Appl. No.:

12/824173

Inventors:

Nick George Pope - Suwanee GA, US
Brian Alan Davis - Medford MA, US
Christopher Adam Maloney - Jamesburg NJ, US

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709203, 709225, 726 6

Abstract:

Systems and methods for providing state information and remote command execution using Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or any other protocol that provides for authentication, presence and messaging. A device may exist within a managed or unmanaged network and sign on to a managed network and provide presence information augmented with state information to provide near real-time state information to the managed network. The network may also discover remote command support in endpoint devices to command and control the devices remotely, while traversing unmanaged networks and components.

US Classification:

709220, 709248, 725152

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods for storing and synchronizing data using Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or any other protocol that provides for authentication, presence and messaging. One such method is performed in a digital media device, such as a set top. Device and user-configured settings associated with a digital media device may be saved to a network. The settings may be synchronized with other devices of a user, or used to configure a newly provisioned replacement digital media device. The settings may include pointers to network resources where content is stored such that content need not be transferred from an old or failed digital media device to the newly provisioned digital media device.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for collecting events and providing messages using Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or any other protocol that provides for authentication, presence and messaging. One such method is performed in a digital media device, such as a set top. A digital media device may collect events associated with usage and behavior and publish the information to a node. The node may communicate data to an aggregator and a harvester to reformat the data to make it available to analytics systems. In addition, the digital media device may subscribe to a node to receive notifications of messages having geographic or other relevance based on an identifier associated with the digital media device.
