to the collection folder. Facial recognition is applied to the submitted files. The one or more submitters have limited rights to the collection folder. The limited rights can include uploading rights and prohibiting a submitter from viewing files that other submitters associated with the collection folder submitted. Thus, the collection folder is able to store files from the one or more submitters, but prevent them from viewing other's submissions.
