  • Patent number: 11509612
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating the presentation of expressive intent and other status information with messaging and other communication applications. The expressive intent is based on expressive effect data associated with the message recipients and/or message senders. The expressive intent can be conveyed through avatars and modified message content. The avatars convey gestures, emotions and other status information and the presentation of the avatars can be reactive to detected state information of the message recipient(s), message sender(s) and/or corresponding messaging device(s).

  • Publication number: 20220357001
    Abstract: A lighting device includes a light permeable body which has an aperture through which light enters the body. A light source is moveable relative to the body to enable the lighting device to adopt selectively one of a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the light source is positioned over the aperture so that light emitted by the light source passes through the body before illuminating the room. In the second configuration, the light source is spaced laterally from the aperture so that the room is illuminated directly by light emitted from the light source.

  • Patent number: 11487467
    Abstract: Rapid writing to and reading from even very large amounts of data, especially where the data evolves more slowly over time. For each of a sequence of commits of the data, the data is represented by identifying pages of the data that have changed since a prior commit in the sequence of commits. A sparce file is formulate for the commit, and contains each of identified pages, and for each identified page a mapping of the identified to a page address of the identified page in the address range. The sparce file is then stored as associated with the corresponding commit. Thus, an ordered sequence of sparce files can be created and layered on top of a base file that represents the entire page address range. The sparce files may be quite small as there may be relatively few pages (or perhaps even no pages) that changed since the prior commit in the sequence of commits. Reads occur by creating a sparce in-memory object, and checking for each page at each sparce.

  • Publication number: 20220327170
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems for communicating data. In particular, systems for communicating data to and from mobile devices are described. One system involves the use of a server to store the association between a shortcode and the data. A user device can be used to transmit the shortcode to a second user device. The second user device can then access the association at the server to access the data. The shortcode is transmitted via an audibly unique signal between the two devices. Further devices, systems, and methods for redeeming vouchers, transferring money, unlocking content on a device, and authenticating transactions all using audio are also disclosed. A method for managing data communication on a mobile device is further disclosed. In addition, a system for asynchronous transmission of the data is disclosed by use of reserving a shortcode at a server before the shortcode is associated with data.

  • Publication number: 20220253524
    Abstract: A behavioral monitor executing in user space generates a plurality of filters corresponding to a plurality of processes executing in the user space. A first process transmits a system call to a corresponding filter of the plurality of filters in kernel space. The first process receives a signal from the corresponding filter. The first process analyzes the arguments submitted in the system call. The first process determines that the arguments may be associated with malicious activity. The first process generates an event and transmitting the event to the behavioral monitor. The behavioral monitor analyzes the event to determine whether the event is associated with malicious activity. The behavioral monitor causes a process group associated with the first process to cease executing and restores a previous version of the at least one file modified by the process group.
