Publication number: 20240126804Abstract: A method at a client device includes displaying media library information corresponding to a set of media items. The media items include one or more local media items, the one or more local media items including media items stored at the client device, and one or more remote media items, the one or more remote media items including media items stored at a remote system and not at the client device. The method also includes displaying, concurrently with displaying the media library information, affordances identifying the remote media items; detecting user interaction with an affordance identifying a respective remote media item; and in response to detecting the user interaction, initiating a process for downloading a copy of the respective remote media item to the client device for storage at the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Christopher John SANDERS, Thomas M. ALSINA, Imran CHAUDHRI, Patrice O. GAUTIER, Sean Boland KELLY, Timothy B. MARTIN, Lucas C. NEWMAN, Jeffrey L. ROBBIN, Andrew M. WADYCKI

Patent number: 8750137Abstract: A communication line is installed in a network by automating a design phase and a configuration phase for the service and by automating failure recovery in either of the phases. In the design phase, an optimal route for the communication line is found, and the network components are provisioned and assigned. If the assigned network components are not available or can not be validated, the components causing the failure are marked, and the design phase is retried without the marked components. After the design phase, the configuration phase begins. The circuit design is tested against actual network components. If the test is passed, the actual network is configured according to the circuit design and the circuit is activated. If there is a network component failure during the configuration phase, the good route elements in the design are released while the failed network components are marked. The design phase is retried.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Richard L. Wall, Gary L. Ryczek, James A. Loukatos, Alex J. Henes, Jeffrey L. Martin, Brett P. Hollman, Thomas G. Hoople, George T. Joseph, Troy Kau

Patent number: 8238252Abstract: A system for automated installation of a communication line using an optimal route between a source location and a destination location is disclosed. The system includes a routing engine providing an automated design process for rendering the optimal route. The routing engine utilizes a routing algorithm to select the optimal route from a graph of capacity links defining a plurality of possible routes between the source and destination locations. If, at any time during the design process, the optimal route or capacity links defining the optimal route are detected as unavailable for any reason, the routing engine re-initiates the design process and thereafter selects a new optimal route based upon a new capacity graph built without the previously unavailable capacity link. Once designed, the available optimal route is provided to a command and control engine, which, in turn, manages the installation of the communication line using the optimal route.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2009Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Brett P. Hollman, Jeffrey L. Martin, George T. Joseph, Alex J. Henes, Christopher M. Bonewitz, Kaveh Asalian, Geoff R. Yaworski, Gary L. Ryczek, Colin G. Train

Patent number: 8149714Abstract: A system for automated installation of a communication line using an optimal route between a source location and a destination location is disclosed. The system includes a routing module configured to provide an automated design process for rendering the optimal route. The routing module utilizes a routing algorithm to select the optimal route from a graph of capacity links defining a plurality of possible routes between the source and destination locations. If, at any time during the design process, the optimal route or capacity links defining the optimal route are detected as unavailable for any reason, the routing module re-initiates the design process and thereafter selects a new optimal route based upon a new capacity graph built without the previously unavailable capacity link. A command and control engine manages the process for assigning the optimal route in the provisioning system.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2006Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Brett P.
