  • Patent number: 11201754
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for synchronized accessibility for client devices in an online conference are described. For example, a conferencing system receives presentation content and audio content as part of the online conference from a client device. The conferencing system generates sign language content by converting audio in the audio content to sign language. The conferencing system then synchronizes display of the sign language content with the presentation content in a user interface based on differences in durations of segments of the audio content from durations of corresponding segments of the sign language content. Then, the conferencing system outputs the sign language content as synchronized with the presentation content, such as to a viewer client device that requested the sign language content, or to storage for later access by viewers that request sign language content.

  • Patent number: 11196808
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a distributed computer network has a server node, a leader node, and a plurality of participant nodes that communicate via a communications network. During a first phase, the leader node generates a leader performance, each participant node receives and renders the leader performance and generates a corresponding participant performance, and the server node receives the leader performance and the participant performances and generates one or more group performances, each including multiple, synchronized performances. During a second phase, the server node transmits the one or more group performances to the participant nodes, and each participant node receives and renders a group performance, thereby allowing a corresponding participant at each participant node to perform along with the rendering of the corresponding group performance.

  • Patent number: 11184260
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to method and system for determining network congestion level. The method includes determining a round trip time (RTT) for each high priority and for each low priority packet transaction in the precision time protocol (PTP) protocol. The high priority and the low priority packet transactions are conducted between a master device and a slave device within a pre-defined time window. The method further includes determining an average high priority RTT and an average low priority RTT based on the RTT for each high priority packet transaction and for each low priority packet transaction respectively, computing an average delta RTT based on a difference between the average high priority RTT and the average low priority RTT, and determining an instantaneous network congestion level based on the average delta RTT and a reference delta RTT for a number of pre-defined time windows since a start of the slave device.

  • Patent number: 11184218
    Abstract: A system is provided herein that can correlate service issues with system telemetry associated with the software session associated with those service issues. Using a statistical approach, the system can evaluate data across numerous software sessions to rank the importance of the reported service issues. To accomplish the ranking, the system can parse the reports of service issues on a periodic basis, can extract telemetry identifiers (IDs) from the logs, can query the telemetry, may compute the relative importance of detected issues (in the context of calls going on for that day), and then can report this impact back to the service issue database.

  • Patent number: 11159630
    Abstract: A client network application transmits a request for a network resource to a server. The client receives a response that includes a network resource that includes a digital signature that represents that at least a portion of the received network resource has been determined to be conforming to a set of rule(s). The client determines whether the digital signature is valid. If it is valid, the client processes the network resource in a pipeline (e.g., a fast path pipeline) and if it is not valid, the client may process the network resource in a different pipeline (e.g., a non fast-path pipeline).

  • Patent number: 11095508
    Abstract: A method for automating network function virtualization (NFV) using a modular NFV framework involves subscribing, by a control module of a network, to a key of a state store of the network. The state store includes stored data objects and unique keys. Each of the stored data objects is associated with one of the unique keys. The key is one of the unique keys. A notification is received at the control module from the state store. The notification is associated with the key. The control module reads a data object, associated with the key, from the stored data objects in the state store in response to the notification, and the control module modifies a network traffic flow of the network through two or more software network functions of the network based on the data object.

  • Patent number: 11089113
    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for pushing session information to a newly joined node in a cluster of nodes. In the cluster, each node may maintain a session table of existing sessions. One or more nodes may detect a new node has joined the cluster. Each node, responsive to the detection, may apply a hash function on a tuple of each session of the existing sessions in the session table of the node to determine whether one or more existing sessions are identified to be owned by the new node as a result of the hash function. Each node, responsive to identifying that one or more sessions are to be owned by the new node, may push corresponding session information to the new node. The new node may become configured to receive a packet corresponding to the one or more sessions and to process the packet.
