  • Patent number: 12659376
    Abstract: A collaborative artificial intelligence platform enables real-time multi-user interaction through automatic generation of unique shareable sessions with granular permission controls. The system implements novel real-time prompt modification capabilities that allow users to update and refine AI processing tasks while they are actively executing, using sophisticated interrupt handling algorithms and state checkpointing mechanisms to preserve computational work. An intelligent task routing system monitors performance metrics of multiple AI agents and dynamically selects optimal agents based on empirical benchmarks and task characteristics. The platform organizes conversations into hierarchical threading structures with cross-thread context management, semantic analysis for conflict detection, and global context state maintenance.

  • Patent number: 12652265
    Abstract: Two electronic devices attempt to communicate and exchange Internet Protocol (IP) packets over a cellular communication network, and at least one of the two devices is behind a symmetric Network Address Translation (NAT) service. At least one of the two devices executes a Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol, which provides to that device a pair of external IP address and port of that device; which that device then informs to a Message Broker Unit that is accessible to both devices via the public Internet. The Message Broker Unit provides the external IP address and port of that device, to the other device; which then connects to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server and sends to the first device one or more User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets that penetrate or puncture the NAT service in an application-agnostic manner.

  • Patent number: 12463876
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to utilizing a service incident resolution system to determine and mitigate service incidents in a cloud computing system. For example, based on identifying an outage ticket (e.g., a customer-impacting incident ticket), the service incident resolution system identifies additional context of the outage by detecting a number of relevant monitoring signals. For instance, the service incident resolution system utilizes various monitoring signals and service models to determine monitoring signals that are relevant to the outage ticket by efficiently selecting relevant monitor signals and filtering out noisy signals. In this way, vaguely reported outages are supplemented with rich information that enable these outages to be resolved more quickly. Additionally, the service incident resolution system may utilize service-based models to efficiently send a report of an outage to a service or mitigation team that is well-equipped to quickly address the outage.

  • Patent number: 12432173
    Abstract: This document describes a system and method for detecting the presence of Internet of Things (IoTs) from network traffic that has undergone a Network Address Translation (NAT) process, i.e., NATed network traffic, regardless of whether the network traffic comprises IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) type of traffic or Domain Name System (DNS) type of traffic. Such a capability is crucial as the adoption rate of IoTs have increased exponentially over the past few years. In order to protect IoTs from cyber-attacks, one would first have to understand what type of IoTs are being used, and how many/how widely used these IoTs are. Once the IoT landscape has been defined, cyber defenders may then dedicate resources to identify and subsequently address vulnerabilities that may be in these IoTs.

  • Patent number: 12401579
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of a deployment are provided. The deployment may be managed in accordance with a subscription model. The subscription model may use subscriptions to define the extent and limits on use of services provided by the deployment. The subscription services and limits may be enforced by management controllers of network devices of the deployment. The management controllers may operate independently from control planes and data planes of the network devices. If a plane is suspected of being compromised, the management controllers may take action to confirm the suspicions. If confirmed, then remedial activity may be initiated to address the compromised plane.
