Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a software defined network publish-subscribe system and method. The software defined network publish-subscribe system comprises a controller, an administrator controller, a sequencing subsystem and a message multi-backup cache subsystem. The controller is configured to process publish-subscribe transactions in clusters, and comprises sequencing nodes used for generating ordered serial numbers for messages and cache nodes for caching the messages. The administrator controller is configured to simultaneously perform functions of the controller and manage software-defined network. The sequencing subsystem is configured to realize the cooperative sequencing between the administrator controller and the sequencing nodes. The message multi-backup cache subsystem is configured to realize the consistency of the messages through the administrator controller and the cache nodes. Through the interaction of various modules, the consensus of various subscribers on the messages and the message serial numbers is realized on the software defined network publish-subscribe system.

Enhanced graphical user interfaces for transcription of audio and video messages is disclosed. Audio data may be transcribed, and the transcription may include emphasized words and/or punctuation corresponding to emphasis of user speech. Additionally, the transcription may be translated into a second language. A message spoken by a user depicted in one or more images of video data may also be transcribed and provided to one or more devices.

A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium are provided for maximizing consumption of broadcasts by a producer. An example method includes receiving selection of a total number of time slots to use for scheduling broadcasts, and receiving information regarding the producer's followers. The example method further 5 includes identifying, by a processor and based on the received information, discount factors associated with the producer's followers, and calculating, by the processor and based on the received information, a predicted number of competitor broadcasts during each time slot of the total number of time slots. Finally, the example method includes determining, by the processor and based on the discount factors and the predicted 10 number of competitor broadcasts during each time slot, a number of broadcasts for the producer to transmit in each time slot of the total number of time slots.

A Byzantine fault-tolerant distributed computing system of nodes configured to process client requests, executes a leader-based total order broadcast (LBTOB) protocol. The computing system concurrently executes multiple instances of the LBTOB protocol at the nodes, on respective disjoint partitions of the client requests, and the disjoint partitions are assigned to the instances using a deterministic function of a state of the system. The computing system multiplexes outputs of the executing instances in an ordered log of the client requests, and the ordered log is maintained at each of the nodes.

A server or an on-premises computing node accesses a message and a destination tag indicating one or more client devices participating in a conference to receive the message. The server or the on-premises computing node determines a configuration for the message based on a source of the message. The server or the on-premises computing node transmits the message to the one or more client devices indicated in the destination tag to configure the one or more client devices to display the message according to the configuration within a display region associated with the conference.

A scheduling method includes controlling, by a terminal, a scheduling speed of broadcast scheduling events when a first preset condition is met. The first preset condition includes that a quantity of broadcast scheduling events in a preset time window is greater than or equal to a first preset value. The broadcast scheduling event is distributing a broadcast to a receiver. The receiver includes at least one of software, a component, or a program.

A multicast broadcast service controller is disclosed. The MBSC processes multicast broadcast data streams for transmission to access service network gateways or base stations. The MBSC includes a MBSC core processor for establishing time synchronization information used by the access service network gateways or base stations to synchronously transmit data streams. The MBSC core processor selects streams for transmission in a time diversity interval (TDI) and builds multicast broadcast (MBS) region content based on the selected streams and configuration information. The MBS region content includes timing synchronization information, resource information and MBS region content location information. A MBS region distribution module (MRD) transmits the MBS region content to the access service network gateways or base stations.

Each of the plurality of stations connected to the access point can be profiled to determine device type, and determine a listen interval for each of the plurality of stations based on the device prioritization model based on DTIM periods of the plurality of stations. Delivery of multicast packets is prioritized from the enterprise network destined for a low power device multicast group on the Wi-Fi network and to prioritize delivery of unicast packets for low power device multicast group. The messages are transmitted to the stations over the Wi-Fi network according to the assigned listen interval.

A system that allows for channel and platform agnostic automated scheduling. A user that is registered with the system may add an automated assistant into a pre-existing communication thread or channel, such as a short messaging service (“SMS”) conversation between multiple friends. Any user in the thread may interact with the assistant even if not registered with the system. Once present, the assistant analyzes messages sent to the thread for wake words that trigger actions or responses by the system, including automated scheduling actions. When scheduling is invoked, the system will find acceptable times based on top-down and bottom-up availability provided by registered users, and will propose meeting times until one is accepted by some or all of the participants. Once accepted, the system will confirm the meeting, update linked calendars, and provide reminders to attendees.

The information processing device comprises: a broadcast mail determination means which determines a broadcast mail among received electronic mails; a broadcast mail reception predicted time limit setting means which, when the previously received electronic mail is determined as the broadcast mail, sets a predicted time limit for receiving a broadcast mail on the basis of the difference between the reception time of the previously received electronic mail and the reception time of the electronic mail determined as the broadcast mail; and a broadcast mail reception standby end determination means which determines whether to end reception standby of the broadcast mail on the basis of the predicted time limit for receiving the broadcast mail, which is set by the broadcast mail reception predicted time limit setting means.
