  • Patent number: 11922204
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating and using a dynamic asset inventory are disclosed. According to an implementation, a dynamic inventory can be generated by a function included in a security agent that provides security for a network environment. First computing asset information can be collected from first data sources, and the first computing asset information can be supplemented with second computing asset information. The supplemented computing asset information can be used to generate log files for computing assets. The log files can be used to generate an asset search index that supports rapid search of the dynamic asset inventory.

  • Patent number: 10554925
    Abstract: RAW camera images may be processed by a computer system using either a particular application or a system level service. In either case, at least some parameters needed for the processing are preferably separated from the executable binary of the application or service, and are provided in separate, non-executable, data-only files. Each of these files can correspond to a particular camera or other imaging device. When a user of the system attempts to open a RAW image file from an unsupported device, the local system may contact a server for on-demand download and on-the-fly installation of the required support resource.
