Patent number: 11662880Abstract: Users can switch between applications using contextual interface elements. These elements can include icons for applications determined to likely be accessed by the user for a current context. Information is gathered to determine the current context, then information such as patterns of historical usage are utilized to determine and rank the applications by likelihood of use. Different contexts can include different icons, and a given context can include different icons for different points in time or locations. A user can access a contextual interface element by performing a swipe motion, for example. The user can continue the motion to an area associated with an icon of interest, and perform an action such as a tap or release to cause the associated application to be launched. Such an approach enables a user to quickly and easily launch another application independent of the application currently active on the device.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Levon Dolbakian, Arnaud Marie Froment, Gy Stuart Fullmer, Sean Thomas Congden, Brett Nathan Lynnes, Nadim Awad, Kenneth Paul Kiraly

Patent number: 11665090Abstract: A control plane server of a packet processing service assigns a first node group comprising exception-path nodes of the service to a network interface of a first application. Nodes of the assigned node group provide packet rewriting rules used by fast-path nodes of the service to direct requests of the application. In response to detecting that a workload migration criterion has been met, the control plane server initiates a migration workflow of the interface. During the workflow, flow state information of a packet flow is replicated at nodes of the first node group, sent from the first node group to a second node group via a fast-path node, and replicated at nodes of the second node group. Connections used for the application requests remain operational. After the migration workflow completes, nodes of the second node group provide packet rewriting rules for directing requests of the application.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sujogya Banerjee, Shine Mohamed Jabbar
