Systems and methods for a device portal management system that stores discovery data for multiple computing devices are described. The device portal management system may store first discovery data for a first computing device and second discovery data from a second computing device. A user associated with the first computing device and the second computing device may access the discovery data via the device portal management system. The user may further configure the first computing device and the second computing device via the device portal management system.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for prioritized usage of central devices for supporting peripheral devices. Central devices may be present in the surrounding area of a peripheral device. Priorities of the central devices for supporting the peripheral device may be determined based on one or more factors associated with the central devices. The manner in which the central devices are used to support the peripheral device may be determined based on the priorities. The prioritized usage of central devices for the peripheral device may be dynamically updated.

Methods for prioritizing usage of central devices for locating peripheral devices

Methods and systems for managing data and/or operations on data are disclosed. A method can comprise receiving content from a first storage medium for playback. The received content can comprise a stored first portion of a transport stream. At least a portion of the received content can be caused to playback. A playback position of the at least a portion of the received content can be determined relative to a live position of the transport stream. If the determined playback position of the at least a portion of the received content is outside a predetermined threshold proximity to the live position, a second portion of the transport stream can be stored to the first storage medium. If the determined playback position of the received content is within the predetermined threshold proximity to the live position, the second portion of the transport stream can be stored to a second storage medium.

Methods and systems for managing data and/or operations on data such as content are disclosed. A method can comprise transmitting content to facilitate playback of the content. A trick play operation relating to the transmitted content can be detected. A threshold bandwidth can be determined based on normal playback of the content. A frame rate of the transmitted content can be adjusted during the trick play operation such that a bandwidth of the trick play operation is less than or equal to the determined threshold bandwidth.

A system for communicating resource information may include a resource reservation proxy module to receive a first signal including resource request information. The resource reservation proxy module may be associated with a first environment associated with a requesting application. The resource reservation proxy module may process the received resource request information into a resource request packet, and communicate the resource request packet utilizing an environmentally independent communication protocol. A resource reservation handler module may receive the communicated resource request packet. The resource reservation handler module may be associated with a second environment associated with a resource management application. The resource reservation handler module may process the received resource request packet into a second signal including the resource request information.
