  • Publication number: 20240129573
    Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.

  • Publication number: 20240114078
    Abstract: A push gateway brokers messages between backend services and client devices connected to the gateway. The gateway includes a plurality of messaging frontend servers, a messaging database, and a plurality of topic servers. The messaging frontend servers manage the socket connections connecting the client devices to the push gateway. The messaging frontend servers may further monitor the socket connections, collecting analytical data on the client devices and the connections. The messaging database is a key-value database that subscribes messaging frontend servers to topics. The topic servers receive publish requests from the backend servers to identify subscribed messaging frontend servers in the messaging database to push messages out to. The frontend messaging servers subsequently push out the message to the client devices subscribed to the topic.

  • Publication number: 20240077781
    Abstract: Conventional high performance computer connections are electron-based systems, which require the memory packages to be as close as mechanically possible to the computation engine. Low power and high bandwidth communication, e.g. photonic, links can drastically change the architecture of high-performance computers by eliminating the bottlenecks in communication and augment existing memory systems to allow them to be both high capacity and high bandwidth simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20240075391
    Abstract: A location-based game helps players interact with their environment without interrupting the game. For example, while a player is playing the location-based game on a client device, the client device displays a virtual content item adjacent to a location (or building) associated with the content item. The content item may provide information about the location. The content item may be displayed without obscuring virtual objects of the game, thus allowing the player to continue playing the game and simultaneously learn about and interact with their environment.
