  • Patent number: 12170904
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards an automated security hangar for private cellular networks. In response to detecting that a user equipment is departing a geographic area served by a private cellular network, the user equipment can encrypt its data and send it to a private cellular network server. The server can receive and securely store the encrypted data, and the server can provide a code to the user equipment. The user equipment can store the code, disconnect from the private cellular network, and depart the geographic area. When the user equipment returns to the geographic area and reconnects to the private cellular network, the user equipment can present the code to the server. The server can validate the code, the user equipment, and/or the operator of the user equipment, and the server can return the encrypted data to the user equipment.

  • Publication number: 20240414199
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards homoglyph attack detection. A homoglyph attack detection service can create images of customer's protected domain names. A convolutional neural network can generate feature vectors based on the images. The feature vectors can be stored in a similarity search data store. Newly observed domain names can be compared to the customer's protected domain names, by also generating feature vectors for the newly observed domain names and conducting approximate nearest neighbor searches. Search results can be further evaluated by comparing protected domain names to newly observed domain names using a siamese neural network which applies a similarity threshold. Newly observed domain names that meet or exceed the similarity threshold can be flagged for further action.

  • Patent number: 12165238
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards presenting communications data to a responding entity that are relevant to an emergency situation at an emergency location. The communications data can be obtained from communications (e.g., text messages, transmitted video, voice calls and the like) that involve at least one user device at the situation, including communications that do not involve the responding entity. Users may opt in to such an emergency service to allow access to their communications, whereby their device locations are tracked and known in the event of an emergency. Upon obtaining the communications data, a responder can receive a view of the scene augmented with the communications data. The view can include a three-dimensional and/or two-dimensional representation of the zone/area of the emergency situation. Filtering can be used to eliminate irrelevant communications, and summarization can be used to combine generally redundant communications.

  • Patent number: 12167094
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards creating a media content presentation for playback, based on user specified input criteria and playback instructions. A user specifies input criteria related to media source data. The media source data is accessed, and further based on the input criterion, matching segments (e.g., scenes and audio) are determined from metadata information that describes the segments; the media playback content is generated from the matching segments. A user may also specify criteria/instructions that describe how to play the matching segments, such as in linear order, or based on relative relevance such as scene impactfulness. A matching scene can be repeated, and/or augmented with annotation data. For any matching scene or transition between two matching scenes, specified playback speed and audio volume can be specified and applied. As part of generation, the media content presentation can be fit to a specified time constraint.

  • Patent number: 12167495
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards intelligently steering a roaming mobile communications device to a roaming carrier that is preferred by the mobile device's home network. When a mobile device requests to connect to a first visited network, decision logic of the home network determines whether the first visited network is the preferred visited network. If not, the home network returns a steer message (via the first visited network) to steer the mobile device to a preferred visited network. In one implementation, the steering decision is performed at the network edge by a home security edge protection proxy (H-SEPP) node coupled to a visiting SEPP (V-SEPP) node, which reduces hops and latency. What the home network considers preferred can be changed (e.g., dynamically) as desired by the home network. Also described is service-based steering that selects a different visited network based on a particular service requested by a mobile device.
