  • Patent number: 11675481
    Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a multi-platform omni-channel content creation and distribution system. The system includes a multi-platform media content data and logic structure, a user interface logic section configured to interface with a user and the multi-platform media content data and logic structure, and a multi-sectional view configured to be shown on a display. The multi-sectional view includes a metadata section in a first section thereof and a simulated true-to-life preview section in a second section thereof. The user interface logic section receives metadata information from the user. The metadata section displays the metadata information. The multi-platform media content data and logic structure causes the simulated true-to-life preview section to show a piece of content with exact proportional dimensions and appearance as it would appear under actual non-simulated real-world circumstances for a particular media platform and associated physical device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10250456
    Abstract: Techniques for managing operation in cloud computing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method can include receiving data representing a guaranteed value of a performance metric of a cloud service and an error budget and deriving a switching threshold based on a combination of the value of the performance metric and the error budget. The method also includes determining a current value of the performance metric of the cloud service and causing the cloud computing system to selectively switch between operational modes for providing the cloud service based on a comparison between the determined current value of the performance metric and the switching threshold.
