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 translation: 本教导涉及将应用的用户会话从一个设备继续到另一个设备。 接收与安装在第一设备上的第一应用的第一用户会话有关的信息。 第一用户会话信息可以指示经由第一应用提供的内容和内容呈现。 从第二设备接收针对第一会话信息的基于预定义URL的请求。 响应于该请求，将与第一用户会话相关的信息提供给第二设备，使得第二设备处的第二应用的第二用户会话在与第一用户会话中相同的呈现中提供相同的内容。 第一和第二用户会话可以与相同的特定用户身份相关联，并且第一和第二应用具有至少一个共同的功能。

Abstract: Images are optimized to reduce latency prior to being transmitted to requesting client devices. A request from a client device for an image is analyzed to obtain the attributes of the requesting client device and the network used by the client device for transmitting the request. The parameters of the image to be transmitted are determined based on the attributes in order to reduce data latency at the requesting client device. A requested image that meets the parameters or which has its parameters preset by a provider can be transmitted without any changes. A requested image that does not meet the parameters is transformed in accordance with the parameters so that it is optimized for the combination of the network and the requesting client device.

Abstract translation: 图像被优化以在传送到请求客户端设备之前减少延迟。 分析来自用于图像的客户端设备的请求，以获得请求客户端设备和由客户端设备用于发送请求的网络的属性。 基于属性确定要发送的图像的参数，以便减少请求客户端设备处的数据延迟。 可以传输满足参数或由其提供参数预设的参数的请求图像，无需任何更改。 不符合参数的请求图像根据参数进行变换，以便针对网络和请求客户端设备的组合进行优化。

Abstract: The present teaching relates to creating and updating a user profile related to multiple devices, and synchronizing applications' sessions for the user on different devices. Upon execution of a first application on a first device, a first device ID associated with the first device and information about the first application are received. A user profile is created based on the first device ID and the information about the first application. Upon execution of a second application on a second device related to the first device, a second device ID associated with the second device and information about the second application are received. The user profile is updated based on the second device ID and the information about the second application. Further, the information about the first application is applied to the execution of the second application on the second device, or vice-versa.

Abstract: Automated centralized access to and management of content items stored on a plurality of content sources is provided. A content services module receives information regarding content sources which comprise third-party cloud storage servers and a user's personal computing devices in addition to receiving the user's access tokens for secured content sources. The content services modules act as a proxy for the user to the content sources and enables the user to execute various tasks across the content items stored in the various content sources via the interface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data synchronization between a client computing device's local store and another data store, such as a data store that is remote to the client computing device. The other data store may comprise a cloud data store. The existence, or absence, of a causal relationship between the local and remote data stores for a given data item is used to determine whether or not a conflict exists and/or whether a requested operation may be performed. The causal relationship may be determined using a previous commit's hash value, referred to as a hash_base value, and a hash value, both of which are associated with the data item.
