  • Patent number: 11693844
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes processing deletion requests using sequencing numbers with change feed updates. When a deletion occurs on the source data store, a deletion notification is created in a change feed on the source server. The deletion notification includes a set of deletion record IDs identifying a set of records to be deleted, a tombstone sequence number (TSN) identifying a sequence of the deletion notification within a set of deletion notifications and/or a deletion sequence number (DSN). The DSN is incremented by one each time a new deletion notification is created. A deletion notification can represent deletion of a single record or a set of records. Each deletion notification is assigned a time-to-live (TTL) value. The deletion notification is deleted at expiration of the TTL. The TSN and the DSN entries are used to determine whether any deletion updates have been missed to prevent silent failures.

  • Patent number: 11520797
    Abstract: Leveraging time-based comments on communications recordings is described. A system determines a comment time for a communications recording associated with a database record. The system receives a comment for the communications recording and generates a comment thread which includes the comment. If a media player is displaying a player control that is associated with the communications recording, the system causes the comment time and the comment thread and/or a comment thread indicator to be displayed with the player control that is displayed by the media player. The system initiates generation of a feed item, which includes the comment and references the communications recording, thereby causing the output of the feed item via an information feed associated with the database record to any system user associated with the database record.

  • Patent number: 11113459
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for providing guidance in relation to the customization of web pages. An indication of user input in relation to a modification to a portion of a web page is processed, where the modification includes deletion of a user interface object from the web page, addition of a user interface object to the web page, or a change to a user interface object of the web page, and where the user interface object represents a data object field or web page component. At least the portion of the web page is analyzed using a plurality of web page customization rules. Feedback pertaining to customization of one or more web pages including the web page is provided for presentation by a client device, via a graphical user interface (GUI), based at least in part on a result of analyzing the portion of the web page using the web page customization rules.

  • Patent number: 10979496
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of servers, a control plane to determine a first partition of a plurality of devices and to determine a subset of the plurality of servers to assign as candidate servers for the first partition, and a common data store comprising a first stream and a second stream. The control plane is to store, in the first stream, a first message indicating the first partition, the candidate servers, the second stream, and a first message tag, the candidate servers elect a primary server of the first partition from the candidate servers using the first stream, and the elected primary server inserts read and write updates associated with the plurality of devices of the first partition into the second stream.

  • Patent number: 10666724
    Abstract: Multiple geo-replicated and independent IoT (Internet of Things) hubs configured as servers with storage capacities are utilized and span across various regions in the world, to each of which IoT devices can connect and transmit telemetry data. The IoT devices, configured with sensors to generate telemetry data (e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), can fail over to another geo-replicated IoT hub (the “target geo-replicated IoT hub”) when one IoT hub experiences technical failures or the IoT device changes location to a region which is covered by the target IoT hub. Upon receiving a connection request from the IoT device, the target geo-replicated IoT hub submits a proposal to available geo-replicated IoT hubs for ownership over the IoT device, that is, receive data from and transmit messages to the IoT device. A quorum is sought so that all IoT hubs are in agreement as to a current owner of the IoT device.

  • Publication number: 20160104067
    Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, apparatus, methods and storage media for providing customized recommendations to users. Some implementations more particularly relate to a recommendation platform that enables authorized third parties to create, customize and add new recommendations that are then available to be served to target users or audiences of users. Some implementations further relate to a recommendation platform that enables authorized users to define audiences, scheduling settings, scheduling policies, and rules to customize or influence the provision of associated recommendations to the users. The recommendation platform includes a recommendation engine that serves the recommendations to users based on such defined audiences, scheduling settings, policies or other rules.
