  • Patent number: 11102206
    Abstract: In some implementations, methods and apparatuses herein relate to generating shared memory spaces that can share files or applications between users and between user devices. For example, a processor can allocate a first portion of a memory of a client device to serve as a shared memory space for at least one dynamic application object, and instantiating a user interface on a display associated with the client device. The user interface can be based on a content of the shared memory space and representing the at least one dynamic application object. A processor can define access rights for a user of a second electronic device for receiving a copy of the instantiated user interface. The processor can define user rights for the user for use of the at least one dynamic application object with the second electronic device. The at least one dynamic application object can be a data file or a live user experience.

  • Patent number: 11102551
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that facilitates sharing, by a mobile phone user, content that the user has viewed on a television coupled to a media processor. A message is initiated via a messaging client of the mobile phone, and a video clip is obtained by the mobile phone from the media processor. Additional video content provided at the mobile phone is attached to the video clip. The format of the video clip is converted to enable presentation of the converted video clip at a recipient device; the converted video clip is transmitted to the recipient device via the messaging client. The media processor and the mobile phone form a natively integrated device, so that a video clip of the content can be produced and transmitted without installation of an application on the mobile phone.

  • Patent number: 11099883
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network experience shifting, and, in particular embodiments, using either a roaming or portable hypervisor associated with a user or a local hypervisor unassociated with the user. In some embodiments, a network node in a first network might receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a user device to establish roaming network access, and might authenticate a user associated with the user device, the user being unassociated with the first network access device. Based on a determination that the user is authorized to access data, content, profiles, and/or software applications that are accessible via a second network access device, the network node might establish a secure private connection through a hypervisor or container communicatively coupled to the first network access device to provide the user with access to her data, content, profiles, and/or software applications.

  • Patent number: 11102536
    Abstract: A configuration is implemented by which, in a case where delivery time periods of transmission contents through different channels overlap with each other, a reception apparatus can select an acquisition target on the basis of priority information. A transmission apparatus sets, for each of transmission contents, service selection priority information (Service Selection Priority) capable of being utilized as a cache process priority criterion in the reception apparatus, and transmits the service selection priority information to the reception apparatus. The service selection priority information is utilized as priority information that makes it possible, in a case where delivery time periods of transmission contents through different channels overlap with each other, for the reception apparatus to select a content having a high value of the service selection priority information as a cache target.

  • Patent number: 11097991
    Abstract: Endophytic microbial strains as biocatalysts isolated from fresh plant samples, compositions, and methods of use thereof to enhance the growth and/or yield of a plant in the presence of reduced synthetic phosphate fertilizers are provided. Endophytic microbial strains serve as biocatalysts to solubilize mineral-P and mineralize organic-P otherwise unavailable to plants for their nutritional phosphate needs. Thus defined, biocatalysts, will serve to replace synthetic phosphate fertilizers. Also provided are materials and methods for inoculating plants with these biocatalysts at carefully selected inoculum densities to reliably reduce the amount of synthetic phosphate fertilizer by 50% thus accomplishing obtaining optimal yields in technically and cost-effective manner.
