International Classification:

H04N 7/173

US Classification:

725107, 379 101

Abstract:

Various embodiments facilitate the management of receiving device health. One embodiment provides a receiving device health manager that identifies receiving devices having degraded operational states, based on operational state data received from those receiving devices. The receiving device health manager may further determine and initiate corrective actions with respect to the identified receiving devices, based on information about customers associated with the receiving devices and/or about the receiving devices themselves. In one embodiment, a corrective action may include a customer service contact to schedule a receiving device repair visit by a technician. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

US Classification:

707634, 707622, 707698, 707609, 707747, 707821, 717168, 717116, 717170, 717173

Abstract:

Concepts and technologies are described herein for hash-based file comparison. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a comparison tool is configured to compare hash values in a first hash list associated with a first file to hash values in a second hash list corresponding to a second file. The hash values are computed for functional blocks of the respective files and therefore can be compared to indicate if the functional blocks of the two files match one another. If the hash values match, the functional blocks associated with the respective hash values can be determined to match, while hash values that do not match can indicate that the corresponding functional blocks do not match one another.

US Classification:

726 16

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating application forensics. In least one implementation, the identity of a user associated with an attempt to access an application program that resides in a development environment is determined. Information is generated with which to encode the identity of the user in a various views of the application program rendered in a runtime environment. A reply to the attempt is communicated that includes the information and at least a portion of the application program.
