  • Patent number: 11561908
    Abstract: A system is dynamically configured according to a state of a device connected to a network. An electronic device includes a device information management unit, an acquisition unit, a detection unit, and a device cooperative processing unit. The device information management unit manages device information related to a different device connected through a network. An acquisition unit acquires surrounding information. A detection unit detects generation of a specific event on the basis of the acquired surrounding information. In a case where a function necessary for processing the surrounding information in response to detection of the specific event is not included in itself, the device cooperative processing unit selects a device including the function from the different device on the basis of the device information and gives a request for proxy of the processing thereto through the network.

  • Patent number: 11558475
    Abstract: A system includes a processor and an interface. The processor determines that a first user takes a first action and a second user takes a second action, where the time period between the first action and the second action is less than a threshold. In response, the processor causes the system to transmit at least one of a suggestion associated with the first user for display to the second user or a suggestion associated with the second user for display to the first user. In response to the processor causing to transmit the suggestion associated with the second user, the interface receives an indication that the first user approves of the suggestion associated with the second user. In response to the processor causing to transmit the suggestion associated with the first user, the interface receives an indication that the second user approves of the suggestion associated with the first user.

  • Patent number: 11539708
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for content source verification and authentication using linked accounts. An authenticated group management system provides an improved approval process to create authenticated groups of linked accounts. In contrast to current systems in which a single gatekeeper reviews requests to add users to a group, the approval process utilized by the authenticated group management system enables each member of the authenticated group to review and respond to each request to add a prospective user. The more stringent approval process implemented by the authenticated group management system provides for a higher degree of authentication that each member of the authenticated group can be trusted, thereby increasing the security of content shared by the members of the authenticated group.

  • Patent number: 11489683
    Abstract: A system and a method of dating through video profiles are a dating platform that serves as a secure and accurate online dating application. The system used to implement the method includes a remote server and personal computing (PC) device. A plurality of user accounts is managed by the at least one remote server. The method begins by tracking a current location of the corresponding PC device of each user account with the remote server. Each user account is prompted to view an introduction video of at least one desired account with the corresponding PC device. The introduction video is outputted for viewing. The arbitrary account is then prompted to send a video-viewing request to the desired account. The desired account is prompted to accept the video-viewing request, and the introduction video is outputted for the desired account. A scheduling process is then executed for at least one live meeting.

  • Patent number: 11489722
    Abstract: An operator node is configured to enable the management of nodes communicatively coupled to the operator node via a network. A selection of node objects is received by the operator node, the selected node objects including software components for inclusion within a node configuration. A configuration policy is generated based on the selected objects, the configuration policy including a set of tests (such as scripts or executables) that, when run, test for the presence of one or more of the selected node objects. A target node is scanned to determine the configuration of the target node, and the set of tests are applied to identify a set of objects identified by the policy but not installed at the target node. The target node is then re-configured to install the identified set of objects at the target node.

  • Patent number: 11432043
    Abstract: A media player configured with a first removable memory reader, such as a DVD drive, and a second removable memory reader, such as a flash memory reader, adapted to communicate with a removable memory containing filter data. The media player is configured to allow filtered playback of a multimedia presentation, such as a movie. Filtered playbabk causes certain portions of the multimedia presentation to be skipped, muted, blurred, cropped, or otherwise modified to eliminate or reduce potentially objectionable scenes, language, or other content. The second memory reader provides a convenient medium for the loading of filter information, whether data files, executable program code, or the like, to local memory of the media player to employ during filtered playback. Alternatively, the filters may be accessed from the removable storage media during playback rather than loading to local memory.
