  • Patent number: 11212416
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating certified images, annotations, and incident reports are disclosed. A media capture device can be used to capture a media asset and related metadata. The image and its metadata can then be certified upon capture so that it can be verified as authentic and unaltered after certification. The certified media asset can then be included in or as a part of an incident report, which may optionally align multiple media assets along a path based on location and time of capture. The report may itself be certified and synchronized with a cloud server system.

  • Patent number: 11210207
    Abstract: In some examples, performance counters for computer memory may include ascertaining a request associated with a memory address range of computer memory. The memory address range may be assigned to a specified performance tier of a plurality of specified performance tiers. A performance value associated with a performance attribute of the memory address range may be ascertained, and based on the ascertained performance value, a weight value may be determined. Based on the ascertained request and the determined weight value, a count value associated with a counter associated with the memory address range may be incremented. Based on an analysis of the count value associated with the counter, a determination may be made as to whether the memory address range is to be assigned to a different specified performance tier of the plurality of specified performance tiers.

  • Patent number: 11210270
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11211034
    Abstract: 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.
