  • Patent number: 12293177
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for uploading network applications. For instance, system(s) may initially receive first data representing a first version of a network application and a first manifest that includes information describing the file contents of the first version. The system(s) may then store the first data and the first manifest within one or more databases. After the network application is updated to a second version, the system(s) may receive a second manifest that includes information describing the file contents of the second version of the network application. The system(s) may then use the first manifest and/or the second manifest to identify files that have been modified to create the second version of the network application. The system(s) may then receive second data representing the identified files and then reconstruct the second version of the network application using the first data and the second data.

  • Patent number: 11896899
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for providing network applications. For instance, system(s) may install a network application on a first virtual server. The system(s) may then receive first data representing events that occurred during a first launching of the network application on the first virtual server. Using the events, the system(s) may generate second data for optimizing a second launching of the network application on a second virtual server and store the second data in one or more databases. As such, after installing the network application on the second virtual server, the system(s) may provide the second virtual server with the second data so that the second virtual server may use the second data to optimize the second launching of the network application. In some examples, using the second data reduces the amount of time that it takes for the second virtual server to launch the network application.

  • Patent number: 11250857
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to using a voice user interface for creating a poll to send to users. A poll requestor can create a poll using voice instructions and specify response options and setup information. After creating the poll, the system broadcasts it to users who can respond to the poll. The poll may be broadcasted while a user is receiving content. The users can respond using a voice user interface. The system compiles the responses and provides them to the poll requestor.
