  • Patent number: 11929933
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for streaming data between a user device and a remote computing environment via a “switchboard” service that enables interaction without the user device or the remote computing environment establishing additional connections. A first routing device receives a connection from a user device that requests routing a data stream to or from a remote computing environment. The first routing device processes the request by generating a token, which is passed to the remote computing environment along with the request. The remote computing environment passes the token to a second routing device, which decodes the routing token to identify the first routing device. The second routing device then passes the request token to the first routing device, which responds by establishing a route for streaming data between the connection made with the user device and the remote computing environment via the routing devices.

  • Patent number: 11457050
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for communications between computing devices via an ephemeral data stream routing service, which allows the devices to establish a single-use connection for streaming arbitrary amounts of data. A computing device may request an ephemeral data stream from the ephemeral data stream routing service, which may respond by creating an endpoint and providing a single-use URL that locates the endpoint. The sending and receiving computing devices may then use the single-use URL to connect to the endpoint, which may be implemented on a single routing device or a pair of routing devices within the ephemeral data stream routing service. The service then relays a data stream from the sender to the receiver, and may forward the data stream from one routing device to another within the service as needed. The ephemeral data stream routing service then removes the endpoint and invalidates the single-use URL.

  • Publication number: 20220091832
    Abstract: A polygon simplification computer system for performing polygon simplification within a web application pipeline has a memory device including a three-dimensional data model (3D data model), a Node.js environment, and a polygon simplification module for performing one or more polygon simplification operations on the 3D data model. The polygon simplification module has a binding component including a set of bindings that convert JavaScript into C++ source code, and a mesh simplification module comprising a C++ compiled polygon simplification framework. The polygon simplification module receives a request for the 3D data model, converts the request into a set of C++ instructions, transmits the instructions to the mesh simplification module, receives a 3D simplified data model, and transmits the 3D simplified data model to a client computing device.
