Patent number: 11272251Abstract: A system and method are presented for sharing an audio-visual stream from a server system with a plurality of participant computer systems and for the automated generation of portions. Each participant computer system provides audio and visual data which is converted into the audio-visual stream by the server system. The server system then shares the audio-visual stream with the participant computer systems. During the audio-visual stream, a participant computer can request a portion at a time T. The server will automatically generate a portion audio-visual file using audio and visual data from the stream extending from before time T to after time T. After creation of the portion, the participant computer can modify the timing of the portion and can modify the visual presentation of the portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: See A Star LLCInventors: Kenneth F.

Patent number: 11272330Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for identifying a location of a user prior to sending a notification and/or tailoring notification delivery and/or receipts to a determined location of the user. In many contexts, the delivery or receipt time of these notifications is important. For example, the message may include time-sensitive information or may have been targeted based on delivering (or being received at) an optimal time. The system may determine a time zone identifier by recording a user's default or home location based on known account data and establishing a transaction data stream for identifying transactions that are outside of a radius of the default location. Upon detecting transactions outside the default location, the system may update an account of the user with a temporary location. The system may then determine a delay based on this temporary location.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Abdelkader Benkreira, Michael Mossoba, Joshua Edwards

Patent number: 11269927Abstract: A transactional replicator applying group commit and barrier concepts is disclosed. Group commit means that the transactional replicator commits multiple transactions in a group and is not restricted to committing single transactions one-at-a-time and is not limited to operating on a single state provider. Barrier means that the transactional replicator does not move forward to commit additional transactions until the previous group of transactions are completed. All state providers must apply their transactions and update state before additional transactions will be committed. A quorum acknowledgement “unlocks” any locks that were acquired to update the state within a state provider. However, as long as there are no lock conflicts, additional transactions can continue to create new group commits as necessary.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gopal Krishna R. Kakivaya, Anurag Gupta, Sumukh Shivaprakash, Mihail G. Tarta, Mert Coskun

Patent number: 11266912Abstract: Disruptive behavior events are identified within an online gaming system. Players responsible for the identified disruptive behavior events are verified. A behavioral designation is applied to players in the online gaming system. The behavioral designation indicates whether or not a player is verified as responsible for one or more of the identified disruptive behavior events. Current real-time player behavior demographic data is generated for a specified game space using the behavioral designations applied to players associated with the specified game space. The generated current real-time player behavior demographic data for the specified game space is displayed to players associated with the specified game space. Using current real-time player behavior demographic data generated and displayed for different game spaces, a player is enabled to make a behavior-informed selection of a game space in which to enter for game play.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2020Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment LLCInventors: Victoria Dorn, Megumi Kikuchi, Jing Li, Tomoyo Kimura, Yinghui Xia
