  • Patent number: 11962628
    Abstract: A system and method for improving event and user communications and experiences. (e.g., managing meetings and their participants) is disclosed. By treating events such as meetings and their participants (meeting leaders and invited attendees) as a managed system, the present invention improves the quality and outcomes of meetings and the satisfaction of the participants. The present invention also makes joining of this intelligently-managed system particularly simple for new as well as returning participants, by providing a unique approach to the issues at the pre-meeting, meeting, and post-meeting phases in order to generate scores for the particular meeting, each participant (meeting leader and attendees), and a meeting graph linking the performance of each participant (meeting leader and attendees). This score is used to adjust and predict participant (meeting leader and attendees) behavior in subsequent meetings.

  • Patent number: 11888595
    Abstract: An information technology (IT) component associated with a first alert having an alert type is identified. A first list of recommended actions associated with the IT component is output. The first list includes a recommended action. A first user input of a user-selected action is received. An alert-to-component likelihood between the IT component and the alert type is decreased based on a determination that the first list does not include the user-selected action. The IT component is identified as being associated with a second alert based on the alert-to-component likelihood exceeding an alert-to-component likelihood threshold. A second list of recommended actions associated with the IT component is output. The second list does not include the recommended action and includes the user-selected action. A second user input of the user-selected action is received. A request to execute the user-selected action is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11888648
    Abstract: A softAP bridge is created to support a mesh network that also works seamlessly with any home Wi-Fi AP routers by using Layer-3 techniques to simulate a Layer-2 bridge. With this softAP bridge, Wi-Fi chipsets with integrated special Wi-Fi MAC Layer-2 mesh network support (e.g., 802.11s), or external gateway hubs, are not required. To accomplish this solution, one of the wireless devices may be designated as a relay device for communicating IPv6 data packets between a home AP router and the remaining wireless devices designated as client devices.

  • Patent number: 11882090
    Abstract: A distributed resource may be mapped into a virtual network, where the resource is distributed across a large number of nodes that are uniquely addressable within the distributed resource service's address space. The resource can be represented using a relatively small number of private VIP addresses within the virtual network, while still enabling access to all of the nodes that are uniquely addressable within the address space of the distributed resource service. A resource map may be created that relates the distributed resource service's address space to the virtual network's address space. The resource map may be used by a gateway that facilitates access to a distributed resource by clients. The resource map may also be used to translate packets that are sent from clients within a virtual network into the distributed resource service's address space.

  • Patent number: 11870590
    Abstract: A method for data transfer includes transmitting a sequence of data packets from a first computer over a network to a second computer in a single RDMA data transfer transaction. Upon receipt of a second packet in the sequence without previously having received the first packet, the second computer sends a NAK packet over the network to the first computer, indicating that the first packet was not received. A retransmission mode is selected responsively to the type of the transaction, such that when the transaction is of a first type, the first packet is retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet without retransmitting the second packet, and when the transaction is of a second type, both the first and second packets are retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet.
