  • Patent number: 11609837
    Abstract: Monitoring and enhancing performance of containers using a calibration technique is implemented using a computer. Performance of a new container as part of an application running on the computer is checked by comparing a current performance of the new container with baseline data corresponding to the new container. The baseline data is derived from a calibration container corresponding to the new container. The new container is categorized in a category of performance based on the checking of the performance of the new container. An alert can be sent to a device of an administrator regarding the new container meeting a threshold of performance, in response to the new container meeting the threshold of performance. The alert can be sent to the device of the administrator for the administrator to initiate an action pertaining to the new container in response to receiving the alert.

  • Patent number: 10791219
    Abstract: A method, program product, and system for audio content control during an idle condition of a telephonic call. A signal identifying an idle condition is received by a calling device from a called party, wherein the idle condition includes a wait-state connection to the called party. A signal is transmitted from the calling device to the called party confirming local control of audio content during the idle condition of the audio call. Preferences of audio content accessible to the calling device are determined. The audio content is delivered to the calling device, based on the preferences. An indicator signal of an interrupt point pause during delivery of the audio content is transmitted to the called party, and information associated with the idle condition of the audio call is received by the calling device, from the called party based on the indicator signal of the interrupt point.
