  • Patent number: 12192062
    Abstract: Methods are presented herein for a reduced state machine that describes nodes and relationship dynamics representing real network elements (networking devices and software processes) in a computer/data network, and abstracted logical items. Logical states of networking features of the network elements are reflected in the graph, while configuration data is stored for completeness. A method called a “Versioner Algorithm” is provided to record the temporal history of a node and its state over time within the node's metadata itself, while recorded relationships represent logical relations between observed nodes. A method is also provided to time-travel back to observe a historical view of the network. Further still, a method is provided to a difference of two historical topologies and return that data in human-readable or machine consumable form.

  • Publication number: 20240362968
    Abstract: A system and method(s) to perform operations that include detecting user input that indicates use of a gaming machine. The operations further include gathering, in response to detection of the user input, prompt-related data. The prompt-related data can include any relevant or available information associated with use of, or a user of, the gaming machine. The operations further include generating, based on the prompt-related data, a prompt. The operations further include dynamically generating, via a machine learning model using the prompt, original gaming content. The operations further include presenting, via a presentation device of the gaming machine, the dynamically generated gaming content.
