  • Patent number: 11956289
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a digital collaborative workspace system. The system includes a server network node having a processor and a database accessible thereto. The server network node can include logic to register a first display identification code (DIC) with a first network node, a second DIC with a second network node and a third DIC with a third network node. The server network node can detect an input from a second user identifying the shared workspace and the registered phone number or other identifier of the first user. The server network node can transmit this data to the third network node and in dependence upon receiving a selection of one or more of the first DIC, the second DIC, and the third DIC from the third network node, start a collaboration by sending the shared digital workspace to the network nodes registered with the selected DICs.

  • Patent number: 11956294
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing different media to determine if the media originated from the same source. A two-part analysis is provided. During the first part, target data streams are analyzed to determine a template for the data stream or file, based upon the encoder used to encode the media transmitted in the data stream or stored in a file. After generating templates for the different streams, the templates are compared to determine which streams have matching templates. The second part of the analysis includes monitoring streams with matching templates to identify the same piece of media content in each of the streams. Upon identifying the same content, the content of each stream is synchronized and then compared to determine if the compared pieces of content were generated using the same encoder.

  • Patent number: 11916765
    Abstract: A method implemented through a server of a cloud computing network including subscribers of application acceleration as a service provided therethrough includes detecting a point anomaly in real-time data associated with each network entity based on determining whether the real-time data falls outside a threshold expected value thereof, and representing the detected point anomaly in a full mesh Q node graph, with Q being a number of features applicable for the each network entity. The method also includes capturing a transition in the point anomaly associated with a newly detected anomaly or non-anomaly in the real-time data associated with one or more of the Q number of features via the representation of the full mesh Q node graph, and deriving a current data correlation score for the point anomaly across the captured transition via the representation of the full mesh Q node graph.

  • Patent number: 11888633
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques optimize the use of computing resources and user engagement by controlling a user interface that displays renderings of meeting participants concurrently with two presentation areas. The participants can include one group of users or multiple groups of users. The two presentation areas are each reserved for content that can be controlled by different users or a single user. In some embodiments, a system can allow users to control the content, e.g., change the content, change a display of a particular page, etc. In some embodiments, individual groups of users can each control specific content in a respective display area. By displaying at least two display areas that each can be independently controlled by one person or multiple people, a system can improve user engagement and improved efficiencies with respect to computing resources.

  • Patent number: 11882165
    Abstract: A realtime kernel supports realtime communications between communicants operating on respective network nodes. The realtime kernel handles the complex tasks of connecting to communicants, virtual areas, and other network resources, switching those connections in response to user inputs, and mixing realtime data streams. The realtime kernel enables developers to focus on developing high-level communications functionality instead of low-level plumbing code. The realtime kernel imposes relatively low computational resource requirements so that realtime communications performance can be achieved using a wide range of computing devices and network connections that currently are available.

  • Patent number: 11882169
    Abstract: Techniques are described for adapting the format of streaming media based on received interactions with the media. In an embodiment, a client computer system receives from media streaming service an initial version of media in an initial media format. After the media is presented, a request to interact with the initial version of the media may be received. Such a request may cause the client system to generate a change request data for the initial version of media. Based at least in part on the change request data for the initial version of the media, the new format for streaming the media to the client computer system is determined. The client computer system receives the media streamed in the new format.
