The techniques described herein may be used to provide a user with access to distinct applications (with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication) based on a single set of user credentials from the user. A server may receive user credentials from a user device. The server may authenticate the user of the user device by communicating with an LDAP server. After the user has been authenticated, the server may detect a request from the user device to access a first application with LDAP authentication. The server may create temporary credentials for the user, provide the temporary credentials to the application, receive an authentication request (that includes the temporary credentials) from the application, and authenticate the user based on a local copy of the temporary credentials. If/when the user requests access to a second application, the server may authenticate the user for the second application in a similar manner.

System and method for applications to share single sign on through lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) integration

The method and system for SMS/MMS messaging to a connected device may be realized as a system comprising at least one server module. The at least one server module may be adapted to receive from a connected device an outbound messaging message through a packet-based network. The at least one server module may also be adapted to send the outbound messaging message to an external messaging network. The connected device may be communicatively coupled to the packet-based network. The outbound messaging message may be associated with a user account. The user account may be associated with a telephone number.

Method and system for SMS/MMS messaging to a connected device

A user device presents, to a user, media content provided from multiple providers and logs the presented media content from the multiple providers. The user device indicates, based on the multiple providers, proportions of the presented media content from the multiple providers during a particular reporting period and determines whether particular presented media content, of the presented media content from the particular reporting period, was available for presentation from another of the multiple providers. The user device generates a report, for the user, that indicates if the presented media content could have been consolidated among fewer of the multiple providers.

Cross-platform reporting user interface

A method may include receiving an order associated with processing a media file, generating a work order associated with fulfilling the order and identifying tasks associated with the work order. The method may also include accessing information identifying previously processed orders and determining whether at least one stored asset associated with one of the previously processed orders is usable when processing the first order. The method may further include retrieving, when a first one of the stored assets is usable, the first stored asset, and using the first stored asset when processing the work order.

Work order optimization

A system may create work units, each work unit including at least one of an input port or output port, each work unit configured to modify data that is received via the input port. In addition, the system may compose a workflow by connecting an output port of a first of the work units to an input port of a second of the work units, receive a work order, select the workflow in response to the work order, decompose the workflow into constituent work units, instantiate tasks that correspond to the constituent work units, and execute a work unit process for each of the tasks.

Work units for content processing

A system generate a workflow identifier, create a workflow that includes a first work unit, assign the workflow identifier to the workflow, update the workflow by adding a second work unit to the workflow, receive a work order to process the workflow, decompose the workflow into constituent work units in response to the work order, instantiate tasks that correspond to the constituent work units, and execute a work unit process for each of the tasks.

Workflows and presets for workflows

A method including receiving a work flow for the ingestion, transformation, and distribution of content, wherein the work flow includes one or more work unit tasks; selecting one of the one or more work unit tasks for execution when resources are available; retrieving work unit task information that includes a work unit definition that specifies which of the one or more other work unit tasks are capable of being at least one of an input to the one of the one or more work unit tasks or an output for the one of the one or more work unit tasks, and work unit task connector parameters that specify a type of input content and a type of output content; and executing the one of the one or more work unit tasks based on a translated work unit task information.

Work flow command processing system

A system may create a workflow that includes work units, assign values to parameters of the work units, create a specification that associates the work units and the parameter values, generate a work order associated with the stock keeping unit specification, convert the specification into the work units based on the work order, instantiate tasks that correspond to the work units, and execute the tasks by one or more processors.

Stock keeping units for content processing

A method may include receiving an order associated with processing a media file and generating a workflow associated with fulfilling the order. The method may also include identifying tasks associated with the workflow and generating an estimate associated with executing the tasks. The method may further include allocating resources associated with executing the tasks and scheduling execution of the order.

Resource manager

A method including receiving a work flow for the ingestion, transformation, and distribution of content, wherein the work flow includes one or more work unit tasks; retrieving work unit task information pertaining to the one or more work unit tasks; identifying one or more network elements to execute one of the one or more work unit tasks based on the work unit task information; translating the work unit task information from a format used by one or more devices to another format that is used by the one or more network elements based on one of an object adapter pattern or a class adapter pattern; and send the translated work unit task information to the one or more network elements.

Work unit adapter for content processing with third party network elements

A method may include receiving an order associated with processing a media file and generating a workflow associated with fulfilling the order. The method may also include identifying a number of tasks associated with the workflow and generating an estimate associated with executing the tasks. The generating an estimate may include identifying a resource type associated with the media file and the order, and identifying at least one of capacity and time requirements associated with executing the tasks.
