  • Patent number: 11799940
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing upload prioritization of files between computer systems are described herein. A computer system may assign each file of a plurality of files to one or more groups based at least in part on metadata associated with each file, where each group of the one or more groups is associated with a weight representing a ratio of priority for uploading to a server computer. A prioritized list for a portion of the plurality of files may be generated based at least in part on the one or more groups and associated weights of the one or more groups. One or more files from the prioritized list may be transmitted to the server computer based at least in part on an expiration of a certain time period where the expiration of the certain time period is associated with the transmitting of the content to the server computer.

  • Patent number: 11792076
    Abstract: A data security system interfaces with a plurality of heterogeneous online collaboration platforms, each having its own platform specific set of collaboration settings to control access to collaborative data. The data security system maps a set of common collaboration settings to the platform specific set of collaboration settings of each heterogeneous online collaboration platform and monitors a state of the platform specific set of collaboration settings of each heterogeneous online collaboration platform. If the data security system determines that the state of a platform specific collaboration setting does not comply with a specified common collaboration setting state, the data security system automatically changes the state of the platform specific collaboration setting to comply with the common collaboration setting state.

  • Patent number: 11792305
    Abstract: The warehouse control system (WCS) coordinates communication between communicating devices and systems. The WCS stores mappings of different message types that are transmitted between different components of a warehouse. The WCS accepts inbound messages from the components, parses the inbound messages, and handles the data accordingly. The WCS also transmits outbound messages to components of the warehouse. The WCS forms the outbound message according to protocols defined in the WCS. The WCS maps positions of each message to predefined data fields to define the message type. The mapping of the fields to positions of each message type defines the fields of the message for future message handling.

  • Patent number: 11757727
    Abstract: A system and techniques for intelligent network design allows for capture and conversion of a basic network design, often manually created, into a digital format without duplication of effort. The disclosed techniques provide a faster, more intelligent approach for designing a network by analyzing many thousands of existing network designs and recommending proposed solutions based on user provided objectives. The techniques can generate provider independent code that provides flexibility in supporting arbitrary provider targets. The techniques can also output provider specific code that allow for rapid, efficient deployment of the network. In addition, the technique can output network system architecture designs of varying details that can be customized for the intended audience. The techniques provide for automated importing and updating provider changes to network components, schemas, and application programming interfaces reducing any lag in system design.

  • Patent number: 11750470
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for ensuring that one or more compliance information bundles associated with one or more end-point identifiers maintain compliance with one or more regulations. It is detected that a rules engine has been updated with a new regulation. Based on an identification that one or more compliance information bundles associated with the one or more end-point identifiers will not be compliant with the new regulation after an expiration of a grace period associated with the new regulation, a status associated with each one or more compliance information bundles is changed to a provisionally-approved status. The changing of the status associated with each of the one or more compliance information bundles to the provisionally-approved status causes each of the one or more compliance information bundles to be treated, temporarily like the status of each the one or more compliance information bundles is an approved status.

  • Patent number: 11729026
    Abstract: A system and method for providing on-demand edge compute. The system may include an orchestrator that provides a UI and that controls an abstraction layer for implementing a workflow for providing on-demand edge compute. The abstraction layer may include a server configuration orchestration (SCO) system (e.g., a Metal-as-a-Service (MaaS) system) and API that may provide an interface between the orchestrator and the SCO. The API may enable the orchestrator to communicate with the SCO for receiving requests that enable the SCO to integrate with existing compute resources to perform various compute provisioning tasks (e.g., to build and provision a server instance). The various tasks, when executed, may provide on-demand edge compute service to users. The SCO API may further enable the ECS orchestrator to receive information from the SCO (e.g., compute resource information, status messages).

  • Patent number: 11727217
    Abstract: A computing system for interacting with a user comprises a processor and a memory storing executable software which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to commence an interactive session with a user, receive input data from the user during the interactive session, analyze the received input data and output a response to the user to continue the interactive session with the user. The processor, prior to outputting the response, identifies one or more topics from the received input data, ascertains a tone of the received input data, generates a mirroring prompt based on the ascertained tone of the received input data, and output to the user the generated mirroring prompt. The processor outputs the mirroring prompt to the user during the interactive session to cause an increase in a level of engagement of the user with the interactive session.

  • Patent number: 11729291
    Abstract: An announcement protocol may allow disparate, and previously incompatible, content delivery network caches to exchange information and cache content for one another. Announcement data may be stored by the respective caches, and used to determine whether a cache is able to service an incoming request. URL prefixes may be included in the announcements to identify the content, and longest-match lookups may be used to help determine a secondary option when a first cache determines that it lacks a requested content.
