Patent number: 11979618Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices, and other aspects of a data processing system improve reliability in transmitting digital media content over a network using resource constrained hardware. Media content may be received from a media source and used to generate data segments. A reference to a first segment of the media content stored in the buffer is written to a message queue. A computing device switches into copy data mode in response to the number of references in the buffer being greater than or equal to a first threshold value. A second segment of the media content is written directly to the message queue.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: Amit Kumar, Gopikumar Ranganathan

Publication number: 20240045789Abstract: Systems and methods for remote debugging perform remote debugging of a receiving device, such as a set-top box or other connected media player, even when the receiving device is located behind a firewall. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. Since it is an outbound connection, it connects across firewall restrictions. A remote debug machine sends a message via the message server to the receiving device over a network. The message carries the command/operation to be executed by the receiving device. The receiving device, which receives the command, executes the command and sends the output of the command to a debug data upload server to which the remote debug machine has access.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Gopikumar Ranganathan, Amit Kumar

Publication number: 20230224287Abstract: Automated processes, computing systems, computing devices and other aspects of a data processing system provide improved reliability in delivering digital media content over the Internet or a similar wide area network without sacrificing data security. Content is initially placed into a secure format (e.g., secure hypertext transport protocol (HTTPS) via transport control protocol (TCP) or the like). Prior to transmission on the network, the secure data packets are encapsulated within connectionless frames, such as user datagram protocol (UDP) frames. The client device that receives the encapsulated packets extracts the underlying secure content from the connectionless frames for further processing. The encapsulation into connectionless data frames permits client and server devices to establish effective streaming sessions while preserving the security of the underlying data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: GOPIKUMAR RANGANATHAN, RAKESH ELUVAN PERIYAELUVAN

Patent number: 11665132Abstract: Server devices operating on the Internet or another wide area network (WAN) are able to locate client devices using address information obtained from a shared location. Client devices initially determine their own network address information and submit the determined information for a priori storage at the shared location on the WAN. Each server device, in turn, contacts a message service or the like to establish a persistent data connection that is maintained between the message service and the server device over time. After the client device stores its own address information, the client initiates contact with the server via the message service having the previously-established persistent connection. Upon receipt of the instruction from the message service, the server is able to retrieve the client's previously-stored address information from the WAN storage and use the information to establish a connection with the client.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Inventors: Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Gopikumar Ranganathan

Patent number: 11650923Abstract: Novel techniques are described for lock-free sharing of a circular buffer. Embodiments can provide shared, lock-free, constant-bitrate access by multiple consumer systems to a live stream of audiovisual information being recorded to a circular buffer by a producer. For example, when a producer system writes a data stream to the circular buffer, the producer system records shared metadata. When a consumer system desires to begin reading from the shared buffer at a particular time, the shared metadata is used to compute a predicted write pointer location and corresponding dirty region around the write pointer at the desired read time. A read pointer of the consumer system can be set to avoid the dirty region, thereby permitting read access to a stable region of the circular buffer without relying on a buffer lock.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: DISH Network Technologies India Privated LimitedInventors: Amit Kumar, Gopikumar Ranganathan

Media content may be received from a media source and used to generate data segments. An address may be written to a message queue, with the address referencing a first segment of the media content stored in the buffer. A computing device may check whether a number of addresses stored in a message queue is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. A second segment of the media content may be written to the message queue in response to the number of addresses stored in the message queue being greater than or equal to the first threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2022Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Inventors: Amit Kumar, Gopikumar Ranganathan

Patent number: 11575659Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing secure remote connections to media devices establish a secure shell (SSH) connection between two machines which are located in two different private networks, such as between a remote debugging computer and a receiving device. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. The remote debugging computer connects to a relay manager and obtains a relay instance IP address and port. The relay manager then forwards the relay instance IP address and port to the receiving device via the message server. After receiving the connection request from the message server, the receiving device connects to the relay instance IP and port and waits for the input data. The remote debugging computer performs an SSH handshake and the receiving device directly authenticates the SSH connection.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: DISH NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES INDIA PRIVATE LIMITEDInventors: Gopikumar Ranganathan, Rakesh Eluvan Periyaeluvan, Ranjith Rajan

Patent number: 11546305Abstract: Various arrangements for performing secure domain name system (DNS) routing are presented. A secure signature may be generated using an internet protocol (IP) address of an authorized device. An encoded character string may be generated that comprises the IP address. The domain name server may receive a request for an IP address mapped to the hostname. The hostname may be validated using the secure signature. The IP address of the authorized device may be decoded from the encoded character string at least partially in response to the hostname being validated by the domain name server. The IP address decoded from the encoded character string may be transmitted at least partially based on the hostname being validated and the request for the IP address.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: DISH Network Technologies India Private LimitedInventors: Jagan Govindarajan, Gopikumar Ranganathan, Jayachandrakumar Konduru, Roopesh Gottipati
