  • Patent number: 12785822
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for identifying network leaks are described herein. Data associated with network leaks may be collected and analyzed to determine a network leak type(s) associated with each network leak. Each network leak type may be associated with a particular radio frequency (RF) radiation pattern. RF radiation patterns as well as corresponding features associated with a number of network leak types may be stored in a database and/or library. A classification model may use the database and/or library to classify an unknown RF radiation pattern as being associated with a leak type(s) of the number of network leak types.

  • Patent number: 9787486
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer readable media, and apparatuses for enabling chat sessions are presented. In response to detecting that a first user is viewing a first program, a chat invitation may be automatically transmitted to a second user. The chat invitation may identify the first user and the first program, and further may invite the second user to initiate a chat session with the first user. An updated chat invitation may be automatically transmitted in response to detecting that the first user has changed to viewing a second program, and a chat session that has been initiated may subsequently be transferred to another device. Content prioritization settings may be accounted for in transmitting one or more chat invitations, and before a chat invitation is transmitted, it may be determined that a sufficient amount of time has elapsed to suggest that the user will continue viewing the first program.

  • Publication number: 20050083845
    Abstract: A method of traffic regulation in a packet communication network involves a token bucket associated with a subscriber. Packets arriving at the regulator are handled in accordance with the token bucket configuration. The method further involves measuring a demand placed on the packet communication network by the subscriber. The token bucket configuration for the subscriber is dynamically adjusted based on the demand. Another method of traffic regulation handles packets that arrive at the regulator in accordance with first and second token bucket configurations. The first token bucket regulates packet rate while the second token bucket regulates data rate. Another method of traffic regulation involves handling packets in accordance with a token bucket configuration, where the amount of tokens to be removed is based on the amount of the flow and is further based on a classification of the flow. Packet-level devices for traffic regulation are also contemplated.
