Patent number: 11210270Abstract: A system that maps files into multiple parts and initiates storage of each part within a respective storage provider. The mapping facilitates this by correlating each of the multiple parts to a corresponding storage provider which may be different than the storage provider that stores a different part of the same file. The system then initiates storage of the multiple parts of the file in each of their corresponding storage provider in accordance with the mapping, and using a storage-provider-facing API. Similarly, retrieval and/or editing of a partial file may be accomplished by referencing the mapping, and using the same API issued to the appropriate storage provider. Each storage provider is capable of interfacing with the system using this same API.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peng Li, Raghunath Ramakrishnan, Baskar Sridharan, Christopher William Douglas, Virajith Jalaparti, Sriram Rao, Sri Sai Kameswara Pavan Kumar Kasturi, Karthick Krishnamoorthy, Chakrapani Bhat Talapady, Krishna Pradeep Reddy Tamma

Patent number: 11211034Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access a first image that is generated at a first frame rate. The system may determine whether a change of a user viewpoint with respect to one or more display contents satisfies a threshold criterion. The system may select an operation mode from a first operation mode and a second operation mode based on the determination whether the change of the user viewpoint satisfies the threshold criterion. The system may generate a number of second images at a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate. When the selected operation mode is the first operation mode, the second images may be generated using a resampling process. When the selected operation mode is the second operation mode, the second images may be generated by transforming one or more previously generated second images that are generated based on the first image.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLC.Inventors: Larry Seiler, Warren Andrew Hunt
