  • Patent number: 11042222
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are display systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums which provide for a gesture-based method for specifying a region of a display in which to show shared content. Also disclosed are pairing methods for associating the region of the display with a content source device, methods for sharing content within the region, and methods for providing input from the region back to the content source device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10616136
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed provide for dynamically allocating resources based on a utilization of a computing resource, such as a network or a stable storage device. In one aspect, a system including processing circuitry configured to perform operations, the operations including determining, at a first time, a utilization spike of a computing resource based on a utilization threshold, automatically adjusting the utilization threshold based on the determination, determining, during a time window, one or more second utilization spikes of the computing resource based on the adjusted utilization threshold; and dynamically reallocating resources in response to the determined one or more second utilization spikes meeting a first criterion.

  • Patent number: 10244104
    Abstract: System and techniques for sound-based call-quality detector are described herein. An audio sample can be received via a hardware interface from an on-going communication. The audio sample can be processed to produce a transcript. The transcript can be compared to a call-quality dataset to produce a call-quality degradation indication. Here, the call quality dataset includes indicia of communication quality. Network maintenance can then be performed in response to the call-quality degradation indication. The network maintenance can include adjusting a network device setting.
