  • Patent number: 11785067
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums for receiving media data of a session. One apparatus includes processing circuitry that receives a media presentation description (MPD) file and one or more session-based description (SBD) files. The MPD file includes one or more essential property descriptors for session-based dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH). Each of the one or more essential property descriptors is associated with a different SBD file in the one or more SBD files. The processing circuitry determines, for a period in the MPD file, whether the period has a supplemental property descriptor for session-based DASH. The processing circuitry applies one of the one or more SBD files to the period in response to the period having the supplemental property descriptor. An identification value in the supplemental property descriptor is included in one essential property descriptor associated with the SBD file.

  • Patent number: 11770460
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and system for sharing a multi-protocol port and a server, where a designated field for storing a listening structure is newly added to a listening structure of an HTTP protocol. The method includes: writing, with respect to a target port, a listening structure of an RTMP protocol into the designated field of the HTTP protocol if the HTTP protocol and the RTMP protocol share the target port; detecting a target protocol corresponding to a connection request when the connection request is received by the target port; and reading the listening structure of the RTMP protocol from the designated field to obtain configuration information of the RTMP protocol if the target protocol is the RTMP protocol, and processing the connection request using the configuration information of the RTMP protocol.

  • Patent number: 11748312
    Abstract: A user may, when using an application of a first computing device, intend to share data with other computing devices. To share the data, sharing processes may be performed by the first computing device, any device that the data is to be shared with, and one or more network locations. The sharing processes may determine whether the data is available at any of the devices or at any of the one or more network locations. Any device or network location where the data is available may be selected as a source of the data. Any device where the data is unavailable may be sent the data from one or more sources. Once received, the data may be stored to enable access by an application.

  • Patent number: 11750685
    Abstract: A system can select media content instances for users, based on media preferences associated with the users and priority ratings of the media content instances. When the system selects a media content instance for a user, the system can send a text message or other notification to a user device of the user. The notification can include a media link to the selected media content instance. The system can also receive user feedback on the relevance and/or usefulness of the media content instances, which the system can use to adjust the priority ratings of the media content instances over time. The system can additionally determine whether consumption of media content instances by users leads to changes in behavior of the users over time.

  • Patent number: 11743319
    Abstract: A web application has a limit on the total number of concurrent users. As requests from client devices are received from users, a determination is made whether the application can accept those users. When the threshold number of users has been exceeded, new users are prevented from accessing the web application and are assigned to a queue system. A webpage may be sent to the users indicating queue status and may provide their estimated wait time. A cookie may be sent to the client for tracking the position of the user in the application queue. The users are assigned to a user bucket associated with a time interval of their initial request. When user slots become available, the users queued in the user bucket (starting from the oldest user bucket) are allowed access to the web application.

  • Patent number: 11711323
    Abstract: Embodiments discussed herein refer to systems and methods for chatbot interactions. When chatbot derived interactions are detected, the system can prevent those interactions from being further processed. This can be performed by an analysis system operative to engage in a dialog with customers. The system can manage a dialog with a first customer and evaluate the dialog to determine whether any interactions or responses are associated with a chatbot or a human. Interactions or responses determined be associated with a chatbot are dropped and not permitted to be further processed by the analysis system.

  • Patent number: 11704503
    Abstract: In some embodiments, text for user consumption may be generated based on an intended user action category and a user profile. In some embodiments, an action category, a plurality of text seeds, and a profile comprising feature values may be obtained. Context values may be generated based on the feature values, and text generation models may be obtained based on the text seeds. In some embodiments, messages may be generated using the text generation models based on the action category and the context values. Weights associated with the messages may be determined, and a first text message of the messages may be sent to an address associated with the profile based on the weights. Based on a reaction value obtained in response to the first message, a first expected allocation value may be updated based on the reaction value.
