Abstract: The present application describes systems and methods for filtering of malicious radio frequency (RF)-based data. A computing device includes a baseband filter configured to filter RF-based data. The baseband filter is configured to inspect information provided by the baseband processor before providing the information to other portions of the computing device, such as an application processor. In some examples, the baseband filter inspects a command and an operand in received RF-based data to determine the validity of the command and the operand. In some examples, if the RF-based data includes a read command to read a portion of memory, the baseband filter determines if the portion of memory is allowed to be read by (provided to) the baseband processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing closed captioning summarization. Various options may be provided to summarize different portions of a media item (e.g., a last 5 minutes, the last 15 minutes, from the beginning of the show). Upon receiving a request for a summary, a closed captioning summarization service may extract a portion of closed captions of a corresponding closed caption file and generate a prompt for a language model (LM) instructing the language model to summarize the extracted portion. A summary received from the LM may be presented on a display concurrently with the media item to provide a recapitulation of a desired portion of the media item to the user without disrupting play of the media item.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for providing dynamic remediation of a pluggable streaming device issue, such as a customer premises equipment (CPE) device. Sometimes, various features of the CPE device to begin to fail. For example, synchronization of the audio and video streams may drift, media rental purchases may time out, or playback may throttle to low quality. Such failures can be caused by device or network issues. The present disclosure describes a CPE remediation system that operates to identify a failure associated with playing media streamed by the CPE device. The CPE remediation system may further determine a solution to remediate an observed CPE device-related failure. In some examples, the CPE remediation process may further provide or perform one or more actions included in the determined solution. In some examples, the solution may include a warm or a cold reboot.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for preventing unauthorized Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card swapping by implementing proximity-based SIM card subscriber authentication. In examples, when a communications service provider receives a request to move a subscriber phone number to a new SIM card, the new SIM card is activated in a locked state. In the locked state, certain features (e.g., receiving calls and text messages/texts) are disabled until the subscriber's identity is confirmed using proximity-based authentication. In examples, proximity-based SIM card subscriber authentication is performed using a token provided by a physical authentication device within proximity to a subscriber mobile device including the new SIM card. Upon successful proximity-based SIM card subscriber authentication, the new SIM card is activated in an unlocked state.

Abstract: A computing device of a user that has been invited to participate in a scheduled teleconferencing session may obtain information associated with the teleconferencing session, such as a meeting identifier and/or one or more user identifiers associated with other invitees of the teleconferencing session. The computing device may determine that a cloud-based teleconferencing service associated with the teleconferencing session is unavailable. In response to determining that the cloud-based teleconferencing service is unavailable, the computing device may retrieve internet protocol (IP) addresses of other computing devices (corresponding to other invitees) from a domain name service (DNS) based on the meeting identifier and/or the one or more user identifiers. The computing device may then initiate peer-to-peer connections with the other computing devices using the received IP addresses and participate in the teleconferencing session via the peer-to-peer connections.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing interface and abstraction system for edge bare metal (“EBM”) service. In various embodiments, an interface system receives first input requesting interaction with one or more EBM servers, each located at a network edge and each configured to provide bare metal server resources. The interface system provides a uniform interface between a plurality of EBM servers and external systems and establishes a connection with each EBM server. The interface system generates commands (e.g., instructions and/or queries, etc.) for each EBM server based on the first input and sends the commands to each EBM server over the corresponding established connection. The interface system accesses and abstracts data from the EBM servers via the established connection with each EBM server, generates data views based on the abstracted data, and presents the data views to a requesting system among the one or more external systems.

Abstract: In examples, a first Anycast advertisement is received from a first server identifying the first server as a primary address for a service. In addition, a second Anycast advertisement is received from the first server identifying the first server as a secondary address for the service. Further, a third Anycast advertisement is received from a second server identifying the second server as the secondary address for the service. A first community advertisement is also from the first server identifying the first server as a member of a first community. Thereafter, a first request is received from a client including the primary address, and the request is routed to the first server. When a second request from the client is received including the secondary address, based at least on the community advertisement, the first server is ignored, and the second request is routed to the second server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying content delivery in a content delivery network (CDN) are described. Content retrieval and routing in a CDN are tested using multiple test sequences that are each assigned to a different value of a parameter P and are generated using the assigned value of P. A client device can verify whether a test sequence received at the client device matches a test sequence requested by the client device (e.g., the correct content was) and verify that the received test sequence is assigned to the same value of P as the requested test sequence. The value of P assigned to the received test sequence can be extracted, by the client device, from the received test sequence to determine which test sequence was actually received, thereby providing information that can be used to help debug content delivery errors.

Abstract: In a distributed replicated storage system, an active server may, during normal operation, service requests from clients, and back up its persistent storage to a backup server. The backup server may be configured to become an active server autonomously if the active server fails. If a network connection between the active server and the backup server fails, severing the connection between the active server and the backup server, the backup server may become a second active server and begin to service requests from clients, and the original active server may continue to service requests from clients. This may result in inconsistencies in the persistent storage of the original active server and of the second active server. As such, a system and method for intelligent merging of primary and backup data in a distributed replicated storage system are provided.

Abstract: In a system with a plurality of servers serving one or more clients, situations may arise in which a client has a connection to a first server which is providing a service to the client, and in which it would be advantageous to transfer the connection to a second server, in a manner that does not require the re-establishing of the connection or the making of a renewed request, by the client, for the service. As such, a system and method for transferring a client connection from one server to another server are provided.
