Abstract: A storage controller of a network controlled content recording system that uses a combination of network and local storage determines to record content for a user. The storage controller performs an evaluation to determine whether to store the content in network or local storage. The evaluation may include evaluating a set of rules and/or characteristics of the user, characteristics of the content, characteristics of a request to record the content, and so on. The storage controller then arranges for the content to be recorded accordingly. Subsequently, the storage controller may reevaluate storage locations and direct transfer accordingly. This reevaluation may include determining that various characteristics related to the user, the content, and so on have changed and that transfer is appropriate due to that change.

Abstract: Techniques have been developed to facilitate the livestreaming of group audiovisual performances. Audiovisual performances including vocal music are captured and coordinated with performances of other users in ways that can create compelling user and listener experiences. For example, in some cases or embodiments, duets with a host performer may be supported in a sing-with-the-artist style audiovisual livestream in which aspiring vocalists request or queue particular songs for a live radio show entertainment format. The developed techniques provide a communications latency-tolerant mechanism for synchronizing vocal performances captured at geographically-separated devices (e.g., at globally-distributed, but network-connected mobile phones or tablets or at audiovisual capture devices geographically separated from a live studio).

Abstract: A region-based distributed information management system is described herein in which some or all of the operations typically performed by a centralized storage manager can be distributed to storage managers located in the various geographic regions. These regional storage managers can manage components of the information management system located in their respective geographic region, and communicate with the centralized storage manager (also referred to herein as a “master storage manager”) for synchronization purposes and/or to hand off operations that cannot be performed by the regional storage manager.

Abstract: A method may include generating a proxy auto-configuration file including a function and a hash value associated with a resource. The hash value may be determined based on an identifier of the resource. The proxy auto-configuration file may include the hash value instead of a plaintext value of the identifier to obscure the plaintext value of the identifier. The proxy auto-configuration file including the function and the hash value may be sent to at least enable the function to be invoked by a web browser at one or more clients. The function may be configured to respond to being invoked by the web browser by determining, based on the hash value, whether to bypass a proxy server when accessing the resource. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems and methods for maintaining situational stability at a target location. The systems may include a database of machine-learning (“ML”)-derived event profiles. The systems may include a plurality of edge-nodes that are proximal to the target location. Each edge-node may generate a data stream of situational data pertaining to the target location. Each edge-node may transmit its data stream to the other edge-nodes. Each edge-node may conglomerate its own data stream with the data streams received from the other edge-nodes to create a conglomerated data stream. Each edge-node may monitor its conglomerated data stream for data that matches one of the event profiles. When a consensus is determined among the edge-nodes that a match occurred, the systems may execute a pre-determined response.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for dynamically assigning data sets to cells within a cell-based architecture, in which individual cells individual cells operate independently of one another within the cell-based architecture. In response to a request to create a data set on the cell-based architecture, a system can dynamically assign the data set to a cell based on cell information, which can reflect cell health, utilization, configuration, and the like. The system can create a record that associates the data set to the selected cell, such that subsequent requests to access the data set can be routed to the selected cell based on the record. Dynamic assignment of data sets to cells improves on fixed assignment techniques, for example, by enabling heterogeneous cell configuration.
