  • Patent number: 10901816
    Abstract: A method of filesystem-based communication of computer applications is provided. The method implemented using a filesystem communications interface (FCI) computer device coupled to a first computer and a second computer on which computer applications are installed. The method includes mounting file systems on the first computer and second computer by installing communications interface drivers, receiving a data transfer command that includes a data unit from the first computer, identifying that the data transfer command corresponds to a filesystem-based data transfer protocol, generating another data transfer command by converting the first data transfer command into a first network-based data transfer protocol, receiving the data unit from the first computer, and transmitting, using the second communications interface driver, the data unit to the second computer application by the using a third data transfer command.

  • Patent number: 10901810
    Abstract: Technologies are presented that allow application events to be recorded and replayed in a reliable and deterministic manner. A computing system may include a memory and a processor communicatively coupled with the memory. The processor may execute application logic of an application, record events associated with the application based on invocation of functions associated with the events, and store the recorded events in the memory for future playback. Recorded events may include, for example, user interactions, timing events, network downloads, callbacks, web worker tasks, etc. The recording of the events may include recording top-level functions of each event according to their order, and recording associated data including function parameters and/or return values. The recorded events may be replayed in order using the recorded associated data while suppressing non-recorded events.

  • Patent number: 10884814
    Abstract: System and techniques for multifactor intelligent agent control are described herein. A workload request may be received from a user device via a network. The workload may be instantiated in an isolated environment on an edge computing platform. Here, the isolated environment may be a container or a virtual machine. The instantiation of the workload may include using a hardware security component (SEC) of the mobile edge computing platform to prevent access to data or code of the workload from other environments hosted by the mobile edge computing platform. The workload may then be executed in the isolated environment and a result of the workload returned to the user device.

  • Patent number: 10884709
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an application programming interface (API) includes receiving metadata describing one or more source files of a program. The source files define a plurality of modules, and a first module is selected from among the plurality of modules. A chain of modules is traversed beginning at the first module, based on the metadata, where the chain of modules represents nested module calls described in the metadata. The traversing includes maintaining a set of common include files that are common to each module visited in the traversal of the chain of modules. Each include file in the set of common include files is placed into at least one of a request file list and a response file list. An API is generated for the module by submitting the set of common include files, the request file list, and the response file list to an API generator.

  • Patent number: 10872000
    Abstract: Technology for implementing a system for customizing software recipes or applets is described. In some implementations, a method, implemented using a computing device, may include receiving request to execute a software recipe from a first software application operated by a first user and determining whether the software recipe includes a connection placeholder for a recipe connection to a second software application. The method may then determine whether a first connection to the second software application exists for the first user, retrieve first connection details of the first connection to the second software application from a recipe connection data store, and execute the software recipe using the first connection details in place of the connection placeholder for the recipe connection to the second software application. In some implementations, interaction with and execution of the software recipes is performed using bots in a chat environment.

  • Patent number: 10872001
    Abstract: A data distribution computer system. The system comprises a data store, a non-transitory memory, a processor, and a data propagation application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the application initiates execution of a plurality of data propagation agents in a restricted runtime environment and provides information to the agents identifying data that is available in the data store via a discovery application programming interface (API). The application further provides data from the data store to the agents via a data access API, where the data propagation application manages the scheduling of the agents and restricts the data in the data store that is propagated to the agents based on an access policy for each agent.

  • Patent number: 10747552
    Abstract: The presentation of data models (a story) on a mobile device having limited memory and processing resources includes instantiating widgets one at a time for interaction with a user. When the user completes their interaction, the instance of that widget is removed from memory (destroyed); widgets are therefore stateless. A context framework that manages the application of filters to widgets that comprise the story. When a filter is applied, widget snapshot images used to display corresponding widgets in a collection view can be updated to reflect state changes of affected corresponding widgets so that users can see the state changes despite the widget being stateless.

  • Patent number: 10671448
    Abstract: Devices and systems supporting more than one Virtual Assistant (VA) are able to initiate and collaborate with multiple virtual assistants within the same session and at the same time. This system allows application specific virtual assistants to register and listen for intents from a general purpose virtual assistant. When the general purpose virtual assistant raises an intent, control can be passed to an interested application specific virtual assistant for handling. The system of registering new intents increases the knowledge of the general purpose virtual assistant, or overloads the handling of an existing intent.
