    Abstract: One or more methods and/or techniques for media queuing are provided herein. A user, of a client device, may search for a media item (e.g., a movie, video, and/or TV show). The media item may be provided by one or more content providers (e.g., businesses that provide media items in one or more formats, such as for rental, purchase, download, pickup, etc.). Responsive to the media item being of interest to the user, one or more media queuing options may be presented to the user. The media queuing options may correspond to one or more formats and/or one or more content providers (e.g., rental from a first content provider; purchase from a second content provider; etc). Responsive to the user invoking a media queuing option, the media item may be queued for consumption by the user.

    Abstract: The present teaching relates to continuing a user session of an application from one device to another device. Information related to a first user session of a first application installed on a first device is received. The first user session information may indicate content and content presentation provided via the first application. A request, based on a pre-defined URL, for the first session information is received from a second device. Responsive to the request, the information related to the first user session is provided to the second device so that a second user session of a second application at the second device provides the same content in the same presentation as in the first user session. The first and second user sessions both may be associated with a same specific user identity, and the first and second applications have at least one common function.

    Abstract: Complex devices, software systems, and/or networks may comprise one or more subsystems that perform periodic tasks. A first task may be assigned a first execution frequency and a second task may be assigned a second execution frequency that is not an alias of the first execution frequency (e.g., assignment of execution intervals that are non-overlapping harmonics of each other, such as non-repeating frequencies). A first resource utilization by the first task may be distinguished from a second resource utilization of the second task based upon the first resource utilization corresponding to resource utilization (e.g., network usage, processor usage, power consumption, user access, etc.) associated with the first execution frequency and the second resource utilization corresponding to resource utilization associated with the second execution frequency. Thus, resource utilization of individual tasks of various subsystems and/or networks may be determined.

    Abstract translation: 复杂设备,软件系统和/或网络可以包括执行周期性任务的一个或多个子系统。 可以为第一任务分配第一执行频率,并且可以向第二任务分配不是第一执行频率的别名的第二执行频率(例如,分配彼此不重叠的谐波的执行间隔,例如 非重复频率)。 基于与资源利用相关联的资源利用(例如,网络使用,处理器使用,功耗,用户访问等)的第一资源利用,第一任务的第一资源利用可以与第二任务的第二资源利用区分开 对应于与第二执行频率相关联的资源利用的第一执行频率和第二资源利用。 因此,可以确定各个子系统和/或网络的各个任务的资源利用。

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improving the performance of computer systems and/or platforms programmed to work in concert with messaging systems for mail triaging. Disclosed are computer systems and methods for enabling a sender of a message to classify a message addressed to the recipient's inbox prior to sending the message based on triaging settings set by the recipient. Message triaging can include applying a recipient created flag to the message, categorizing the message according to a category preset by the recipient and/or instructing the message to be delivered to a specific folder(s) in the recipient's inbox based on folder instructions set by the recipient. The message sender is capable of classifying the message according to classifications the recipient has designated, whereby upon delivery of the message, the message is delivered and displayed in the recipient's inbox according to the recipient's settings that were selected by the sender.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically deleting messages from a recipient's inbox. The disclosed systems and methods provide the ability for automatic actions to be taken on delivered messages based on a passage of time. This enables a sender of messages, email service provider and/or email platform to exert control over sent messages to limit the number and type of operations that may be performed on such messages. For example, operations such as saving, forwarding, printing, copying, or otherwise duplicating the message and/or message data can be prohibited and all together rendered impossible. The disclosed systems and methods enables the purging of messages and associated message data from a recipient's inbox at a certain specified time, after the passage of a pre-determined amount of time, or upon the detection of a specified event.

    Abstract: When a server receives a request for an information payload from a remote device, the server may determine the device's type and identify an optionally-installable application that can be used to access the information payload on devices of that type. When the optionally-installable application is not installed on the remote device, the server may store a identifier for the remote device and send the device a redirection message via which the device can obtain and install the application. Subsequently, when the server receives an installation indication from the application executing on a remote device, the server may identify the device as having recently been redirected to install the application and store or update a record indicating that an application-installation event occurred.

    Abstract translation: 当服务器从远程设备接收到对信息有效载荷的请求时,服务器可以确定设备的类型并识别可选择地安装的应用程序,该应用程序可用于访问该类型设备上的信息有效载荷。 当远程设备上未安装可选安装的应用程序时,服务器可以存储远程设备的标识符,并向设备发送重定向消息,设备可以通过该重定向消息获取并安装应用程序。 随后,当服务器从在远程设备上执行的应用程序接收到安装指示时,服务器可以将设备识别为最近被重定向以安装应用,并且存储或更新指示应用程序安装事件发生的记录。
