Abstract:

A cache server includes a media serving engine that is capable of distributing media content. A cache engine is coupled to the media serving engine and capable of caching media content. A set of cache policies is accessible by the cache engine to define the operation of the cache engine. The cache server can be configured to operate as either a cache server or an origin server. The cache server also includes a data communication interface coupled to the cache engine and the media serving engine to allow the cache engine to receive media content across a network and to allow the media serving engine to distribute media content across the network. The cache policies include policies for distributing media content from the media server, policies for handling cache misses, and policies for prefetching media content.

US Classification:

710106, 709227, 455 413

Abstract:

Pairing service technologies is described. In embodiment(s), peripheral devices can be discovered, such as by a computer device, and a peripheral device can be configured with multiple services that each correspond to one or more data communication protocols. The multiple services of the peripheral device can be determined, and a pairing sequence can be prioritized for the multiple services. The data communication protocol(s) can then be paired according to the pairing sequence to configure the multiple services of the peripheral device.

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/224000

Abstract:

An electronic network is monitored by a plurality of diagnostic tools. When a first diagnostic tool determines that a portion of the electronic network is not operating within a preselected specification, at least one other diagnostic tool is instructed to analyze that portion of the network. The data generated by the diagnostic tools is correlated to better determine the cause of the network not operating within the preselected specification, which is then presented to a network user.

International Classification:

G06F 12/14

US Classification:

711118000

Abstract:

Improved caching control for streaming media includes one or more cache control directives associated with streaming media content that can be used by a source of the streaming media content to identify how caching proxy servers are to handle the streaming media content. Upon receipt of the streaming media content, the caching proxy servers handle the content as indicated by the cache control directive(s).

US Classification:

709227

Abstract:

A framework for users to connect to wireless devices, regardless of the underlying wireless technology. The framework has a modular structure, including discovery handlers, pairing handlers, and pairing ceremony modules. Discovery and pairing handlers are specific to each wireless technology, enabling discovery of wireless devices, and connection to the device. Pairing ceremony modules are technology independent, and may be invoked by any pairing handler, regardless of the wireless technology employed by a device. The framework provides an aggregation of wireless technologies into a common user interface, improving the user's experience and expanding possibilities for use of wireless technologies.
