  • Patent number: 11470050
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for web activity concealment. A system can include a memory storing instructions that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The system can be communicatively coupled to a network. The operations can include detecting a network message that is directed to a target source, where the network message is generated by a client application of a machine-to-machine device. The operations can include identifying, based on the network message, a client action that is associated with the client application. The operations can include counterpoising the client action by generating a supplemental action command. The operations can include providing the supplemental action command to the machine-to-machine device.

  • Patent number: 11463521
    Abstract: To address concerns with administration of zones in storage area network (SAN) environments, presented are embodiments of a “zone group,” including systems and methods for configuring, implementing, and managing such. While zone group embodiments may comprise one or more zones, unlike traditional zone sets, a zone group includes additional features. For example, a zone group includes an “Owner” and also allows for multiple zone groups to be active on a fabric at one time. By adding the concept of an owner to a zone group, changes made by a user or entity impact the zone group to which the owner has rights to access or modify. Also, by allowing multiple zone groups to be active at the same time, embodiments enable multiple administrators or entities to make unrelated modifications to connectivity and dramatically reduce the impact of unintentional changes. Additional features and benefits are described herein.

  • Patent number: 11457090
    Abstract: In an example, a proxy server includes a proxy callback interface supporting a plurality of webhook channels, each channel of the plurality of webhook channels being identified by a respective webhook channel address. The proxy callback interface receives a webhook call, the webhook call including a specific webhook channel address identifying a specific webhook channel, and payload callback data. The proxy server also includes a database interface to store a callback record that includes the payload callback data in a proxy server database. The proxy server also includes a query interface to receive a callback query, the callback query identifying the specific webhook channel address. The query interface further identifies a plurality of callback records, associated with the specific webhook channel address, that were stored within the proxy server database subsequent to receipt of a previously-received callback query, and returns the plurality of callback records, responsive to the callback query.

  • Patent number: 11418569
    Abstract: An image display system with one or more client computers in selective communication with a visual server having image processing capabilities. The client computer generates image-modifying data corresponding to a generated image, and transmits the data to the visual server. The visual server receives the image-modifying data, generates a modified image based upon the image-modifying data, and transmits the modified image as compressed data to the client. The client decompresses the modified image data and displays the modified image. In the system, the visual server and client can provide a sequential display of modified frames on client to support animation with complex 3-dimensional graphics.
