  • Patent number: 11888797
    Abstract: Emoji-first messaging where text messaging is automatically converted to emojis by an emoji-first application so that only emojis are communicated from one client device to another client device. Each client device has a library of emojis that are mapped to words, which libraries are customizable and unique to the users of the client devices, such that the users can communicate secretly in code. Upon receipt of a string of emojis, a user can select the emoji string to convert to text if desired, for a predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 11876864
    Abstract: The condition of SFP transceivers of RDF port pairs is monitored and used to project port pair data transmission rate degradation. Responsive to receipt of a command to migrate data from a source volume to a target volume, ability of port pairs to accommodate the additional load associated with data migration is calculated based on projected data transmission rate and normal load. Only port pairs that are capable of accommodating the additional load in view of the condition of the SFP transceivers are considered as candidates. Utilization of the source volume is monitored and the target volume is created with a size based on projected growth of utilization of the source volume.

  • Patent number: 11870680
    Abstract: A communication method and apparatus are provided for transmitting packets of a data stream between user equipment. After receiving a first packet from a first user equipment, a user plane function (UPF) forwards the first packet to a second user equipment at a first moment, so that the first packet that arrives at the UPF before the first moment is not forwarded to the second user equipment until the first moment, to support deterministic sending and ensure that a time sensitive communication (TSC) packet is sent at a determined moment, so as to provide deterministic delay assurance for applications such as industrial control and telemedicine.
