  • Patent number: 10433161
    Abstract: In the context of facilitating a circuit switched to packet switched handover of a call in a cellular communication system, a first node (e.g., packet switched target node) generates a security context for a client whose call is being handed over. This involves the first node receiving at least one cryptographic key from a second node (e.g., a circuit switched node supporting the existing connection) and receiving identities of security algorithms supported by the client from a third node (e.g., a packet switched node supporting the existing connection); The first node uses the at least one cryptographic key and the identities to generate the security context for the client.

  • Patent number: 10097596
    Abstract: A client may, for example, initiate presentation of the content item in a hybrid stream mode in which both a client stream and a content provider stream are combined to form a resulting hybrid stream for presentation. The client may then, at some point during presentation of the content item, detect that the content provider stream has become unavailable. In response to such a determination, the client may continue to present the content item in a client stream mode, in which the client stream is used for presentation of the content item without use of the content provider stream.

  • Patent number: 10079730
    Abstract: A network-based discovery system and service are disclosed that provide client discovery services to a number of clients over a network. The network-based discovery system includes a database that stores discovery information of client network-based resource configurations. The discovery information may be obtained from client resources by client-side discovery components that are placed on client resources, obtain the discovery information and that send the information to the discovery system. The discovery system analyzes the discovery information to determine the client network-based resource configurations and generates client network-based resource configuration representations for the respective clients. The client network-based resource configuration representation may include a description of, and dependencies among, a plurality of computer-based resources.

  • Patent number: 10075520
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a metric collection system may collect application metrics across multiple data centers in specific time intervals. A local collection point 108 may establish an absolute reference time for a local data center 102. The local collection point 108 may determine a source reporting interval for an application 106 based on the absolute reference time. The local collection point 108 may receive a source metric report 300 for the application 106 based on the source reporting interval.

  • Patent number: 10069632
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the remote signing of images created at a signing client. An image can be output from a signing client to a remote signing server, and the signing server can identify, from information carried by the image, one or more signatures needed by the image and/or encoding algorithm(s) to be applied to the image. The signing server can encode the image using the requested encoding algorithm(s) and/or can add requested signature(s) to the image, and the signing server can output the signed image to one or more designated targets.

  • Patent number: 10051069
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to assessing characteristics of a message and a message recipient. A trust model is established to take into account a set of trust antecedents, including characteristics of the messages and properties of the recipients, a set of action motivations, and their contribution to the action-based trust measurement. The assessment(s) is utilized to produce a tangible trust measurement that is employed to gauge the recipient's perception of credibility towards the received message.

  • Patent number: 9967163
    Abstract: This server for distributing messages quickly detects a performance decline in a downstream server by using a method for keeping, for each distribution-destination server, a threshold such as a connection number and a time interval separate from a response timeout, and determining that performance has declined when the threshold is exceeded. In addition, the present invention improves system availability by identifying a server group in which performance has declined on the basis of a correlation pertaining to inter-server cooperative processing, when a distribution server exhibits a decline in performance, and by the distribution server distributing a message to a server not exhibiting a decline in performance.

  • Patent number: 9965646
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure illustrates a sensitive data discrimination method executed in a data loss prevention system to determine whether a file has the least one sensitive data during a file generation proceeding. Steps of the sensitive data discrimination method are illustrated as follows. Multiple characters inputted via a keyboard are recorded. The recorded characters are trimmed to generate a trimmed data. The trimmed data and at least one predefined term related to the at least one sensitive data are compared, to determine whether the trimmed data has the at least one sensitive data.
