Patent number: 11757792Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of a service provider network to create and configure “application profiles” that include parameters related to execution of user workloads at provider substrate extensions. Once an application profile is created, users can request the deployment of user workloads to provider substrate extensions by requesting instance launches based on a defined application profile. The service provider network can then automate the launch and placement of the user's workload at one or more provider substrate extensions using edge-optimized compute instances (e.g., compute instances tailored for execution within provider substrate extension environments).Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Diwakar Gupta, Georgios Elissaios, Ishwardutt Parulkar, Upendra Bhalchandra Shevade

Patent number: 11757898Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for parental controls based on the location of a wireless computing device. Wireless access points may be located in different locations, e.g., in different rooms of a home. The location of the wireless computing device may be determined based on comparing measured signal strengths to baseline signal strengths associated with the location. Information related to an access level associated with the location may be determined. The access level may, for example, permit access to content in a first location, but prevent access to the content in a second location. Content may be provided to the wireless computing device based on the access level associated with the location.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Brian James, Bridget Brennan, Steven Leardi

Patent number: 11748310Abstract: Techniques are provided for dependency aware parallel splitting of operations. For example, a first operation and a second operation may be replicated in parallel from a first device to a second device if the operations only target a single common inode that is an access control list inode referenced by the operations. An operation that dereferences the access control list inode can be replicated in parallel with other operations if the operation does not have the potential to delete the access control list inode from the second device. In another example, operations may be replicated to the second device in parallel if the operations only affect a single common parent directory inode and where timestamps are only moved forward in time at the second device.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventor: Krishna Murthy Chandraiah setty Narasingarayanapeta

Patent number: 11743205Abstract: A method for communicating in real-time to users of a provider of Internet access service, without requiring any installation or set-up by the user, that utilizes the unique identification information automatically provided by the user during communications for identifying the user to provide a fixed identifier which is then communicated to a redirecting device. Messages may then be selectively transmitted to the user. The system is normally transparent to the user, with no modification of its content along the path. Content then may be modified or replaced along the path to the user. For the purposes of establishing a reliable delivery of bulletin messages from providers to their users, the system forces the delivery of specially-composed World Wide Web browser pages to the user, although it is not limited to that type of data.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: PERFTECH, INC.Inventors: Henry M.

Patent number: 11716368Abstract: A method of multicasting real-time video is described. The method begins by establishing a multicast network of machines capable of ingress, forwarding and broadcasting traffic, together with a mapping infrastructure. The multicast network preferably comprises a portion of an overlay network, such as a content delivery network (CDN). A video stream is published to the multicast network by (a) using the mapping infrastructure to find an ingress node in the multicast network, and then receiving the video stream from a publisher at the ingress node. One or more subscribers then subscribe to the video stream. In particular, and for subscriber, this subscription is carried out by (a) using the mapping infrastructure to find an egress node for the requesting client, and then delivering the video stream to the subscriber from the egress node. Preferably, the publisher and each subscriber use WebRTC to publish or consume the video stream, and video stream is consumed in a videoconference.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles E.
