Publication number: 20220394402Abstract: A hybrid in-person and remote audiovisual conference broadcasting system provides a centrally controlled system for managing and broadcasting the audiovisual data collected from mobile devices both in humanly perceptible proximity of an in-person public-address system and beyond humanly perceptible proximity to the in-person public-address system. In an exemplary embodiment, a moderator controls requests from various participant members to broadcast audio or video from their personal mobile device to the other group members. Some members may be in proximity to an in-person public address system where they may for example be able to hear amplified audio and see live projected or otherwise presented video. In this exemplary embodiment, remote users not in proximity to the in-person public address system may also participate by for example listening to and viewing the broadcast audiovisual data on their personal mobile devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: KENNETH NATHANIEL SHERMAN, ANDREW MICHAEL LIVINGSTON

Patent number: 9910854Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, archived system management facility (SMF) data may be verified against a signature, even if the data to be verified against the signature is split among two or more history files. When archiving an SMF data dump, an indication is kept that includes locations of signatures found while a system management facility (SMF) data dump is being archived. For example, the indication may be kept in metadata of the history file (e.g., in the history file itself, a status block outside the history file, a collective index, etc.). Then when extracting the archived data, if the data corresponding to a signature is in a different history file, the data corresponding to the signature from all of the history files is concatenated for verification.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: CA, Inc.Inventor: Michael Livingston
