  • Patent number: 11907614
    Abstract: Examples described herein involve expanding playback of a media item from a first playback device to a second playback device. In one example, while a first playback device is playing a media item as part of a first zone, the first playback device identifies that a second playback device has moved to a location that is within a given physical proximity of the first playback. The first playback device determines that playback is to be expanded to the second playback device, and transmits a command to cause the second playback device to (i) join the first zone and (ii) begin to play the media item in synchrony with the first playback device.

  • Patent number: 11889153
    Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a set of videos each of which is associated with an application of a set of applications and depicts a process performed using the application. For each video, the processor generates metadata associated with the depicted process, and stores the metadata within a collection of metadata in the memory. The processor receives a request for information from a user. In response, the processor identifies an application of the set of applications for use in generating a response to the request. The processor generates, based on the collection of metadata, instructions for interfacing with the first application to generate the response. The processor executes the instructions to interface with the first application to generate the response, and transmits the response to the user.

  • Patent number: 11888793
    Abstract: Systems, methods and products for intelligent delivery of communications, where a machine learning engine is trained to identify an output channel for delivery of a communication based on received context information and intended recipient information and to route the communication to the selected channel. An intelligent delivery task in a communication flow model is performed by the machine learning engine, which receives customer/recipient data such as age, region, gender, etc., and context data such as communication type, time of day, working hours, etc., and uses this data to determine which of a set of different channels is likely to be most effective for sending the communication to the recipient. A user therefore does not have to build a complex static communication flow, but simply adds an intelligent delivery task to the flow. The output channel is dynamically selected and may vary for different recipients and communications.

  • Patent number: 11881994
    Abstract: A computing system implementing an application service can determine, from a network dataset, that a network latency for a common network service provider crosses an upper latency threshold. Based on this determination, the system can determine a subset of the computing devices that utilize the common network service provider, and transmit a set of configuration signals to the subset of computing devices. The set of configuration signals can modify a set of default application configurations of a designated application to compensate for the network latency.

  • Patent number: 11848995
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method detects a state of a first session between a first workload and a second workload. The first workload and the second workload send packets in the first session via a first path to maintain a state of the first session. When the state of the first session indicates the first workload is down, the method receives information for network metrics of network traffic being sent in the first path. The method determines when the second workload should transition from a standby mode to an active mode to take over as an active workload in an active/standby configuration between the first workload and the second workload based on the information for the network metrics.
