  • Patent number: 11526628
    Abstract: An approach is provided for device-side probe trajectory anonymization based on negative gapping. The approach involves, for example, collecting a probe trajectory stream from a sensor of a probe device, wherein the probe trajectory stream comprises a time-sequence of location data points representing a sensed movement of the probe device. The approach also involves generating a plurality of subtrajectory streams from the probe trajectory stream. The approach further involves processing the plurality of subtrajectory streams to create a negative gap between the plurality of subtrajectory streams. The approach further involves providing the plurality of subtrajectory streams as an output in place of the probe trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11522965
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing system can manage access to media sources associated with a user's media account. For example, the system can coordinate access to a user's media account between local and network devices such that when access to the user's media account is granted to an application on a user device, the application can access both local and network media sources associated with the user's media account. Similarly, when access to the user's media account is revoked from an application at a user device or at a network device, the application is prevented from accessing both local and network media sources associated with the user's media account.

  • Patent number: 11509674
    Abstract: An anomaly detection system is disclosed capable of reporting anomalous processes or hosts in a computer network using machine learning models trained using unsupervised training techniques. In embodiments, the system assigns observed processes to a set of process categories based on the file system path of the program executed by the process. The system extracts a feature vector for each process or host from the observation records and applies the machine learning models to the feature vectors to determine an outlier metric each process or host. The processes or hosts with the highest outlier metrics are reported as detected anomalies to be further examined by security analysts. In embodiments, the machine learnings models may be periodically retrained based on new observation records using unsupervised machine learning techniques. Accordingly, the system allows the models to learn from newly observed data without requiring the new data to be manually labeled by humans.

  • Patent number: 11507324
    Abstract: A hub device or edge device implements adaptive data compression. The model training service analyzes the received data. A machine learning model of the hub device receives time-series data from one or more data sources and classifies respective portions of the time-series data as respective patterns. A data compressor at the hub device generates compressed data by applying different compression techniques to the respective portions of the time-series data according to a mapping of the compression techniques to the respective patterns. The hub device then transmits the compressed data to an endpoint for processing (e.g., another device that uses the compressed data). The hub device receives feedback for the compressed data. In response to the feedback, the hub device changes one or more of the compression techniques that are mapped to the respective patterns.

  • Patent number: 11483325
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a forensic scoping application analyzes host instances in order to detect anomalies. The forensic scoping application acquires a snapshot for each host instance included in an instance group. Each snapshot represents a current operational state of the associated host instance. Subsequently, the forensic scoping application performs clustering operation(s) based on the snapshots to generate a set of clusters. The forensic scoping application determines that a first cluster in the set of clusters is associated with fewer host instances than at least a second cluster in the set of clusters. Based on the first cluster, the forensic scoping application determines that a first host instance included in the instance group is operating in an anomalous fashion. Advantageously, efficiently determining host instances that are operating in an anomalous fashion during a security attack can reduce the amount of damage caused by the security attack.
