  • Patent number: 11949677
    Abstract: A resource server system granting to users access to a resource based on the very fact that the users' computing systems can demonstrate that they heard an audio signal. Specifically, the resource server system detects receipt of a message from a client computing system, and interprets the message as representing that the client computing system heard an audio signal. In response, the resource server system grants a user of the client computing system access to the resource. This may be performed for multiple client computing systems that each demonstrate that they heard the audio signal. Thus, the principles described herein allow for the granting of access to resources to other computing systems within the audible proximity of a computing system that transmitted the audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20240078033
    Abstract: The memory sub-systems of the present disclosure selects, for memory scans, a memory block which has a highest page fill ratio. In one embodiment, the memory sub-system identifies a number of block stripes located on a logical unit (LU) identified by a logical unit number (LUN), where the LU is one of a plurality of LUs of a memory device. The sub-system determines a fill ratio for each of the plurality of block stripes. The sub-system selects, among the block stripes, a block stripe with a highest fill ratio. The sub-system identifies, from the selected block stripe, a memory block of the LU. The sub-system performs a memory scan operation on the memory block of the memory device.

  • Publication number: 20230351271
    Abstract: A recommended workspace at a premises is determined for a user of a software platform requesting a workspace reservation based on learned preferences specific to the user. The workspace reservation request is initiated via an interaction by the user with one or more graphical user interfaces displaying information associated with workspaces at the premises. Scores for each of multiple candidate workspaces identified for the user from amongst available ones of the workspaces are determined based on weights defined according to learned personnel preferences of the user and learned workspace preferences of the user. A recommended workspace is determined for the user as a candidate workspace of the multiple candidate workspaces corresponding to a highest one of the scores. An indication of the recommended workspace is then output for display within the one or more graphical user interfaces in response to the workspace reservation request.

  • Patent number: 11316867
    Abstract: A transmitting computing system's use of an audio signal to grant users of receiving computing systems access to a resource. These other receiving systems are in close proximity to the transmitting system so that they hear the audio signal on their microphones. Upon receiving the audio signal, a given receiving system sends a message representing that received audio signal to a resource server system that regulates access to that resource. The transmitting system and resource server system may have coordinated that the ability to send such a message is sufficient for access to be granted to the sender of that message. The resource server system thus determines that the message correlates to the resource, and thereby grants the user of the receiving system access to the resource. Thus, the principles described herein allow for an actual audio signal to efficiently grant resource access to other proximate users.

  • Patent number: 10796709
    Abstract: A computing device is provided that may include a sound processing device configured to output sound output frames via a sound output device and capture sound input frames via a sound input device. The computing device further includes a processor configured to render a stream of sound output frames based on at least sound output data received from a remote computing device over a computer network, provide reference frames for each of the sound output frames to a reference frame buffer of an acoustic echo cancellation module. The processor may be further configured to detect a sound output frame rendering stall condition, and based on detecting the sound output frame rendering stall condition, suppress the acoustic echo cancellation module and send the stream of sound input frames to the remote computing device without being processed by the acoustic echo cancellation module.
