  • Patent number: 12177270
    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are provided for real-time updates of collaborative documents in a group-based communication system. Collaborative documents may allow for multiple users to simultaneously modify and edit a document. When a collaborative document is created, a server may create an ephemeral channel and an identifier for the collaborative document. As users connect to the collaborative document, the users may be assigned a temporary subscription to the collaborative document. Real-time events, such as indications that a user is typing, indications that a user is connected in the collaborative document, and changes to the collaborative document may be published to the user via the temporary subscription. When the user disconnects from the document, the real-time events may no longer be communicated.

  • Patent number: 12143428
    Abstract: The disclosed system enables a wideband codec audio call between a mobile device and a wireless telecommunication network support center by ensuring that multiple components of the network participating in the call and multiple legs that make up the call all communicate using the same wideband codec. A leg among the multiple legs is a connection between two components participating in the call. While all the legs making up the call between the caller and the callee have to be wideband, the system can enable any branching legs in the call, for example, those directed to a third party, to be either wideband or narrowband.

  • Patent number: 12010007
    Abstract: Usually agents probe other agents across the network to determine the network health. If network data from noisy agents (i.e., agents themselves causing the high latency) is used, it degrades the overall probe statistics. Thus, agents can be identified as noisy and then data from such noisy agents can be excluded from further consideration, thereby improving the quality of the active monitoring dataset. An algorithm executing on a centralized server computer uses a sample of active monitoring probe data. A first part of the algorithm involves determining the expected latency for a probe. The second part of the algorithm uses the information about the expected latency for a probe to compute a fraction of an agent's probes that have anomalous latencies using the original (full) data set. Agents with large fractions of anomalous probes receive high noise scores in the algorithm and are filtered.
