  • Patent number: 11438393
    Abstract: An address rotation system detects a trigger to initiate rotation of location information of an origin server that provides content to be served by a content delivery service. In response to the trigger, the address rotation system identifies an active networking route of the content delivery service and obtains, from the route, an assigned first name of the origin server and a first network address in a name service. The address rotation system replaces the first network address with a second network address and updates the name service to resolve a second name to the second network address. The address rotation system updates the content delivery service with the second name to allow the content delivery service to use the second name to obtain the second network address and access the origin server.

  • Patent number: 11169725
    Abstract: To reduce the time, cost, and computational resources associated with writing to and reading from a non-volatile memory device multiple times, log data is stored in volatile memory of a computing device. The host device includes a file system that receives the log data from an application when the application sends an instruction to write the log data to the file system. Once the log data is stored in volatile memory, device data indicative of the rate at which log data is received by and transmitted from the computing device, and an amount of unused memory or other computational resources of the computing device, may be used to determine which services are permitted to access the log data, and whether to provide access to all of the log data or only a portion of the log data based on a sampling rate.

  • Patent number: 10909382
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for using rules to perform a set of actions on video data when conditions are satisfied by the video data. The system receives rules to select a theme, portions of the video data and/or a type of output. For example, based on annotation data associated with the video data, the system may apply rules to select one or more themes, with each of theme associated with a portion of the video data. In some examples, the system may apply rules to determine the portion of the video data associated with the theme. The system may apply rules to generate various types of output data associated with each of the selected themes, the types of output data may include a video summarization, individual video clips, individual video frames, a photo album including video frames selected from the video data or the like.

  • Patent number: 10481929
    Abstract: A distributed execution environment can provide access to field-programmable device resources. The field-programmable device resources can be provided in association with one or more instances that are instantiated within the distributed execution environment upon request from a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a customer of the distributed execution environment. The customer can program the field-programmable device resources using designs created by or for the customer.

  • Patent number: 10154228
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for smoothing rendering data (e.g., panning data and/or magnification data) prior to rendering a video clip. The rendering data may be recorded using a first sampling rate and the system may determine Bézier points using a second sampling rate. The Bézier points may be aligned with the rendering data and may be used to generate smoothed rendering data. The smoothed rendering data may be used to render a video clip that may be displayed to a user. If the user inputs additional rendering data during playback of the video clip, the system may generate second smoothed rendering data. For example, the system may record additional rendering data for a second half of the video clip and generate second smoothed rendering data, including a first half of the first smoothed rendering data, based on the additional rendering data.

  • Patent number: 9934823
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for improving a display of panoramic video data by including an angle indicator as a visual representation of a direction of a displayed portion of the panoramic video data relative to a reference location. For example, the angle indicator may illustrate an angle of the displayed portion of the video data relative to a front of the video capture device, using 360 degrees, and the user of the device may specify a desired angle and/or desired portion of the video data to display. In addition, the device may generate video tags including angle information based on the user input. For example, the device may determine the desired angle and/or desired portion of the video data to display and may generate a video tag associating the angle with a timestamp and/or video frame.

  • Patent number: 9824723
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for improving a display of panoramic video data by including a first angle indicator, as a visual representation of a direction of a displayed portion of the panoramic video data relative to a reference location, along with a second angle indicator indicating an object of interest. The second angle indicator may display a fixed angle or a recommended angle to improve navigation within the panoramic video data. The fixed angle may be determined by the user or the device and may remain stationary during playback of the panoramic video data, allowing the user to switch between directional views without panning. The recommended angle may be determined based on a location of a tracked object, allowing the user to display the tracked object without panning. The second angle indicator may be represented by an icon illustrating the object of interest.

  • Patent number: 9704250
    Abstract: A plurality of depth planes corresponding to a scene within a field of view of a camera of a computing device can be computed based on stereographic techniques, infrared transceivers, ultrasonic transceivers, among other approaches. The depth planes can be utilized to independently meter subject matter of interest (e.g., person, object, region, etc.) corresponding to each depth plane to obtain image statistics for each depth plane. The image statistics can be analyzed to determine optimal settings (e.g., focus, exposure, white balance, etc.) for each depth plane, and a camera can be configured to acquire image data according to the optimal settings for one or more of the depth planes. Further, the image statistics can be leveraged for processing portions of the image data that are not optimized during capture. Thus, a final image can reflect optimizations for multiple subject matter of interest located at various distances from a computing device.
