A method of operating a telemetry system includes automatically populating a base field of a schema in an event definition using a logging library of the telemetry system for an event of an instrumented application, and automatically populating a conditional field of the schema in the event definition using the logging library in response to a selected condition for the event.

Telemetry system extension

A method of operating a telemetry system includes automatically populating a first set of fields in a schema of an event definition using a logging library of the telemetry system, and receiving the set of fields via a request message in an application protocol.

Telemetry request system

A method of operating a telemetry system includes automatically populating a first set of fields in a schema of an event definition using a logging library of the telemetry system, and populating a second set of fields in the schema selected by an event author.

Telemetry definition system

Various embodiments relating to management of game data of a video game by a game service and service triggered delivery of game data to various subscribers are provided. In one embodiment, game data of a video game is received at a game service computing machine as the video game is being executed on a user gaming machine. A game statistic is generated by the game service computing machine based on the game data. The game statistic is sent to subscribers having a subscription to the game statistic.

Service-triggered game events

A system for transforming events from discrete events into aggregated values and statistics and for routing events and aggregated values to consuming clients and servers is provided. Events are described in a common syntax amongst different applications accessing the system. Events are routed between the transformation system and other clients and servers. Secondary application developers can provide new functionality using the event and statistic stream even after the primary application developer has already shipped to the consumer.

Application event distribution system

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for reverse replication to rollback corrupted files. When a computer system detects that a copy of a file includes inappropriate content, the computer system can coordinate with other computer systems (e.g., in replicated storage system) to determine that a viable (e.g., clean) copy of the file exists. The computer system can access the viable copy and replace the copy that includes the inappropriate content with the viable copy. As such, a computer system can 'reverse replicate' a file rather than break a synchronization relationship. Reverse replication can be used to rollback a copy of an infected file to another (possibly earlier) copy of the file that is not infected. Embodiments of the invention can be used to rollback data files, such as, for example, pictures, videos, documents, etc.

Reverse replication to rollback corrupted files

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for scanning files for inappropriate content during file synchronization. Embodiments of the invention are mindful of the order of operations when scanning files for inappropriate content and in subsequent file processing. In some embodiments, during synchronization, an intermediary server scans a file for inappropriate content. The file is not permitted to be fully downloaded to a client device until the scan determines that the file does not contain inappropriate content. In other embodiments, during synchronization, a client device scans a newer version of a file for inappropriate content. An older version of the file is not deleted until the scan determines that the newer version of the file does not contain inappropriate content. In further embodiments, server side scanning and client side scanning are both used to enhance capabilities for detecting inappropriate content.

Scanning files for inappropriate content during synchronization

Clients may subscribe to resources for the purpose of receiving notifications of changes in the resource (e.g., a file is added to a shared folder). Storing subscriptions within persistent storage provides data security in the event of a service failure, at the cost of high latency in accessing subscription data. An efficient method for tracking a resource is provided herein. A subscription service creates subscriptions and monitors resources for a client. Upon a subscribed resource change, a notification service stores a notification of the change into a queue associated with the client. Efficient resource tracking is achieved because notification and subscription data is stored in low latency soft memory. The notification service is configured to detect a failure in the notification service and/or subscription service. In the event a service fails, the client provides a recovery mechanism by resubscribing to resources with which the client has an interest.

A device hosting framework provides hosting for software-implemented logical devices (including peripheral devices bridges) on a computer to expose their services as controlled devices per a peer networking protocol. The device hosting framework encapsulates discovery, description and control protocol operations of the peer networking protocol, which frees the developers of the hosted devices from having to individually implement the peer networking protocol in the hosted devices' software and need implement only the core functionality of the hosted device. The device hosting framework operates as a host supporting device interoperability via the peer networking protocol for multiple hosted devices.

Peer networking host framework and hosting API

The invention makes possible remote control of devices in a piconet by remote users communicating over the Internet and the like by providing a proxy-bridge device. The proxy-bridge device is a bridge for sending packets to and from between an external device and a device in the piconet. Moreover, the proxy-bridge device also serves as a proxy for the external device to devices in the piconet and as a proxy for devices in the piconet accessing an external device. The proxy-bridge wireless device's protocol stack allows communications with the piconet devices within the piconet. In addition, the protocol stack allows an application to communicate with a remote device e.g., via the Internet Protocol. Thus, the proxy-bridge device, using two protocols, enables remote users discover the presence of a service offered by a device in a piconet as a logical embedded device within the proxy-bridge device and vice-versa.
