Patent number: 11429268Abstract: A computing device and method for providing a user interface for summarizing and presenting information regarding dynamic provisioning and deployment of media processing resources, in a manner that is easy and intuitive and analogizes well to conventional physical media processing deployment. Users are not required to understand hypervisor configuration or virtual machine deployment, or switch through various layers and screens to find configuration information or controls, a process that may be particularly slow, complex, and difficult to learn, particularly for media and broadcast engineers unfamiliar with virtualization technologies. Instead, the present user interface improves efficiency of use of the computing environment for media processing, by providing deployment information in a format similar to physical processing deployment.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: GRASS VALLEY CANADAInventor: Ian David Fletcher

Patent number: 11355035Abstract: Certain embodiments involve generating a real-time notification to facilitate the delivery of customized content, based on detecting that a subject activity occurs within a customized subject region. For instance, a computing system updates a graphical interface to display, as a layer on a map, detected instances of a subject activity performed within a geographic area of the map. The computing system determines a polygon corresponding to a region of the geographic area, where the polygon is determined from a graphical input representing lines at locations on the map on which the detected instances are overlaid. The computing system determines that a location of a detected instance of the subject activity performed by a user device falls within the polygon. The computing system transmits a notification to a content provider, such that the content provider delivers customized content to the user device that performed the detected instance of the subject activity.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Charles Menguy, Navin Chaganti, Aditya Satishrao Borde
