  • Patent number: 11221819
    Abstract: An extendable augmented reality (AR) system for recognizing objects. The AR system may incorporate plugins to improve the AR system's ability to recognize objects, such as by adding external matchable data or using external recognition algorithms. The plugins may be installed/activated dynamically by a user to expand the system's AR capabilities. The AR system may also incorporate plugins to improve the AR system's post-recognition features such as supplying a user with supplemental content or follow-up functionality. The AR system may filter communications with the plugins to centralize identification processes, to shield plugins, and to ensure plugins are only activated at appropriate times.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10657154
    Abstract: Data within a database partition that is being migrated may be made available for access. Data within a database partition may be selected for migration. Writes to the selected data may be prevented while the data is being migrated. Writes to other data, or read access any of the partition, may be allowed during the migration of the selected data. Rollback events may be detected for a database partition that is being migrated, halting the further selection of data for migration and deleting the successfully migrated data at the copy of the database partition being created.
