Patent number: 11399057Abstract: Solutions for enabling analytics for a virtualized application leverage reproducibility of information as a substitute for persisting information. Disclosed solutions include: collecting, by a virtualized application, first analytics data on a user equipment (UE); performing, by the virtualized application, a one-way function (e.g., a hash function) on persistent information (e.g., an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) number) on the UE to generate a unique UE identification (ID); transmitting the first analytics data and the UE ID to a remote node across a network; collecting, by the virtualized application, second analytics data on the UE; and transmitting the second analytics data and the UE ID to the remote node across the network. Because the UE ID is deterministic, it may be generated repeatedly, as needed, (producing the same value each time) to compensate for the inability of the virtualized application to persist the UE ID on the UE.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Kanakrai Chauhan

Patent number: 11356295Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for creating a per-app virtual private network (“VPN”) using hooking, even though an isolated process is used for networking functions. The isolated process can include networking functions of the WebView class for ANDROID. The application can start an HTTP proxy server to receive local HTTP requests. Then, the application can trigger a broadcast to the isolated process, causing the isolated process to route its HTTP requests to the HTTP proxy of the application. The application can then hook HTTP requests and send them to a virtual private network (“VPN”) tunnel server. This can allow an application to securely connect to enterprise files or data even though the networking functions occur in the isolated process.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Suman Aluvala, Sivasubramaniam Sivakumar, Ben Joseph

Patent number: 11349937Abstract: Techniques are provided for passive management of network connections. In an example, a cluster node determines to migrate its client connections to other nodes of its cluster. The cluster node can determine whether a client implements an always resolving policy (regarding resolving a domain name of the cluster), a cache resolving policy, or a resolve once policy. Where the node disconnects a client and it does not reconnect (because a domain name service (DNS) server no longer resolves a domain name to the node), the client implements an always resolving policy. Where the node eventually stops reconnecting, the client implements a cache resolving policy. After nodes of those types are migrated, nodes that implement a resolve once policy. The node can migrate these clients by disconnecting them in coordinating with stopping accepting connections. This can lead to non-disruptive migration of all clients.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Rafal Szczesniak, Jeremy Hitt
