  • Patent number: 10547654
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques to enable a user to concurrently engage with live content and/or chat conversations of multiple conference sessions at the same time. The concurrent engagement is enabled within a single user interface. The user interface is configured to enable the concurrent engagement with live content and/or chat conversations of multiple conference sessions via an adjacent view (e.g., side-by-side, top and bottom, etc.) or a tabbed view. The live content can be configured for display in a first display region of the user interface. The chat conversations can be configured for display in a second display region of the user interface that is adjacent to the first display region. Consequently, a user is able to manage levels of engagement with live content and chat conversations of multiple conference sessions, and switch the levels of engagement to view and/or hear activity amongst the multiple conference sessions.

  • Patent number: 10534548
    Abstract: A method for ensuring appropriate content formatting of data prior to storage in a dispersed storage network (DSN) includes sending a content format verification code (“code”) to a secure execution module. The method further includes signing the code with a secure execution module signature to produce a trusted code and sending the trusted code to a trusted computing module. The method further includes sending, by the trusted computing module, the secure execution module signature and a trusted content format verification code identification to a dispersed storage (DS) processing unit. When the secure execution module signature and the trusted code ID are verified, the method includes sending a write request to the trusted computing module, determining whether the data is in the appropriate content format based on the trusted code, and when the data of the write request is in the appropriate format, sending the data to the DS processing unit.

  • Patent number: 10523581
    Abstract: Implementing a new node controller in a cluster environment. A method includes, at a primary node controller in the cluster environment, deploying a secondary node controller to be updated, associated with a flight container. The secondary node controller appears logically to the primary node controller as resources available to the primary node controller to which the primary node controller can assign cluster jobs. The primary node controller delegates cluster jobs to the secondary node controller. Sub-containers are started in the flight container for the secondary node controller to start delegated cluster jobs. Performance of the secondary node controller is monitored with respect to the started jobs.

  • Patent number: 10498784
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for an audio/video live broadcast in a HTML5-based browser. There is a WebRTC-based communication channel built between a client end and a host end to do transmission for a video stream and an audio stream as well as a message transmission. After a communication is built between a client end and a host end, the client-end browser will receive data and process them while the network server only conducts works for verification, connections and heartbeat detection. A work to push streams does not need to be conducted by the server and thus the loading on the network server is reduced.
