Publication number: 20220300178Abstract: Techniques are provided for multi-tier write allocation. A storage system may store data within a multi-tier storage environment comprising a first storage tier (e.g., storage devices maintained by the storage system), a second storage tier (e.g., a remote object store provided by a third party storage provider), and/or other storage tiers. A determination is made that data (e.g., data of a write request received by the storage system) is to be stored within the second storage tier. The data is stored into a staging area of the first storage tier. A second storage tier location identifier, for referencing the data according to a format utilized by the second storage tier, is assigned to the data and provided to a file system hosting the data. The data is then destaged from the staging area into the second storage tier, such as within an object stored within the remote object store.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Ganga Bhavani Kondapalli, Kevin Daniel Varghese, Ananthan Subramanian, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Anil Paul Thoppil

Publication number: 20220147418Abstract: Techniques are provided for remote object store error handling. A storage system may store data within one or more tiers of storage, such as a local storage tier (e.g., solid state storage and disks maintained by the storage system), a remote object store (e.g., storage provided by a third party storage provider), and/or other storage tiers. Because the remote object store may not provide the same data consistency and guarantees that the storage system provides for clients such as through the local storage tier, additional validation is provided by the storage system for the remote object store. For example, when data is put into an object of the remote object store, a verification get operation is performed to read and validate information within a header of the object. Other verifications and checks are performed such as using a locally stored metafile to detect corrupt or lost metadata and/or objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Ananthan Subramanian, Ganga Bhavani Kondapalli, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Kevin Daniel Varghese, Anil Paul Thoppil, Qinghua Zheng

Patent number: 11301838Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating network transactions through use of browser extensions. One exemplary method includes accessing a virtual location associated with an entity through a web browser and receiving, from a user, a selection of a browser extension associated with the web browser, when at least one product is designated by the user at the virtual location. The method also includes calling a first application programming interface (API) associated with a virtual account platform, based on the selection of the browser extension, requesting virtual account information for the user from the virtual account platform, and displaying the virtual account information to the user. The method further includes calling a second API associated with the entity, requesting a transaction amount for the at least one product, and submitting a request for a network transaction based on the received virtual account information and the received transaction amount.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Emily Marie Thompson, Corey M.

Patent number: 11210013Abstract: Techniques are provided for object store mirroring. Data within a storage tier of a node may be determined as being data to tier out to a primary object store based upon a property of the data. A first object is generated to comprise the data. A second object is generated to comprise the data. The first object is transmitted to the primary data store for storage in parallel with the second object being transmitted to a mirror object store for storage. Tiering of the data is designated as successful once acknowledgements are received from both the primary object that the first object was stored and the mirror object store that the second object was stored.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Anil Paul Thoppil, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Qinghua Zheng, Jeevan Hunsur Eswara, Nicholas Gerald Zehender, Ronak Girishbhai Ghadiya, Sridevi Jantli

Patent number: 11087539Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) system for generating AR-based profiles using an AR computing device and an AR display device is provided. The AR system is configured to detect a consumer computing device located at a predefined distance from the AR display device, and transmit an electronic request message to an electronic computer application stored on the consumer computing device. The AR system is also configured to receive an electronic response message from the consumer computing device, wherein the electronic response message includes AR consumer data, and retrieve, from a database, an AR-based profile associated with the consumer based on the AR consumer identifier. The AR system is further configured to transmit the AR-based profile in the form of AR data to the AR display device, and display the AR data on a display screen of the AR display device.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Rick Unnerstall, Ping X Chen, Brian Williams, Emily Marie Thompson, Ke Zhou, Zhenni Hu, Christopher Eric Mullen

Publication number: 20210217029Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for detecting and addressing billing fraud by an asserted provider of a good or service based on location data associated with card-based financial transactions by an asserted recipient and collected, stored, analyzed, and acted on by a payment card network to determine and respond to a likelihood of fraud. A computer stores locations of the recipient based on uses of a payment card over a time period, and determines a location of the provider based on location data associated with a card reader at a particular time at which the good or service was allegedly provided. The computer compares the two locations for the particular time and generates a fraud score based on a likelihood that the recipient was physically capable of being at the provider location at the particular time, and based on the score, may notify the recipient and decline the payment request.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2020Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: Emily Marie Thompson, Christopher Eric Mullen, Kyle Leslie, Richard B.

Publication number: 20200159705Abstract: Techniques are provided for orphan object detection, invalid sequence number detection, and asynchronous object cleanup. A storage system may store data within one or more tiers of storage, such as a storage tier (e.g., solid state storage and disks maintained by the storage system), a remote object store (e.g., storage provided by a third party storage provider), and/or other storage tiers. Orphan objects, within the remote object store, that are no longer used by the storage system may be detected and/or deleted. When an aggregate of volumes is deleted, corresponding objects, within the remote object store, may be identified and/or deleted. Invalid sequence numbers (e.g., lost or corrupt sequence numbers locally maintained in a metafile) assigned to objects within the remote object store may be identified, deleted, and/or fixed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2020Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: Ananthan Subramanian, Sridevi Jantli, Anil Paul Thoppil, Cheryl Marie Thompson, Qinghua Zheng
