  • Patent number: 9442850
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems directed to reducing network traffic and processing overhead associated with directory refresh operations in wide area network file systems. In a particular implementation, the frequency of synchronization of certain directory contents information, such as security attribute information, that changes less frequently is reduced relative to other types of directory contents information that changes more frequently, such as file and folder names, last modified times, and the like. Other implementations reduce garbage collection overhead for a cached file system by deferring deletion of invalidated objects in a directory until a client application specifically identified the directory.

  • Patent number: 9444933
    Abstract: There are provided a communication apparatus capable of performing voice communication via an IP network, and performing FAX communication using a deemed voice, and a method of controlling the same. At the time of reception of an incoming call, the apparatus determines whether an incoming voice communication call or digital data has been received. If it is determined that the incoming voice communication call has been received and there is an already connected voice communication section, the SLIC superimposes a tone of a notification of the incoming call during voice communication on a voice during voice communication. When the telephone instructs to switch to the incoming call, the apparatus establishes a new session for the incoming call, and controls the selector to connect the already connected voice communication session to the digital modem to send a holding tone.

  • Patent number: 9432942
    Abstract: Systems, methodologies, and devices are described that can facilitate reducing power consumption associated with mobile devices. A mobile device can utilize a sleep mode controller that can facilitate selecting and/or switching to a desired sleep mode based in part on predefined sleep mode criteria. The sleep modes can include a non-sleep mode, light sleep mode, and/or deep sleep mode. The mobile device can employ an analyzer to evaluate information related to explicit signals, implicit signals, and/or the current sleep mode to determine whether a condition is met based in part on the predefined sleep mode criteria such that a transition to a different sleep mode is to be performed. If such a condition is met, the sleep mode controller can facilitate transitioning from the current sleep mode to a different sleep mode to facilitate reducing power consumption by the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9432461
    Abstract: An aspect of managing media content includes a memory device and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processor executes program instructions for causing the processor to perform operations. The operations include providing user-selectable options for managing storage space in the memory device that is allocated for an account. The options include an option for defining a condition for generating an alert when a threshold amount of the storage space is consumed. The operations also include receiving a data stream from a media device assigned to the account, determining an encoding rate corresponding to the data stream, monitoring consumption of the storage space, and upon determining the condition is met, transmitting the alert to the media device. The alert indicates an amount of storage space consumed and an approximated amount of recording time remaining for the data stream before a maximum capacity of the storage space is reached.

  • Patent number: 9412122
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for transferring user data objects, wherein a data providing component provides user data objects. According to the method, the data providing components are called up by a first telecommunication device in order to transfer a selection of certain user data objects to a second telecommunication device. The data providing component transmits a transfer offer message to the second telecommunication device in order to inform the latter on the user data objects that are to be transferred. At least one useful data object is then selected in a second telecommunication device, whereupon the user data object is transferred from the data providing component to the second telecommunication device. The user data object which is transferred to the second telecommunication device is then charged to the first telecommunication device.

  • Patent number: 9397961
    Abstract: A method of remapping allocated memory in a queue based switching element having first and second memory elements each allocated to a first port pair. An unallocated block of memory is identified in the first memory element as a candidate block, and an allocated block of memory is identified in the second memory element as a target block. Block information is copied from the target block to the candidate block, and the candidate block is maintained as unallocated. In response to a determination that read and write pointers are in a suitable position for a remapping operation, the candidate block is allocated and the target block is deallocated so that the second memory element becomes unallocated and available for reallocation to a second port pair.

  • Patent number: 9392549
    Abstract: Where receiver performance at a User Equipment (UE) is similar using a coarse precoder codebook as using a fine resolution precoder codebook, the signaling of a two-component precoder codebook is modified such that a precoder codeword is signaled to the UE in only a portion of the physical resources allocated for precoder codeword signaling to the UE. The remaining portion of the allocated physical resources is used to signal control information to improve the UE's performance.
