Patent number: 11989095Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for preserving clone relationships between files at a computing device. In particular, the techniques involve identifying clone relationships between files in conjunction with performing operations on the files where it can be beneficial to preserve the clone relationships. The operations can include, for example, preserving clone relationships between files that are being copied from a source storage device (that supports file cloning) to a destination storage device that supports file cloning. Additionally, the operations can include preserving clone relationships when backing up and restoring files between a source storage device (that supports file cloning) and a destination storage device that does not support file cloning. In this manner, the various benefits afforded by the clone relationships between files can be retained even as the files are propagated to destination storage devices that may or may not support file cloning.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Pavel Cisler, Christopher A. Wolf, Loic E. Vandereyken, Eric A. Weiss

Patent number: 11954706Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an online platform for out of home advertising. The online platform may allow various advertisers to search for advertising panels (e.g., digital billboards), select available time periods for an advertising panel, upload an advertisement (“ad”), and have the ad displayed on the advertising panel. An advertiser can search for advertising panels using one or more search parameters (e.g., geographical location and demography of target audience). The online platform may also allow advertising panel owners to publish their advertising panels, manage availability, and approve or reject ads for display. The online platform may generate reports relating to the advertising panels.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: ADOMNI INC.Inventors: Jonathan Gudai, Jonathan Fine, Robert Stockham, Christopher Weiss, Eric Medlin

Patent number: 11449389Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for performing incremental backups of a source file system volume (FSV) managed by a source computing device. According to some embodiments, the source computing device can be configured to generate a current snapshot of the source FSV, where the current snapshot complements a previous snapshot of the source FSV (e.g., established during a previous backup). In some cases, to free up storage space, the data for files belonging to the source FSV can be stripped from the previous snapshot (where metadata for the files remains intact). Next, the source computing device can generate, within a destination storage device, a second snapshot of a destination FSV (that corresponds to the source FSV). In turn, the source computing device identifies changes made to the source FSV based on the current snapshot and the previous snapshot, and reflects the changes within the second snapshot of the destination FSV.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Pavel Cisler, Pavel Sokolov, Dominic B.
