Patent number: 11511196Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for predictive preloading of game data are described. In some implementations, a method can include using a machine learning model of player data to predict which games (or game-related data assets) to begin preloading prior to a user making a game selection. Once the user makes a selection, any preloading not related to the selection can be terminated. Thus, during the time period when the user is viewing available game selections, a given number of selections can begin to be preloaded based on predictions from the machine learning model. The preloading can help reduce latency from game selection by the user to game start time.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Roblox CorporationInventor: John Kerr

Patent number: 11033824Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for predictive preloading of game data are described. In some implementations, a method can include using a machine learning model of player cohort behavior to predict which games (or game-related data assets) to begin preloading prior to a user making a game selection. Once the user makes a selection, any preloading not related to the selection can be terminated. Thus, during the time period when the user is viewing available game selections, a given number of selections can begin to be preloaded based on predictions from the machine learning model. The preloading can help reduce latency from game selection by the user to game start time.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Roblox CorporationInventor: John Kerr

Patent number: 9706557Abstract: The invention relates to signaling of MGW identity in SIP-I. A Call Control Unit of a network includes an Input/Output unit. The Call Control Unit includes a processing unit in communication with the input/output unit. The Call Control Unit includes a memory unit in communication with the processing unit, the processing unit producing a signal having information which identifies a seized Media Gateway (MGW) related to a call establishment or one or more offered Media Gateways, which is sent via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to a Mobile Switching Center (MSC)-Server in the network which is in charge to seize a MGW. A computer readable medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by at least one processing unit, signals a media gateway (MGW) identity.

Patent number: 9155025Abstract: Technology for method for reducing the number of unsuccessful service change attempts of a first mobile terminal is presented. The first mobile terminal is connectable via a mobile network to a further terminal by establishing a call connection for providing a first service or by establishing a call connection for providing a second service. The first mobile terminal receives a first indication signal indicating that a service change to the second service is temporarily unavailable from a mobile network node administrating an established call connection for providing the first service. In response to receiving the first indication signal, the first mobile terminal refrains from requesting a service change to the second service until reception of a further indication signal from the mobile network node indicating that a service change is available again.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Unwired Planet, LLCInventors: Jörg Schrader, Patrice Hédé, John Kerr

Publication number: 20150248211Abstract: A new hybrid method for displaying, detecting, and selecting objects in a CAD system is disclosed. A CAD model is loaded and displayed using one of several render techniques to approximate natural visual perception (e.g. hidden-line rendering, solid rendering or 3D textured rendering). These render techniques necessarily hide parts of the model to approximate natural vision; additionally, only objects visible to the rendered presentation may be detected (as geometry “snapped to” for additional constructions) or selected for editing. The hybrid presentation method provides in any editing context an instantly available “x-ray view” that apparently de-renders the model in a region surrounding the point of interest and makes any part of the model at any depth visible within the region available for detection, selection or editing. In this mode objects are selectable not by their faces, but by their edges, which are more easily distinguished and picked in this view.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2014Publication date: September 3, 2015Applicant: Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc.Inventors: Steve Johnson, Joshua Loy, John Kerr, Hernan Stamati, Justin Hutchison, Daniel Abretske
