  • Patent number: 11997150
    Abstract: Streaming of a media asset from a cloud server computer to a media playback device is disclosed. In an embodiment, a list of media assets stored in the cloud server computer is sent over network from the cloud server computer to a portable device. In another embodiment, the list is transferred via close-range communication to the portable device from the media playback device which received the list from the cloud server computer over network. In the embodiments, a media asset is started streaming over network from the cloud server computer to the media playback device responsive to selection of one of the listed media assets at the portable device. In some embodiments, streaming is redirected from the portable device to the media playback device responsive to a user's operation or in case of disconnection.

  • Patent number: 11989694
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects in a content management system. For example, the content management system can create a project folder (e.g., shared folder) for managing data associated with a project. The project folder can be shared with content management system users (e.g., project members) who are contributors to the project. The content management system can store project data (e.g., content items, communications, comments, tasks, etc.) related to the project in the project folder. When the project folder is selected by a user, the content management system can generate a project folder view that presents the project data associated with the project folder and/or project in a convenient and easy to access graphical user interface. The content management system can aggregate project data from various content items associated with the project and present the project data in a single graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 11985177
    Abstract: Systems, methods and products for providing a centralized view of media production devices connected to a network. An example method includes identifying a set of media production devices connected to a network and compiling a list of the identified devices. Network position information is then collected for the identified devices using resources including IS-04 device registries, LLDP tables, FDB tables and ARP tables. For each of the identified devices, a corresponding connection to the network is identified and corresponding network statistics are collected for each of the identified connections of the devices to the network, where the network statistics are correlated to the identified devices. A list of the identified devices is then stored in a searchable format with the corresponding network statistics, and particular ones of the devices may be highlighted to denote conditions indicated by the corresponding network statistics.

  • Patent number: 11979298
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device trains, using feedback from a reference cohort of users of an online application, a prediction model to predict a quality of experience metric for the online application based on network telemetry. The device uses the prediction model to predict quality of experience metrics for different cohorts of users of the online application. The device makes one or more comparisons between performance metrics for the prediction model for the different cohorts of users, based on the quality of experience metrics predicted for the different cohorts of users. The device retrains, based on the one or more comparisons, the prediction model using feedback from the reference cohort and a particular cohort from among the different cohorts of users.

  • Patent number: 11973811
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to automatically creating customized whiteboard backgrounds. A network system accesses metadata associated with a virtual presentation (e.g., title, topic, tenant identifier). First image data is identified based on first data of the metadata and second image data is identified based on second data of the metadata. Using the first image data and the second image data, the network system generates a plurality of whiteboard backgrounds by combining a first object obtained from the first image data with a second object obtained from the second image data to form each whiteboard background. The network system then causes presentation of a representation of each of the plurality of whiteboard backgrounds on a user interface of a host, who can select one of the representations. In response to receiving a selection, a whiteboard background corresponding to the selected representation is displayed as background on a whiteboard canvas.

  • Patent number: 11973839
    Abstract: A dynamically-managed microservices platform. The microservices platform is configured to selectively accept admission of microservices and to selectively throttle microservices based on a continually-trained machine learning model. The system is configured to implement multiple microservice lifecycle strategies, where individual ones of the multiple microservice lifecycle strategies use a prediction model having long-term and short term demand predictions. One or another of the multiple microservice lifecycle strategies are invoked at different times under different conditions. Under a first set of conditions, a prediction model is used to select a first strategy to admit or throttle a microservice based upon long-term or short-term demand predictions. Under a second set of conditions, the prediction model is used to select a different strategy to admit or throttle a microservice.

  • Patent number: 11930065
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to computer systems and methods that stream selected media content to a client device. Selection of particular content to stream to a device of a given user is performed based on parameters specified in advance by the given user. Selection is made from received content that is parsed, indexed, and stored in real-time in such a way as to allow for real-time monitoring and searching of the content according to the user-specified parameters. The user is alerted as to the discovery of the selected content and enabled to connect to a stream presenting the selected content. The selected content is presented within the stream beginning from a playback time corresponding to a moment that triggered the discovery of the selected content, even if the moment has passed, thus providing the user with a comprehensive presentation of the selected content.
