  • Patent number: 11108797
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, directs a computing system to secure a communication network. The program comprises a traffic inspection engine, a domain generation algorithm (DGA) inspection engine, and a message bus communicationally coupling the traffic inspection engine and the DGA inspection engine. The traffic inspection engine is configured to identify if a traffic session containing a domain name system (DNS) request and/or response in a communication network includes a DGA generated domain and send information about the identified DGA generated domain to the DGA inspection engine via the message bus. The DGA inspection engine is configured to verify if the identified DGA generated domain is registered, and send information about the registered DGA domain to the traffic inspection engine via the message bus.

  • Patent number: 11101917
    Abstract: Devices, computer-readable media, and methods for selecting a type of transmission for an immersive visual stream based upon a latency estimate. For instance, a processing system including at least one processor may obtain a latency estimate for an immersive visual stream, determine whether the latency estimate exceeds a latency threshold for selecting a type of transmission for the immersive visual stream, and select the type of transmission for the immersive visual stream from among a field of view restricted type of transmission and a field of view plus out of scene type of transmission based upon the determining. When the latency estimate is determined to not exceed the latency threshold, the field of view restricted type of transmission is selected. When the latency estimate is determined to exceed the latency threshold, the field of view plus out of scene type of transmission is selected.

  • Patent number: 11100543
    Abstract: A method of presenting information to a party through a messaging application is described. Responsive to receipt of a communication from a party (e.g., the first user), a reply is sent. The communication and the reply is presented in an interface to the sender. The messaging system determines matching content that is relevant to one or both of the communication and the reply and determines a quality of the match. Determining the quality of the match may include determining a score for an advertisement based on the advertisement's responsiveness to content identified in the reply message that was sent. Based on a determination that the quality is above a threshold, the matching content is presented along with the communication and the reply.

  • Patent number: 11102206
    Abstract: In some implementations, methods and apparatuses herein relate to generating shared memory spaces that can share files or applications between users and between user devices. For example, a processor can allocate a first portion of a memory of a client device to serve as a shared memory space for at least one dynamic application object, and instantiating a user interface on a display associated with the client device. The user interface can be based on a content of the shared memory space and representing the at least one dynamic application object. A processor can define access rights for a user of a second electronic device for receiving a copy of the instantiated user interface. The processor can define user rights for the user for use of the at least one dynamic application object with the second electronic device.

  • Patent number: 11089136
    Abstract: Edge functions at an edge location of a content delivery network (CDN) may access data from a back-end database without the need to make high-latency network calls to the back-end databases. When a client sends a query to the edge location, an edge function is triggered. The requested data may be retrieved from a read-only local table at the edge location (populated from a back-end database) and the retrieved data is provided to the edge function's memory for low-latency access during function execution.

  • Patent number: 11082407
    Abstract: The approved email generation system described is capable of producing email communications using approved email templates and content that have been aligned with information regarding user access to such content. Once the approved email has been generated, the content may be verified again for accuracy and validity before being delivered to the user. When the user accesses delivered content, the approved email generation system again verifies the content and allows the user access to only the most current version of the content available. The system provides for control of the content of electronic communications to users.

  • Patent number: 11082373
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for dynamically creating content to present to a user based on an identified intent, or other context, associated with a message (e.g., email). A message that is received from a message server can be analyzed to identify the message content within the message prior to distributing to the recipient client device. Trained intent identification models can be applied to the identified message content to determine an intent, or other type of context, associated with the message. Upon identifying the intent, the message header can be modified to include the intent prior to forwarding the message to the recipient client device. The client device can then display a user interface including the message and a user interface element corresponding to a third-party service. The user interface element can be dynamically generated to include an action component that upon selection, triggers an action associated with the intent.
