A method for reconfiguring a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of reconfigurable cross-connect nodes interconnected by links when a failure event occurs is disclosed. The method comprises storing at each node a precomputed configuration table corresponding to each of a plurality of possible network topologies which can result from a plurality of possible failure events. After a specific failure event occurs, the network is flooded with messages so that each of the nodes is informed as to the specific existing topology of the network resulting from the specific failure event. The nodes are then reconfigurated in accordance with the precomputed configuration tables which correspond to the specific existing network topology.

A data transmission technique referred to herein as Dynamic Time Division Multiplexing (DTDM) is disclosed along with a set of multiplexers and demultiplexers required to apply DTDM in an actual telecommunications network. The DTDM technique uses a transmission format which is compatible with the existing digital circuit transmission format and the packet transmission format so that DTDM is able to handle the transmission of circuit and packet traffic. Thus, DTDM provides a flexible migration strategy between present circuit networks and future broadband packet networks.

Techniques are provided for generating recommendations to improve the delivery of electronic content items over one or more networks. In one technique, multiple predictive functions are stored, each associated with a different objective and based on multiple features. Multiple feature values of a first content delivery campaign are identified. For each feature value of the multiple feature values, a second feature value that is different than said each feature value is identified and input into each predictive function of the multiple predictive functions to generate multiple outputs, each output corresponding to a different predictive function of the multiple predictive functions. The multiple outputs are combined to generate a predicted performance. Based on the predicted performance associated with each feature value of the multiple feature values, a particular feature is identified and presented on a screen of a computing device.

At a first device there is received from a second device (i) a native pixilated image and (ii) interactive filter data associated with the image. The filter data corresponds to an interactive filter applied to the image. A first representation of the image is displayed in accordance with the interactive filter data on the display. All or a first subset of the pixels of the image are obscured in the first representation. Responsive to user input, for a limited period of time, a second representation of the image is displayed in place of the first representation. None or a second subset of the pixels of the image is obscured in the second representation, where the second subset is less than the first subset. Then there is displayed on the display, after the limited period of time has elapsed, the first representation in place of the second representation.

A method at a first electronic device with a display and an input device includes: displaying a message input area along with a graphical input stream in a first application, where the graphical input stream includes a source of predefined graphical images and a source for a coded character set. The method includes detecting entry of one or more objects from the graphical input stream into the message input area and receiving a user input to transmit the contents of the message input area. In response to receiving the user input to transmit, and in accordance with a determination that the one or more objects includes a predefined graphical image, the method includes forming a merged message comprising the contents of the message input area, including the predefined graphical image, where a merged message is an image, and transmitting the merged message to a recipient or another application.

Systems and methods are provided for displaying a graphical input stream comprising a plurality of keys, a first subset of which is a character set source and a second subset of which provides a message effect source. A first user input from the character set source forms an original multi-word message that is displayed in a message area. A second user input from the message effect source applies a corresponding message effect to only the multi-word message thereby forming a transformed representation. The multi-word message displayed in the message area is replaced with the transformed representation. Upon receipt of a third user input to transmit the contents of the message area, the original multi-word message and an indication of the message effect is transmitted.

Disclosed are systems and methods for using a hands free computing device. The device includes a processor, a head movement measuring component, screen, camera, microphone, and memory. Responsive to sensing an instruction by a user, an image is captured by the camera and displayed on the screen. There is recorded, using the microphone, an audible catch phrase provided by the user for the image. The audible catch phrase is converted to text that is superimposed on the image thereby making a fused image. The user identifies one or more remote recipients of the fused image. The fused image is communicated, with the text phrase formatted for scrambled display, to the one or more remote recipients. The fused image is displayed on remote devices associated with such recipients with the text phrase scrambled.

Systems and methods are disclosed for, at a first electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, receiving a message from a second electronic device. The message comprises an original multi-word first text. A first representation of the original multi-word first text is displayed in accordance with a text effect in a messaging application. In response to a user input with respect to the first representation in the form of a tap gesture on the touch-sensitive display, the displayed first representation is transiently replaced with a display of the original multi-word first text for a predetermined time period. Without further user intervention, upon completion of the predetermined time period, display of the first representation is restored.
