  • Patent number: 11695546
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a session identifier from a streaming system that identifies a user session with the streaming system. The method further includes receiving a first message from a streaming system that is based on a token that is generated based on a combination of the session identifier and a timestamp at which an insertable content item was presented to the user in a content stream by the streaming system. The first message is decrypted using a plurality of timestamps that are within a range of a current time. An identifier is determined for the insertable content item based on the decrypted message. A second message is transmitted to an enabling system, the message including instructions for execution by the enabling system to execute one or more operations with the identified insertable content item.

  • Patent number: 11659019
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for resource mapping during URL changes in multi-tenant distributed computing systems. The distributed computing system may resolve a URL by using a tenant and/or site name extracted from the URL to retrieve an entry in a site map table. The entry includes an address to a database that contains the requested content. After a tenant or site name has been changed, or if the tenant or site have been moved, the distributed computing system will resolve pre-existing URLs to the old entry, resulting in a file not found error. In some embodiments, during an operation that changes a tenant or site name, a redirect URL containing the new tenant and/or site name is added to the old entry. When a request addressed to a URL containing the old tenant and/or site names is received, the distributed system sends a redirect response that includes the redirect URL.

  • Patent number: 11588866
    Abstract: An online system tailors audio segments for users accessing a live audio stream such that the audio segments can be presented to users during a break of the live audio stream. The audio segment can include interactive content as well as one or both of an audio clip and a standard message, each of which serves as a type of introduction to the interactive content. For each user, the online system analyzes characteristics of the user to determine whether to include the standard message in addition to the audio clip, or to withhold the standard message from the audio segment. Therefore, different users accessing the live audio stream can be appropriately introduced to the interactive content which can improve the likelihood that the users interact with the interactive content.

  • Publication number: 20220276893
    Abstract: Operation requests received from a tenant are added to a tenant-specific queue. A tenant scheduling work item is added to an execution queue that is shared with oilier tenants. When the tenant scheduling work item is executed, it copies up to a defined number of scheduled operations from the tenant-specific queue to the execution queue. The tenant-scheduling work item then re-adds itself to the execution queue. While the operations are executed and before the tenant scheduling work item is executed again, other tenants have an opportunity to queue their own operations. The tenant scheduling work item selects scheduled operations from the tenant-specific queue in the order they were originally requested until one of several conditions is met. Conditions may be based on how many operations are in progress, what kind of operations are in progress, and/or dependencies between operations of different types.
